Hey Alf! Thanks for all the great videos! I’ve got a ‘67 convertible and I’m in the process of installing new suspension and disk brake conversion (CSRP). I’ve gotten everything removed and want to clean up the underside and wheel wells. What type of undercoating did you use? How important is it to grind all areas of surface rust back to bare metal? Thanks!
We used Raptor undercoating on this. You'll want to keep in mind if you sand that floor to bare metal, you need to coat it in a direct to metal epoxy primer first. The undercoating doesn't provide a sealing agent and is not intended for direct to metal. You don't necessarily have to take it to bare metal either. Just depends on the car if you still have the original primer down. We just did a very through job of cleaning and degreasing the floor and then went over the original primer with a light scuff before spraying the undercoating. I hope that helps.
I have a rebuilt steer gear box off of a donor car. Do I have to yank out the column if I'm just replacing or can I just slide the old one out and put the new one back in? Thanks!
I have found that you have to remove column because you need to room to pull it out. Plus, if it's a V8 car and the engine is installed, you won't be able to get it out without pulling the engine.
Hey bud i wss wondering if you could tell me a donor car i could use to order a master cylinder from. I did the front disk brake swap. So now the car is disk/drum manual brakes. Could I use a 69 Mustang disk/drum manual? I tried the 75 Mavrick master but i think i may have ended up with the power master. The brakes are really soft and brake lights dont turn on until the pedal travels a long way.
I'm always learning something good from your videos. Thx loads!
You're very welcome. You know what's cool? I learn something new from doing all this stuff too. 😃
Great work alf. Looks like the need some new floor boards as well!
Yes! She did need a front driver side patch. Luckily, it wasn't too bad. Passenger side had a past repair.

Very helpful. Thank you! Really appreciate the reply!

I just have an old service book but you can get that stuff from a Chilton manual as well.
@@AlfsMustangGarage Thanks Alf! Appreciate all of your help and advice!
