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:
I have a few Petrol Box supplied products to test out. Get ready for those videos!!
Lots more coming!!
Thanks for checking in.

Too hot to work on the Stang. Here is something I like, car related.

Pandemic starting to fade, school about to end, I think it’s about time to get to the auto parts store, minus the mask and get some work done.
But first let’s start with a drive in 73 Mustang (#ProjectSportsRoof).
Enjoy the drive.
Yes…yes…yes….it’s been a while but you can look forward to see more work being done on #ProjectSportsRoof (soon to be #SR73 —get it? SportsRoof – 1973 Mustang…yeah?….cool)
Enjoy the video and I’ll have more coming up with my 73 Stang and a few things with going on with #ProjectBeepBeep – Bill’s 1968 Road Runner.

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:

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:
Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome back.
Install of the new leaf springs on #ProjectSportsRoof was pretty straight forward.
Check it out:
The left side went a bit smoother (lessons learned).
Now a test drive in order!!! That’s coming up.
Thanks for stopping by!!!

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.

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