My wife and I have a running joke when it comes to FedEx. Whenever we see one of their trucks coming up our street we laugh and ask “I wonder who’s getting a damaged package today” We’ve never had any problems with UPS.
You need a “Little Bit” jar on the show. Every time you say “Little Bit”, put a dollar in the jar. On a positive note in about six months, you’ll be able to buy a new Mustang. Wahoo!
Any phrase you use will be said multiple times during your videos just go with what feels right for you I think you are doing a fantastic job at explaining your process of restoring the cars i enjoy watching as far as video length i like the longer versions
Barry, you will be very pleased with NPD. They have been my go to after I got fed up with CJPP having to back order everything. Bottom line, if your not happy with an item they will make it right without making you sit in hold for 2 days and run you up the ladder. Even better, if you have a question regarding fit and quality options prior to an order, they would PREFER you call and the reps will point you in the right direction. I even had the owner reach out to me when there was some uncertainty as to which part was “correct” for my application. As for the wrapping paper, that is one of their signatures and a running dialog on some of the forums, especially over the holidays. What I did find surprising was the lack of a printed catalog in your order. Did you happen to get more than one box in your delivery?
you all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Roberto Clay i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I saw an original ad for the first Mustang, and the white coupe driving had a noticeable issue with the hood curve vs. fender curve. You would have thought they would have done better for first ads with brand new cars. I was glad my '67 had a perfect fender/hood match up with the fender and hood curves and gaps. And as you know, if the hinges are stiff, it is easy to bend those hoods. That Mustangs Unlimited box was opened after packaging for some reason and taped back up. I got a number of boxes from Mustangs Unlimited, and they are always closed with the copper staples and not tape.
Good job Barry. I just got my very first order from NPD today that I will have to send back. Normally, everything is good to go but this time I received quarter window seals and they are over 1 inch too short. Pretty disappointed as I am converting my 73 quarter windows to crank down instead of fixed and wanted to change the seals out today. Oh well, that is what we deal with when using aftermarket available parts. Good luck on Jade.
The hood on my 65 didn’t follow the fender arc either. Laid a 2x4 across the fenders and put a better bend in it. Was scary on a fiberglass hood but makes the fit much better. Good luck. I know you’ll get it straightened out.
The easiest way to adjust a hood is to have someone in the engine compartment with a half inch wrench and give them orders. Missed the live stream... 80* and very nice out and was fitting the new quarter panel.
Was a much happier results at the end of this video compared to last effort. Better parts equal better results but we never know if that aftermarket is a good fit until we go through all the work to install and check.
In my shipping and receiving experience FedEx does bring in more damaged and mangled looking boxes than UPS does. And I've heard that the rollers when they are loading the trucks you could have a small light box on it and behind it comes a much bigger and heavier box and smashes right into it. And with Christmas approaching both FedEx and UPS's trucks are jam packed. Boxes just pushed and jammed in there damaging other boxes. But I agree, NPD's box was much more nicely packaged. Professional.
There are the hinges I am going to order. Thanks again Barry saving me going through all the crap hinges. One trick I would like to pass on is to use a old seat belt and hook onto spring and pull on works really slick to install springs. There is an example on TH-cam of how it is done. Don't change the way you express yourself because someone pointed it out. Say Little bit as much as it takes to explain what you are doing.
At the factory, they would put steel shims under the fender bolts to help align the hood to the fender. I noticed your fender had some waves to it, that might help. Nice hinges!
I've learned a lot watching your videos. They inform me as we as entertain. I am rebuilding a 65 Mustang coupe. It won't be a restoration, but will be functional. I would have done a few things differently had I seen the Mystique videos first. Keep up the good work.
I can agree with you on NPD, my store is about 40 minutes south of me, so its really nice to have them in my back yard so to speek. Some of the items though are higher priced vs the other Mustang suppliers and they are from the same manufacturer as well. And they don't do any specials like CJ's with their RPM points, buy other than that they still get a lot of my business.
We really don't mind your saying " a little bit " because we are here for your presentation and content. For me, It is always an informative, entertaining and interesting experience. But just to mix it up a little bit you may want to try using a smidgen, touch, trace , tad , minute (mynute) , fraction as a replacement. Keep the videos coming and we'll keep watching regardless .
Barry, I'm pretty sure that everyone would agree that the use of ( A little bit ) is not that big of a deal, I mean it's just you being you and that's what we're all here for. So I'm happy with that if a little bit happens to come out no matter when it does. But it's still hilarious you feel the need to catch yourself when using it. For me with the mustang retailer's, I tend to watch for sale items around any holiday and most of the mustang parts retailers will do that. But NPD does a way better job packaging our items more so than CJ or Kentucky mustang. Probably why they get a really good CSR than the others, and NPD is 40 minutes from me so it saves me on truck freight for bigger items.
Hey Barry I had order the rear tail piece and splash guards with all the bolts. FedEx brought mine as well and it appears they threw it over my gate, box was ripped and all the bolts were missing, I assumed they fell out during shipping. I did call cjpony and they are sending the missing parts!
the dynacorn is " a little bit" different then the factory. but the other one is alot different. after looking at the 3 side by side by side. the dynacorn is a better choice great video
I own a motorcycle parts and accessories shop those two boxes are like comparing apples to oranges, the narrow box should not have been loaded on its side. Ive received lots of parts for my 69 FB from CJ and never had anything but great parts never damaged.
I've heard nothing but good about NPD, well maybe the price. I guess you get what you pay for, even if you have to pay a "little bit" more. Thanks for the info Barry, Great video!
in your last video I suggested you go with national parts depot instead of CJ pony parts. This seems to prove what I said is true. If you want to quality, forget about CJ pony parts. The shop doing my car right now is having nothing but problems with poor quality parts and things on back order coming from them. I told the shop owner to go with national parts depot. Suggest you do the same for products in the future.
The dynacorn is a little bit better than the original and the other is a little bit worse by a lota bit....waiting for the "little bit " shirts to come out👍
As someone who has lived and manufactured in Asia I can tell you that the cost difference between good and poor quality parts is less than 5%. Why make junk? I don't get it.
I think that Dynacorn is over priced overated junk. I bought a drivers door and deck lid and never used either. The deck lid was so heavy that the factory rods couldn't overcome the weight but worse than that was the area where the chrome trim bolts to was 1/2" short that I had to add metal for the trim to bolt on. I ended up having better parts shipped from Oregon to Ohio to rehab for use. The door wing vents were so far off that I sent the original parts to get rechromed. Asia made parts are just plain junk. I reworked the hood hinges from my 1971 Mustang rather than get frustrated with junk that was being supplied by dealers.
"Little bit" is a perfectly acceptable phrase! It is more disturbing to the watching the video for you to stop and grumble at yourself every time you say it. I'd much rather you just go ahead and say "little bit" whenever you need to.

