Hi guys...im baaaaack. After a year of being mustang-less (selling my 67 black beauty) I may be getting back up on the horse so to speak. I really never thought of owning a convertible anything, just not my cup of tea, plus we just really don't have the weather for it in Louisiana, it's always...

Well guys its been real and its been fun...but a man made me an offer i couldnt refuse on my mustang today. I bid it farewell this week. I want to thank all of you for your help and maybe i will find myseld in another mustang soon...but who knows...im actually on the hunt for my fathers original...

I took my car out for its longest drive yesterday, nearly 300 miles on the hottest day of the year so far in the southern delta heat. The car did fantastic, cruised around and it stayed around 185, would bump up to 190 in town....until I got stuck in a wreck with no turning back. I sat there for...

I need some quick help. I may have found some 289 hipo heads (so claims the seller) for 150 bucks complete. He told me they had screw in studs and hasnt answered me back yet if there are one or two dots above the 289 that is cast into the top. I know there are other differences.like the cupped...

Hi all, I have a pretty much stock 289 c code in my 67 coupe. When I got the car the engine ran too good and did not smoke for me to mess with it, so I simply did a mild tear down and put in some new gaskets. Money was a HUGE issue at the time and just didn't have it to spend on the motor. It...

I really would like to upgrade my door locks to power/keyless entry, mainly for the sake of not getting a key anywhere near my shiny new black paint, also for convenience. Probably go ahead and put an actuator on the trunk as well. I want something that works and not something cheap that will...

I have a factory style thompson pump on my 67 coupe. I have replaced the control valve, all the hoses, and got a remanufactured pump and a new slave cylinder. It's even filled with the correct Type F fluid. It all works like its supposed to, but sometimes it has a fit and pukes fluid out of the...

I have been gone waaaaaaay too long. I have been enjoying my car instead of workin on it. Until about 3 weeks ago, I developed a nasty transmission leak. I finally got under there and glued up the pan really good, got her fixed up. Also cut 1/3 of a coil of my springs to get that nose down to...

I have had voltage regulator issues from the start, I bought a repop old school regulator and watched my needles jump for a couple of weeks before that one broke. I decided to get an electronic one (one of those off of ebay...modern voltage regulator) for 30 bucks. It came in the other day, I...

I have been driving my 67 around for the past couple of months since I got it all back on the road and I didn't spend any time and or money on the steering box (I had plans to put either a borgeson or a rack under it) But my funds have dwindled as they tend to do and I have a good bit of slack...

Hi guys, its been a while, I have been out enjoying my car since I got it finished this past winter and while doing the "shakedown" period I noticed a tuning issue I am having troubles with. I am in no ways a good carburetor guy, but I'm hoping you can help me out there. I have a 67 coupe with a...

Alright, I know some of you have heard of putting pepper in a radiator to repair a small leak. Well, I had a small leak...but not in the radiator, in the gasket between the timing cover and the block and it would pool up about an ounce of water over a week...not really a bad leak more of a seep...

I need a good metal on metal adhesive. I have seen the 3m stuff, but you have to have a special applicator for it to work. How about JB weld? I have a hole underneath my dash and I really dont want to weld it up (I have the entire interior in the car, looks like where someone used a 1.5" hole...

So I was in wally world the other day and saw this 3M scratch removal kits, comes with 2 buff pads and 2 pouches of compound and it costs 19.95. A couple months ago I was backing out of my granny's driveway and unbeknownst to me her fig tree limb put a nice long scratch all the way down the...

I have looked on the web for this and I cannot find the answer im looking for. I can find info for the 289 GT but not for the 2bbl 289. Id like to know what a factory 289 c code automatic with the 2.79 gears would/should run in the 1/4. From what I read the GT ran around a 15.5 give or take a...

Alright radio gurus...my radio buzzes when the engine is running, driving me nutz. Before I spend the money and wreck my back laying beneath my dash, do those inline RFI noise filters actually work? If so any suggestions on brand, specs, whatnot? Thanks.

So, any of you guys out there interested in a group purchase with Borgeson, I am trying to work out the details, but before I get too deep in it, just wanted to get a feel for what you guys think. How many interested and what kind of discount are you looking for?

Well 2 and a half years of greasy fingernails and dipping into my sons college fund (jk) and the car is finally (we know its never "finished") done. here are a couple of pics. A lot of you were wondering what a shaved cowl finished out looks like, Ill post a pic of that. [/url][/IMG] Here...

Well, got my car all put back together and took it for its maiden voyage today, only to realize that my leaf springs are just slap wore out. I knew they were tired...but i liked the way the car was sitting, i lowered the front to match, but unfortunately when I crossed a bridge or hit a big...

Ok, I just got my 67 coupe all put back together last weekend, new paint, weatherstrip, interior, the works.....we got a little rain last night and my car was sitting on the trailer still, but i go outside and my drivers front floorpan is soaked and my passenger rear floorpan is soaked. I...
