- This week we give you some tips to make that Mustang or Cougar dash panel installation easier. We install a Burton's Antique Auto 1967 Mustang dash bezel, some HiPo Parts Mustang LED dash bulbs, and AMK fasteners all from National Parts Depot. We also install some Dynamat sound deadener on our Mustang Kick panels.

Worthless texting teen was funny the first time but I see this in real life way to much to enjoy this.
As a former videographer and video producer, I would like to let you all know that you really have an excellent storyboard. Thumbs up for the well written humor off shoots and well detailed description on all of your videos.........If you haven't done so, consider restoration video how tos to sell on the internet.
You guys are awesome. These are fantastic tips, and I've watched many other videos that you've done. Put as much goofy humor in these videos as you want! I think what people on CZcams forget is that they aren't paying for this content. Besides, it's easy to just fast forward to the parts you are interested in.
Thank you for this great and informative video. I did learn a lot of valuable information from this. You guys are awesome!
Well Laura, we're sorry that you feel this way. We hope that you find what you need here on CZcams. That is the wonder of the internet, somewhere, out there is a video that will suit your needs with perfect comedy, no distractions, and is not annoying. We hope that you find that video. Thanks for giving us this one shot! Good luck and good hunting.
Good video thanks guys!
I am looking to mount rear view mirror attachment and visors but am afraid to start screwing things up there and messing up my head liner. You guy have any advice it vids?
We'd recommend using the CZcams search bar and typing in Autorestomod headliner. There are two Mustang/Ford headliner series that will show up on there.
Great videos! I'm having a wiring issue with my 67 gauge cluster none tach, I installed LEDs and when I plugged in the harness and turned on the headlight switch I got light then a pop and the ground wire burned up. I've heard LEDs have issues I was wondering if you ran into anything like this? I grounded the cluster before I plugged it in and still have a short, without it grounded would it cause the wires to get that hot??
The instrument lighting has a fuse that should have popped before the wire burned. Plus the the LEDs draw less amps than the incandescent bulbs. I'd look to a shorted wire or something before suspecting the LEDs. The draw on LEDS is so low that if you use a full LED brake, turn system you have to go to an electronic flasher...
Thanks Rouge, we work very hard to pull it together. Most of the time we shoot "cinema verite" and the situations actually come about from things that happen in the shop. We have considered selling them as DVDs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
know the npd part number for the clips used to mount the gauge cluster? or a whole dash hardware kit?
I'd call them. I don't know right off the top of my head.
We have stated a lot of cars up. The '67 is sometimes (like over the last several videos) been put on the back burner. We plan to get it started soon.
Maybe you can help me. I have a 68 mustang 289, replaced the underdash wire harness, and now my ignition resistance wire to coil gets REALLY hot. I replaced voltage regulator and coil, solenoid is pretty new. Help.
On my 68 fback found out my bezel didnt come with the high beam indicator but got lucky and found a guy on ebay that had them they melted or glued the plastic on the original i bought mine a while ago but now scott drake produces them with it thanks for the help with the pillar pads mine was biult with no holes guess ill be drilling less holes now
You are welcome Mark! And thanks for the heads up on the high beam indicator!
I can understand that some folks want to see cars doing "car" things. This series is really for those that want to restore their cars. We plan to do some feature cars soon, but we want to do it right, and right means we need to spend money on gear that is kind of expensive. We will have what you want, but it will be a little ways down the road.
Thanks...We got the turn signal to work when we grounded the cluster before we installed after we installed the turn signals don't work must have a ground issue like you suggested, I will pull the cluster and clean the clear off the lower screw holes that must be the issue. We also found the short it was the voltage gauge it was not installed correctly the plastic washers where installed wrong :(!
Glad to hear that you got it worked out!
after 3 minutes of the texting humor nonsense i quit
gt350kr Well, that sir is your prerogative. Some folks like humor some don't. We hope that you find a channel that suits your desires! =)
@@AutoRestoMod damn son you call that humor, amy schumer must be your comedy coach ; )
you missed out. I enjoy the channel. informative and funy
@@CODEXAMBROSIUS Woah brutal insult
I agree 100%
Well that is your opinion Show and we appreciate your sharing it with us. Most of the time the comedy bits aren't "forced into the video" we a lot of times are putting the things that actually happen into them. Including our camera man (the kid) texting when we are talking to him.
