Finished the sound deadening in the main cabin except for the firewall. I need to locate the heater unit mounting points before I load it up with Dynamat. Same for the MSD box, which I plan to mount behind or below the glove box, depending on room. I’m working towards a test fit of the dash to see where everything will end up going. Hopefully I can get the dash in there in the next couple days.
In order to get the dash in and do the final fit up of the heater, I installed the wiper linkage and while I was there I installed the throttle pedal bracket.
Driver’s side quarter window regulator is in. That one fought me way more than the passenger side, but it’s in and seems to be operating pretty smoothly. I’m short one small bolt on the driver’s side, I need to check my surplus bucket to see if I have a spare. I still need to install the glass but the tricky part’s over.
I greased up the driver and passenger window regulators and that seemed to help a small bit. I’m sure I’m way overdue for new window track guides, but that will have to wait.
When I bought the seats from a 2012 Mustang the guy really wanted to unload a bunch of stuff, so for a few bucks more he threw in the rear seats, which I don’t need, and the rear seat belt tensioners and anchors. I forgot about all that until I saw another build thread (thanks
@Jarven1977!) use repurposed Mercedes c-class shoulder belts in the back. I started test fitting one of the tensioners and it should be pretty straightforward to mount in the package tray. I wasn’t able to get any good pics yet, but will later this week for sure.
Lastly, the bedliner kit arrived, and to my surprise it included a schutz gun to apply it with. I was planning to roll it on since I don’t have a lift and you can’t really paint upside down with a siphon gun, but now I’m wondering if I can get the car outside on the driveway and lift the front end with the hoist as I did to remove the k-member, maybe I can angle it up enough to be able to spray it. I don’t need to do the entire underside, I was planning to coat it from the firewall pinch seam to about where the driveshaft meets the rear end. Might work, I may roll it out of the garage tomorrow and give it a try.
