#ProjectSportsRoof – Gas Leak and What’s Next

Temps weren’t in the triple digits this morning so I thought I’d fire up the Stang (#ProjectSportRoof) and runner down the main drag a bit.   As I started her up and let her idle a bit and wrapped up the car covers I noticed a dripping underneath.

Details:

Average Guys Car Restoration – Product Review – Olsa Tools Magnetic Socket Holders.

I’ve been driving #ProjectSportRoof a lot but there’s still work to do, but I have a back log of products that I need to review.  So the next few post will be dedicated to testing out some of the those items, include other helpful tool organizers  and a few products for detailing your car.

Olsa is a Canadian company that has their tools and products made in Taiwan and tested in auto shops in Canada.

I saw the ad for the Magnetic Socket Holders and purchased them, because my case for my socket set, well over 20 years old has final given up (not with out a fight) the ghost.

Here’s the video:

#ProjectSportsRoof – Leaf Spring Test Drive.

Thanks for following along.

After finishing up what was a 9 hour day of just leaf spring work, I took a couple days off to recover (not as young as I use to be) and now it’s time to see if there’s any improvement in handling and ride with #ProjectSportsRoof.  Oh…O.K.  and to see if any ‘parts’ fall off.  So I took the 73 Stang out for a walk.

Check it out:

 


Successful upgrade!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

#ProjectSportsRoof New Leaf Spring Install Part I

In the last post I prepped #ProjectSportsRoof  bolts and nuts for removal.  I treated them twice a day for two days (sprayed with Liquid Wrench) in hopes they would be easier.

This post, I’m removing and install the new leaf springs.    Pay attention to a couple of safety tips in the video.

 

 


 

Next up a test drive to see how the new springs preform.

Thanks for check in.

#ProjectSportsRoof Leaf Spring Prep

Thanks for stopping to take a peak at what is going on with #ProjectSportsRoof!!!

My 73 Mustang still has it’s original leaf springs and you can tell they are falling apart and sagging.

Several area were the spring is separating.

After a look at the old springs, not only are they sagging and separating they have been on since May 1, 1973 (only 47 years).   Bolts are pretty rusted.  Take a look:

 


Keep checking back for the leaf spring installation.

Also the look for finishing up the seat upholstery that is coming shortly.
