Finishing Kylee's 1967 Mustang floor patch — picking up where we ran out of adhesive last week, then everything that went wrong from there.
This is the conclusion of the no-weld floor patch we started last week on Kylee's 1967 Mustang. If you missed Part 1, we made the patch, did the prep work, and got partway through panel bonding it with 3M 8115 — then ran out of adhesive on a Saturday when the paint store was closed.
This week we got the adhesive, came in expecting to finish the job in thirty minutes, and ended up spending most of the day on it. Sometimes a simple repair stops being simple. Sometimes a patch you cut a week ago doesn't sit quite right anymore. Sometimes the adhesive cure window is shorter than you remember. Today is all of those things at once.
The video isn't a clean tutorial — it's a real-shop episode where the plan and the work part ways, and you watch me find a path through. If you're a hobbyist working on your own car, this is the version of the work you're more likely to actually experience than the polished "everything goes perfectly" videos most channels post.
By the end, the floor patch is in. Kylee's '67 Mustang has a solid floor for the first time in fifty years. And I walk through what I'd do differently next time.
If you're working on a 1967 or 1968 Mustang (fastback, coupe, or convertible) with floor rot — or any classic Ford or Mercury unibody with similar floor pan issues — the lessons apply.

![Cheap tricks for a Clean Wiring Install on Your Classic Car
Last week we neatened up the charging system and set it up for our CVF Racing serpentine belt system. This week we deal with the leftovers — the wiring somebody else left behind in this engine bay — and turn a tangle of mismatched harness into something that looks like it belongs.
This isnt a jot-and-tittle, every-wire walkthrough. Its the tips and tricks that make the difference: start with a plan, drape and route your wires toward where they actually need to land, and decide up front where things like corrugated loom belong (and where they dont). We work through the American Autowire engine harness, the VSS leads for a future speed-sensor setup, and the runs out to the water temperature and oil pressure senders — leaving access for whatever Kylie may want to add down the road.
Along the way we run into the usual first vexation of any classic-car project: figuring out what the last fellow cobbled together and why. In this case its the wire feeding the start circuit at the starter solenoid — a small thing that tells you everything about how the car was wired before it got here.
What came in as a fifteen-minute, four-bolt transmission job on this 67 Mustang turned into a tour through every system — suspension, transmission, engine, and interior. Kylies ready to drive it, and so are we. It just takes a few more careful tweaks like this one.
Our thanks to National Parts Depot for helping keep these classic Fords on the road. If this helped with your own build, consider supporting the shop through our Patreon — that support goes straight to the kids who turn wrenches with us on Saturdays.

![This is not a Proportioning Valve!
DRUM BRAKES Brake Pressure Differential Valve Explained
If you think that block next to your master cylinder is a proportioning valve or a distribution block… think again. That’s a Brake Pressure Differential Valve, and it’s one of the most misunderstood parts of your brake system.
In this video, we’re busting myths, breaking down how it really works, and explaining the difference between:
• Pressure differential switches vs pressure sensing switches
• Brake warning lights
• Proportioning, metering, and combination valves
This is MUST-KNOW info for anyone working on classic cars, muscle cars, or brake upgrades.
