Great progress this week!

With good weather and some extra time off of work (and off of school for my able assistant), we made some very good progress this week.

We spent some time on the brakes again. We've always had some air trapped somewhere and just haven't been able to chase it out. We also realized that our hopes of using a 1993 Mustang brake master cylinder on 1994 Mustang brake calipers wasn't going to work. The '93s had drum brakes in the rear, so the master cylinder is different. We also found a new leak in a brake line connector. After replacing the connector and the master cylinder, we did some brake bleeding and now have a great-feeling brake pedal that we can't wait to test out. We also installed the brake and clutch pedal covers to match the throttle pedal.

We applied a truck bedliner product to the underside of the hood and portions of the body. It looks really nice, and provides some protection to the inside of the fender wells in case we kick up a rock on the road.

We also decided that we aren't going to flip the body over to glue on a headliner for the interior, so we put truck bed liner on it as well.

We fabricated and installed a few block off plates to help weatherproof the interior, and added silicone caulk to a bunch of places that needed it. We trimmed the transmission tunnel cover and installed riveted-in nuts to hold the cover in place. We drilled a hole in each side of the floor to install the "anti-submarine belt". These are race car seatbelts, and one of the 5 straps comes up between your legs to keep you from sliding under the belts in an accident.

At this point we have nothing left on the list that must be done before the body goes back on the car. However, we do need our replacement shocks from Koni before we can move the chassis to give us room to drop the body on. For now, we're working on a dwindling list of things that we can do without the body on the car.

We are getting very close!