Hey Barry go with the " little bit" . Own it and make it your catch phrase. Put it on your t-shirts and coffee mugs. Hahahaha👍🏻👍🏻
I love that idea...Every Mustang Owner needs a little bit of Jo Daddys Garage.
I don't see why not, Arnold Schwarzenegger is famous for (I'll be back)

Nice to see reproduction parts with better quality than the original even for a change
Funny, we just did a comparison on the new AMD Fairlane hinges. LOL

Can't wait till it's painted
Does anyone else use this for a drinking game? Every time he says it....take a drink.

Yeah, a little bit. I don’t even notice you say it until you chuckle. Each time you stop and laugh I think ‘what?’ I think we all say it a little bit.
Those look really good.
Ha...you’re killin’ it. Own it, use it-“a little bit” is yours.
I pretty much order all my stuff from Npd now 👍👍
Hey Barry I had order the rear tail piece and splash guards with all the bolts. FedEx brought mine as well and it appears they threw it over my gate, box was ripped and all the bolts were missing, I assumed they fell out during shipping. I did call cjpony and they are sending the missing parts!
Fedex...sorta delivers...
What a difference between the two what we use to call the one finger test good video thumbs 👍.
Barry I heard west coast cougar has thick quality steel hinges if these don’t pan out.
nice nice.. good fit.
the dynacorn is " a little bit" different then the factory. but the other one is alot different. after looking at the 3 side by side by side. the dynacorn is a better choice
great video

NPD is awesome. Been buying parts for my cars for 30+ years. Very helpful people and their prices are fair.
Barry... Great vid. A scale would be the crème de la crème
Most tv programs were always 30 min. Just saying. Thank you for the video.
With a ton of commercials...
Im trying to figure out if you were more excited about the hinges or the wrapping paper. Haha
I love to recycle...
Also, I noticed you didn't have all your fender bolts in. I know you know this, but that will change things a "little bit".
It will. I also need to relocate some of the holes for the nut plates...unfortunately.

"Little bit" "I'm happy with that" "test fit"
I don't get the little bit thing. Anyone have a link to where this started being an issue?
It's not a big deal. I just caught myself saying it in several of my other videos. No one has complained. It's just me realizing I say it often.
As someone who has lived and manufactured in Asia I can tell you that the cost difference between good and poor quality parts is less than 5%. Why make junk? I don't get it.
Buy Union and USA and you are ussally safe.
front tires are cupped
Just a little...
@@JoDaddysGarage good man!, i loved this video, the way you analyze and explain , very truthful.
