Under Dash Picture Dump - 69
« on: October 23, 2021, 06:54:39 PM »
As requested in the Under Dash Picture Dump - 68 SJ thread here are some pictures of under, behind and "above" the dash area on 69 Mustangs & Shelby's. Easy to see that many are of unrestored cars and not really taken to show all the details we would like but not much room behind or below to get pictures of some difficult areas. There are a few pictures of examples taken during a restoration that I thought might help also so in this rare case, for me, I included them

Will do these in group sin a few individual posts not that I think it will make allot of difference in the long run. I was surprised that I could find this many so hope one or more provide a detail your looking for

Let's start with firewalls and the basics. Remember pictures include both AC and non-AC examples plus there are cars with and without tilts represented also

____________________________________________________________

UD-1 Just a pretty bare firewall and dash area




UD-2 One that was stripped and primered with a couple of parts attached  in their place




UD-3 Interesting find on a 69 Dearborn car like what can be found on 67 and 68's some edge protection was installed behind the gauge cluster area. Have not found this at other plants or cars as well in other pictures I have or are posted here.  Including it to see if this is a one off or others have found the same. If so we would be interested in when and where the car was built of course :)

With Firewall pad in place

UD-4 Mid year Dearborn




UD-5




UD-6




UD-7 Couple from a San Jose car with the additional Mach I and Grande insulation remains




UD-8




UD-9 From a restored example with the obvious reproduction firewall pad




UD-10 Paint mark on a Power disc brake manual transmission pedal assembly

More  ;)

UD-11 Back side of the removalable lower dash. Much much easier to work on it this way. Built a stand for this purpose for a restoration about ten years ago. Though I apparently didn't use it for the rebuild shown below for some reason  ::)  In any case some of the wire wrap was likely removed after it started to unwrap




UD-12




UD-13




UD-14

So next the E Brake pedal area

Jeff,

   Much appreciated, if you find any others dealing with the under dash and tilt wheel, let us know.
