Replaced Coil Springs - 69 Mustang 351

So, this will just be a very short entry and I apologize for that, but I don't have much time so that's the only option right now.

My brother Jon is up at college now so we are living close together. Before he came up he and my dad rebuilt an 351 Cleavland engine for his 69 Mustang and put it in with headers and all. They drove it up here on a trailer and upon arrival noticed that the front end of the car was very low. The weight of the new engine was too much for the front springs to support.

So, last Saturday and yesterday my brother and I worked to replace the springs on his front wheels. The first one took us six hours to accomplish and we did that last week. The second one we did in about 2 hours and 15 minutes and we did that yesterday. We were both very glad that it went much quicker this time.

In addition, yesterday I got my horn working again. It appears that the previous fuse just blew (maybe from age) so I replaced it and now my car is ready to go pass Safety and Emissions. There is another whole story about how it didn't pass safety before, but I'll have to leave that for another blog entry.

Also, sorry about how dirty the cars are. It rained a few times this week.





And here is a picture that Paula took of me working on figuring out my car horn.