Thank you. I appreciate what you guys do :)

Have having problems lining up my panel assembly, any tips...? Cheers
The panel can be tricky. Biggest problem we've had has been the area by the center panel. The threaded stud will be your best bet to getting that to line up. We didn't install it on the '67 and regret it. We have noticed that the aftermarket dash pads can be deeper than originals and can cause some fitment issues. Make sure that you push the panel up into place tight and use something to locate the holes on either side of the dash pad area. set the center then the outers. If you need some more help contact Jeff at jford@autorestomod.com. Be sure to include pictures.
I need some advice. So I ordered a radio bezel, only one I could find, the top left ear tab is broken off. I have the original that some young nut job chopped on or a new modern radio. take two make one. What is this metal, I want to weld it, but have no idea what type of metal it is. Is it galvanized, zinc, what is this thing made out of?
It is unfortunately the lowest common denominator in metal: pot metal. Not conducive to welding. You might be able to JB weld it but without seeing it I can't say for sure.
Great video.
Thanks
Well done!!!! Mike
I read in a MM once that the non ac cars you can add a try from a Honda will fit in the vent holes. I dunno what year or model I lost my MM in a flood.
Unfortunately my dash panels were not pre threaded!!! Not as hard as I thought but backing them back out was a bit frustrating due to not wanting to cross thread!!! Thanks for all the videos, I've watched several of them for my 67 Mustang!!! Do you have a link for replacing the blinker unit and harness???
We'll be doing a turn signal switch on the '72 F100 soon. most of the things are the same.
AutoRestoMod Muscle Car Resto and Modifications I went ahead and replace the headlight wiring harness and the blinker assembly and the brake lights and blinkers still ain't working. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!
Check your grounds first. Then establish where you have good continuity and work back from there to the taillights.
about how much do you think it will cost in restoring a 68 mustang completely? i just bought one and i wanted to get a idea of how much it would cost to restore it totaly. thank you
We hate to be coy but, without seeing the car it depends. Rust buckets will be expensive. Good solid cars with no rust won't. Expensive depends on the shop yoou choose, how much you will do yourself and how bad the car really is. We've seen restorations go into the $100,000 range for Shelbys. And we've seen cars that were barn finds in low humidity climates that really only needed a paint job and some sprucing where the guy got out for under $10,000.
Kaylee, We'd recommend getting a set of the Jim Osborn assembly manuals if you are in a hurry. Just type Jim Osborn Reproductions into your browser or contact the fine folks at West Coast Classic Cougar. We will be doing a quarter window fix on the '65 Mustang but it will be a few weeks in the making. The assembly and adjustments are quite similar.
Question: What is the easiest way to access the bezel nut on the right side of the gauge cluster?
A small alien. If that fails, go in from the radio bezel. You will want to wear long sleeves as the opening is sharp.
AutoRestoMod Muscle Car Resto and Modifications i was able to get in there by removing the ashtray assy.
Awesome. That has to be the biggest pain on the whole dash assembly.
The host and producer is Jeff Ford. Also, we don't mind the criticism of the show at all. We've used constructive criticism to improve the show in the past and hope that people will value us enough to let us know what they think. But we won't be removing the comedy; we're just sorry that our comedy and yours don't mate up. Thanks for your opinion Show, and you too Rouges!
very helpful! Thank you
You are welcome!
Honestly Christina, we don't remember. Though we're pretty sure the passenger side panel didn't have any. We love the parts that your company sells and recommend them to anyone doing a classic car. We just recently learned of Morts passing and were saddened by the news. He was a great guy and the hobby lost a great friend in 2012.
Wow, don't let Vinnie see that...Dustin is our jib crane operator and we thought we'd throw him in front of the camera to see how he did. So far, seems pretty positive.
I help installing rear manual windows in a 1968 cougar ... i cant find anything .
Hello - Christina at Burton's Antique Auto Parts! Awesome video! I normally do not get to see that many installs of our parts. I do have a question though. All of our dash kits, 67, 68, with AC or without, all come with their own screws, speed nuts, and our own instructions. Did you not receive those?
Where did you order the dash from ? Mine is warped and cracked
The dash pad is from National Parts Depot: www.npdlink.com/store/catalog/Mustang_Dash_Pads-4956-1.html
Will that instrument cluster fit a 67-68 cougar?
It could. But the Mustang under pad "eyebrows" will be needed. I actually prefer the XR7 dash though.
What do you use to pre thread the dash components
On the passenger side I use the actual nuts. It is just easier to do out of the car.
A Aha! moment. Thank You
I think I've narrowed it to the cluster harness because without it plugged and the headlight switch on the other wires function fine no issues, the only thing different when I restored the factory cluster was I clear coated the back of the metal housing it could be that I'm not getting a good ground. I'm buying a voltage tester and will test tonight. When I tested the lights all the LEDs worked it was only when I moved the cluster and I heard a pop then came the smoke. Thanks!
