New Battery and Mounting Bracket - 1966 Mustang 

Thanks!

We agree!

It's one of those things that's on the list and I hate to leave it until the end.

Thanks!

At 5:44 you referenced ‘putting the bolts back in the bumper we took out’ but I didn’t see that done in the video. I’m thinking that is what is creating the problem re: the bumper bracket not wanting to line up.

@@graesson I believe those first two bolts I took out at the 3:18 mark can be tricky if the nut in the frame is not lined up correctly. You are correct, it looks like I didn't put that part in video where I install those bolts back in. I do recall struggling with them, but it was because the nut in the frame wasn't cooperating. I remember trying to get to that bolt for the tray behind the bumper bracket, but I just couldn't make it happen, that's why I had to take the bumper bolts out.

Thanks for the heads up on the battery tray thing, however, I don't have the coupe anymore, I sold a few years back. :)

Thanks for the quick response ,keep the great videos coming. I can use all the Mustang information I can get.@@AndyKruseChannel

It’s always great to hear about other people’s cars, and the 380HP sounds fun!

Like I was watching you do the battery holder I’m like oh no he’s got another problem it’s like that’s exactly me it’s like every time it looks like something simple it’s like give me a break after break something again or cut myself and like I said I’m waiting on the car it’s going to be shipped next week the person who owned it before or the dealership that owned it before have done something to make the 302 380 or 390 I don’t know exactly what because it’s got stock manifold headers self but I’ve got a bunch of Shelby stuff ordered sequential lights the center consul from CJ pony looks great that I’m getting Thanks for posting how tall are you because I was saw you sitting in the car I hope I’m not all bunched up like that but a friend of mine in high school was 6’4”and he used to have a 65 convertible used to ride around in

@@jatalberg That tray was a pain to remove, thankfully I can carefully edit the video to make it look as easy as it's supposed to be. Only 6 foot, plenty of clearance in the car. It's a good thing these seats essentially sit on the floor or I might have a problem fitting. :)

@@AndyKruseChannel Oh thank you yes I’m 6 foot like I said my buddy had one back in high school which he actually stole and it’s all original he was going to sell to me for 15,000 free shipping but I wanted to say other one I didn’t want to stock mustang needs a little bit of work but the 14 inch steering wheel helped with the clearance thanks

It's great if you are working the front half or back half of the car. If you have to work in the middle, it can be a pain. You cannot enter from the side, you have to come in from the end. Also, more specifically to my '66, the frame rails are more inboard than lifting points of most cars. This causes a problem as the Quickjacks have to sit inboard more, therefore leaving less room in between them. For example, replacing the output shaft seal on the trans is more difficult because of the available room. In that scenario someone is better off using jack stands so they can access the trans area more easily. I've had them for a few years now and they have come in handy quite a few times. They offer roughly 21" of ground clearance, which is quite a bit for most work needed to be done under the car. They take a few minutes to setup (positioning) but are a decent alternative for those that don't have room for a lift. I bought them when they were on sale for $1k, which is about as much as I would pay for something like this.

@@AndyKruseChannel I was thinking about getting one for my uses (including my '68 Mustang), but they seem to have a love it or hate it reputation online. I did see that they make pinch weld blocks for them too, but hard to find anyone who's really using that on classic Mustangs to get a real evaluation from!

CJ Pony Parts. I try to always put the part numbers and places where I purchased the parts in the description for the video. :)

Congrats on the new addition, welcome to the club! One of the cables will go from the battery to the starter solenoid mounted on the passenger inner fender skirt (between the battery and the shock tower). That cable is your positive cable. In the thumbnail for this video, you'll see the red cable on my car going to that solenoid, that's the device you are looking for. :)

@@AndyKruseChannel thank you!! Found out afterwards that the positive and negative markings were hidden under the cables

Interstate, 24F class battery, 700 CCA. :)

Sounds good. What color are you going to paint the car?

@@AndyKruseChannel the car is silver blue but I'm going to paint in dark blue with white stripes. I'll eventually feature it in my channel

@@XSpt1 Dark blue is going to look great!

Ha, it almost sounds like I said that. :)

@@AndyKruseChannel Haha yeah, sorry couldn't resist. I'm changing out my old rusted battery tray on my 66. Greatly appreciate your videos.

Spray what?

De batterij steun beschermen tegen roest

@@franswijnands4022 The new battery tray comes with a black paint coat, so it's protected from rusting. :)

@@AndyKruseChannel mooi ben erg jaloers op je wagen hier in Holland erg duur

@@franswijnands4022 Thanks! They're getting expensive here too. :)
