Rebuilding The Terminated Cobra1FAFP48Y43F309694

Back to THIS post. So, why pull the axles to prevent him from moving the body around? Why didn't you just leave the axles and put the car on jack stands with the wheels removed? Or just tell him not to move it. Some of what you've done in the past, present, and plan in the future is a bit confusing.

How did your roommate check for frame straightness? Did he have equipment in that tiny garage? Haul it to a local shop?

Knee jerk reactions. I had told him to stop and didn't trust him to just have it up in the air with the wheels on.

Can you answer my questions in paragraph 2 above?

Bet a tape measure, a squinted eye, and a tongue hanging out to sell the hail mary guess he was throwing out.

Well he said with a tape measure. However I wasn't around and I also never saw one around so I am fairly certain it's a lie. Backed up by talking to the same frame tech he talked to. The tech told him it was junk but whenever I had the tech over to look at it he said it was fine. My roommate have a 84 C10 that he wanted in the garage. He wanted my car out of "His garage".

OK, well, I think I'm done with this thread. Color me.....confused as hell.

I was told false information by my roommate as he wanted to use the garage and my cobra was preventing that. He was playing mental games to make me get rid of it.

I couldn't imagine being so oblivious and ignorant to the obvious.

Has anyone you've told about this told you it was a good idea??

Was a long night in the garage last night. My buddy was itching to do something so we scrubbed the passenger floor pan. Then we started putting in the body harness. If anyone has pictures as to how things run we would appreciate it, as our book is pretty much useless.

Perhaps you should invest in a Ford service manual set for the '03 Mustang. They usually run $200-$300.

Yup, an EVTM

Service / Repair manual
Don't know if it has the wiring in it..

^ the workshop manual has some basic wiring stuff but there is a separate wiring diagram manual that details every circuit.

also the pc/ed (powertrain control/emission diagnosis) is its own separate book but covers all car and truck lines for that my.

i've found all of these to be gold over the years

What did this "tech" do to tell you it was fine in your garage?

Tape measure as well as another mustang next to it to compare the measurements.

Good luck with your future endeavors. I'll still follow this thread and will do everything in my power to not reply unless it is purely constructive

anyone know what theses go to thinking Amp but they don't work for the mach 460

Just want to make a brief post. Should have more parts coming in soon. Spent the last two weeks going through absolute paperwork hell. It's not something I'm gonna go in to detail on here. I will say about five different times I was ready to throw in the towel. The only thing I will say is that they (The Ohio BMV) had overlooked some things. However, in all this digging and paperwork drama, we were able to figure out that the car in fact, does not need to travel back across the country when it is finished to get registered.

I have somehow stumbled upon your YouTube channel. I must say rather intriguing stuff.

I want to make regular content on the rebuild. I left my current job. I'm making a move For better pay. I got notice of my big parts order about to ship so hopefully between homework and job hunting I can knock a lot of stuff of the list.
Hope I can use my factory door panels however I have a gut feeling im gonna have to get new ones.

Well the first instance of being stupid has hit me. I ordered door panels replacement inserts in black not charcoal...hope I can artificially fade them or something.
