Re: Dynamic Stang
so I have done a fair bit of work on the car and is now almost stripped bare (front and rear windows, body clips to be removed)
Struggled to figure out the headlight switch as i was being stubborn and refused to look it up but ended up checking mikes build which had a great picture to aid with this! also struggled with the crappy handbrake cable feeding it through the back of the drum while pushing in the claw clips holding it in place. Again had to do some research and figured it out relatively quickly
Tried using a conventional spring compressor but wont fit so I remember reading mikes thread and how he did it, using a similar approach minus a piece of wood
bought a set of 4 wheel dollys from ebay for $207 delivered which I thought was great considering they are $300 a set+ from repco. These will be used to manouver the car around once i attach the new wheel mounts thanks to my Dad sourcing me parts and doing all the fabricating for me might still need to get those spare hubs of you suspect! thats it for now, moving all my parts into the new shed we built, then remove the glass and leave the car sitting for a while as I have another car project soon to be unveiled here

Re: Dynamic Stang
thanks nassi, only wish I had a slightly larger area to work but it will have to do!
also found out Mike was right about the bullet being a blank, I was thinking of hollow point bullets
