I like the Lokar e-brake set up and it looks like it will function very nicely. One of my friends installed the same set-up on his 68 Mustang but I don't recall the plumbing of the cables looking as clean as yours. The extra time spent mocking up the e-brake paid off on your car. Nice job!

I also like the bed liner undercoat you used. Now that you have my brain spinning I wouldn't mind using that product on my 66 Fairlane. Out of curiosity, what is the product name and how was it applied to your car?

Thank you,

Mike

Mike,

Thanks for the comments!

The Lokar setup is just about as clean as it gets. My only complaint (as I indicated in the update) is a lack of genuine leverage over the e-brake function due to the handle being so short. If it was about 4" longer, I think it would be perfect. I plan to work on a modified handle setup at a later date.

As for the bedliner coating, we use the U-Pol Raptor sprayable urethane bedliner coating exclusively. It is critical that you first apply a good epoxy primer coat under it or it won't stick properly. For that, we use PPG DPLF-series epoxy primer. Great stuff!

The Raptor is applied using the recommended spray gun from U-POL that screws right on to the bottles of bedliner material. You can alter the texture of the material to your liking by adjusting the pressure at the gun. We run 45psi of "triggered" pressure at the gun for the tighter grain pattern you see.

Here are a few blog posts that might help you in your evaluation of the material and process:

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, it maybe a little too late for me. I used product called Rust Shield which is not an epoxy. However, I am happy with the results.

I use Rust Shield a lot and I love the stuff for protecting inside complex panel assemblies, especially when replacing welded panels like roofs, quarters and cowl enclosures.

I think you're in great shape!

I heard a lot of good things about Rust Shield and preferred to use it over POR15. I like your suggestion on the cowl enclosures. I have to remove my upper cowl panel to repair the lower cowl. I will use the Rust Shied to protect that area as well.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't use POR-15 on the bottom of my garbage can.........

Hi Sven Pruett,

Happy New Year!  Glad you posted an update on your 70 Boss 302 project.  I am really impressed with your work on the tucked rear bumper...very impressive. Your attention to detail and patience is beyond spectacular and the end result clearly shows!  You're far above my capabilities.  Your site and work is really awesome as well as a great how to resource for others.

Guys, if you are tackling your own restoration visit Sven's site for ideas on how to.  I know I grabbed ideas from Sven on my own restoration projects.  Great resource to have.

Mike
