  • This is a video of Mike's brothers 1969 Mach 1. It has the old school way of documenting a restoration with actual photos in the binder. I converted them to video format for this video. At the end of the slide show Mike tells a little bit of the back story of this car which has been in his family since 1980. We hope you enjoy the episode with the 69 Mustang!

    Just another fine example of this Family, using their skills and knowledge, to build another fine automobile. Always thought a lot of Russ and John , and the knowledge and craftsmanship, a father has been able to pass on to their sons. Such a wonderful family! God has blessed you all, with the ability to shine, in everything you all have accomplished. Just know how much you boys have been blessed, within your lives. Most of us, could only dream, of having such great love and support from our fathers. I remember seeing this Mach 1, setting back in your dads garage, way back in the early 90's. It's been in the family for a LONG time.

    Nice car- where to find parts to put power windows & locks on 70 mach 1

    • @mustangmike5324
      @mustangmike5324 Před 2 lety +1

      Plenty of options for power window and door lock conversations. Just search them out on google. I don't have any that I would recommend as my car is different to what you'd be using. I wish I could be more help, but they are all similar. You will have to drill some holes to run the wires for both. That's where it gets a little tricky. You need some kind of boot from the pillar to the door. I think a fox body Mustang'a boot might work?? Hope this helps some. Thanks for watching!!

Make sure the crank rotates and change the oil. Put oil in that has a high content of ZDDP. Pull the distributor and prime the engine. Reinstall and crank. Of course the fuel system will be an issue. Need to clean the tank and on and on. OR just use a separate fuel source just to see if the engine is ok. Hope this helps...I'm sure I missed something, but that's a good start...
