Carburetor

A piece of my carburetor does not appear to be connected. The piece that I am pointing at in the pictures just hangs loose. This is because I have a carburetor from a later year and this is for the transmission hookup which a 67 does not have. I have the original carb in a box that I may rebuild and try out to see if helps performance.

Radio

I bought a Pioneer Premier DEH-P710BT single DIN radio with built in blue tooth and can control an IPod and IPhone.

For front speakers I bought kick panels with speakers holes and upgraded speakers from CJ Pony Parts.


For the back speakers I bought a new package tray to replace the tray with a single 6x9 speaker. I am saving the old speaker just in case somebody wants the original. I cut two holes in the package tray for new Alpine 6 x 9 speakers, painted it black. I put black speaker cloth over the entire package tray so the speakers are hidden.

I am waiting for a DIN radio bezel from CJ Pony Parts and will install the radio when that arrives.

Floor pans

When I removed the driver's seat I noticed some surface rust on the driver side floor pan. I used a wire brush on a drill and steel wool to remove the loose rust, applied rust remover, primed and painted. I forgot to take a before picture but here is the after picture of the driver side front floor pan


I also found surface rust when I removed the back seat to replace the package tray for rear speakers. The back passenger floor pan had rust over a large area.



The front floor plan only had a few spot where the paint appeared to be scratched off.


I used a stripping wheel on a drill and steel wool to remove the loose rust. I then applied rust reformer, primed and painted.








There was also some rust behind the passenger side kick panel

Disc Brakes

I want to convert the front brakes to disc but I would also like to keep the 14" wheels and tires that I have on here now. I read a few posts that some 14" wheels will not work when converting to disc brakes. I need to figure out if these wheels are reproduction or not to assist in figuring out what brake conversions will work

Spare parts

I looked at the contents of some boxes that came with the car. There was an old carburetor, carburetor rebuild kit, distributor cap , ignition wires and voltage regulator. I think these parts have all been replaced but I need to verify that. , manual for heater core and some used engine parts. There are a few pieces that I have not identified, some look like internal engine components.

Heater

Before


After




The heater air plenum assembly is torn so I ordered a new one from California Mustang. I had to remove the heater box to replace the plenum so I stripped and painted the blower motor, and vent door. I also saw some surface rust under the dash that I removed using rust reformer and painted.
