- My engine compartment wasn't quite measuring right. It was close enough to mount the fenders and the hood, but the fender bolts were way to the edge of the slotted hole and the hood hinges weren't spaced quite right. In this episode I struggle with measuring and moving the shock towers to the right position.
Here's a link to the the a thread in the Vintage Mustangs Forum where there is a picture of the dimensions I referenced:

This is awesome. Really appreciate the details info and pointers you include in all your vids. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Nevermind about my earlier centerline question...saw the video...informative. I am enjoying the process!
Glad the videos are helpful
it is amazing how much of an effect even the smallest adjustment makes. glad you were able to get the measurements within spec. Too be honest it is probably closer now than when it came off the assembly line. I am finding that working on my car they were never meant to be perfect, so they kick and scream as we try and make them better than new. Great job, looks good. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Merry Christmas to you too!!!
Great job and Merry Christmas.
Thanks, you too!
Very interesting. Good job!
Thank you!
Merry Christmas, Look like you got your measurement figured out. Good luck and have a happy New Year!!
Thanks! Happy New Year to you too.
look at rrs they have an all adjustable shock tower brace that will hold your towers secure
Good suggestion. Hopefully others will read this comment and learn about it too. Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the great work and video's. Can you post a link or supply a copy of the front end dimensions you held up in the video, thanks
I put the link in video description. Let me know if there are any other dimensions that I can help with. I was blessed to have a few others help me by providing some dimensions and info. I'm happy to pay it forward.
Getting ready to tackle a 65 mustang. What points are you using to define the car's center line? My car is missing the radiator support.😢. Also, did you level the car initially at the 4 normal jack points? Thanks
Good luck!
Hello, question?
How did you put that cord in the middle of the car?
Not sure exactly what you are talking about. If you mean the string from front to back, I just took a bunch of measurements between the passenger and driver side at a variety of points to dictate where the string went. Then I tied it at the front radiator fram and the rear trunk. I hope that helps.
Thank you helped me a lot
Could you send me this paper with the measurements, or a link where I can find them please?
