 Wait until the wiring harness is installed and the car is running before you cover the harness up with a
nice wrapping of electrical tape. If it's dirty, wipe it off gently with a moist (not wet) rag.
 Use common sense when cleaning these parts; don't use a wire wheel on a drill close to any wires or
lines. Keep solvents away from rubber lines/hoses.
 After cleaning the engine, replace the spark plugs. When removing the plugs, look for oil on them or
if they look burned. If you have any doubts, ask a mechanic or a good auto parts store what the
condition of the spark plug reveals about the engine's performance. When replacing the spark plugs,
make sure you gap them before installing them.

Not using a donor

Many people will build this car without using a Mustang donor car. That is, they will want to use a
combination of new and used parts from a variety of sources. Use your best judgment when buying new
parts. Some of these parts, such as the pedal box and upper steering shaft do not get a lot of wear and
are quite expensive when purchased new. These can be easily sourced from a salvage yard.
Read the appendix carefully to determine what you'll need to get.
Read the Performance parts section for ideas and places to get parts.