Yep, that case is the ground for your lights, voltage regulator etc and the case grounds to the dash panel via the screws on the bottom and the screws on the top. Need clean metal on all of the Phillips head dimples and on the lower mounting tabs of the backing plate. You'll need to clean the clear off of the case anywhere anything bolts to that. you might be able to clean the openings as the bulb cleats are your ground source.
Dustin has done more work in one episode than Vinnie has over your entire series. lol
This is the weirdest car video I have ever seen
Im building a 67 mustang fastback myself and really enjoy the videos
LOL The price we pay for doing this at 11:00 at night. Fixed now though!
please give us the info and same the comedy for some other video
We've changed the way we do things, we're on episode 500 now so maybe look at those.
I agree 100%
auytorestomod!!!
i am a new person that just watched o lot of vids never heard you start anything up why?
I know it wasn't your doing. I was actually impressed with their trickery.
+handbanana19 I had to go out and watch the show with my channel turned off to see what you were talking about. It goes away pretty quickly at least. =)
+AutoRestoMod Muscle Car Resto and Modifications Yeah. I shouldn't tried to be less vague. I didn't have a problem with your video or think it was you trying to trick people into subscribing to some safety sign company. Apologies if you took it as an attack.
+handbanana19 * should've
No worries. Thanks for taking the time to respond and clarify! =)
Well, Show that is what makes the world go round isn't it? People have different opinions about what is and isn't funny and how to or not to do things, and how best to inform people. Honestly this stuff can be as boring as a 1940s military training film so we try and infuse a small amount of comedy to lighten it. If you'll notice it is usually in the first 2 minutes of the show. Then we get to the meat.
Annnnd that is good, right? LOL
Nice trick with the skip ad feature being under the subscribe to the channel. Nice f u to the people trying to skip to the video.
+handbanana19 Hopefully you will read this. From Jeff: For one, I can't find what you are talking about, on my end; the Google ads aren't appearing. For two the ONLY outside ads we have are placed four weeks after initial airing so if you want to miss the Google placed ads, subscribe and watch those when we post each Thursday. And finally...Here is my standard speech on this: This is my job. I LOVE what I do. If you work for a living I hope that you enjoy you work as much as I do. Now, imagine going into work six days a week, working an average of 10 hours each day. You work hard every day. You are getting paid, not great but paid by the ads that are at the beginning of your work. Also this work and those ads pay your associates. Now imagine a person comes along and says that they want you to work 10 hours a day six days a week for free. Not sure that folks understand that the ads pay the bills. Now if you want to pay my bills, I'll be more than happy to charge you a fee to send you a personal copy of the show (not to be shown to other people that will cost more) to view privately. So the next time you want to think that I am trying to stick it to you for my hard crafted work, remember that when you skip my ads, you are taking money out of my hard working pockets.
@@AutoRestoMod I hope you read this as well. With your comment, I agreed until you mentioned him paying your bills and the bs that came after. This may be or have been your full time job but that was your choice. No one asked you to do it and it wasn't a job you applied for. The risk is on you and you alone. Now with that said, you have to understand that most people don't want to watch any kind of ads. Some videos are also not worth the time of ads, like this one, and shouldn't be awarded the payment. Why should we have to pay for something we don't like?
I really have a hard time watching this. Too much joking around.
I agree 100%
Too much messing around ... and not funny
+Kevin Tuttle Sorry you feel that way Kevin. That was four years ago, we've changed it up a bit in recent years. Check out the new stuff!
Bring back Vinny! Seriously, lose the bs.
Vinnie will not be back. This video is 85 out of 402...So, yeah, things have changed.
made me not to interested in your vids if you want more people to sub that will help
The texting kid bit isn't your best work. I like your videos, but the texting kid took away from the quality of your content.
Yeah, that stuff is so 10 years ago. We're on episode 520 now...
@@AutoRestoMod Sorry, I guess I should have looked at the video release date.
10 sec into video and Im already annoyed. Just show the work without all the nonsense please.
Well Jordan, we were early days right there. Episode 85. We are now at Episode 494. We learned a few things between here and there.
Hello,
I was interested in learning from your video for our 1967 mustang but your format is very distracting and not comical at all. It is actually annoying. I had to stop watching before you got to any pertinent information to go search for other videos that would be helpful. The texting stunts just don't do it for me, and I have three teens that do not behave like this. It makes the kid appear dumb, and I am sure he is very bright.
Dustin is annoying
Well he left around episode 200 so you can pick it up there. We up to 460 episodes now.
Annoying and not funny
Thanks for the kind words!
