I need some advice from you guys. Maybe even some affirmations and other sob stories, who knows! It's a long story, but it's straight from the heart... ;) I always loved classic cars. My dad was a mechanic and I would sit behind the wheel of his 1965 Buick Special (it's long gone now) and...

Finally getting back into restoring my 67 coupe. The last time I drove it. I stopped @ my mom's house. When I was leaving her house, the car had no power and never started again. I do remember that it had a little difficulty starting up before I left for her house. I just figured it was sitting...

I have been getting a lot of conflicting advice on whether to do body and paint, or mechanical work first. I have basically five stages I have come up with. What should go first? Body and paint (including interior sheetmetal) Interior Mechanical Electrical Weatherstripping and accents Paint...

I tried to start my car the other day, and it kept clicking. I though maybe a lose cable. Got under the car, tightened the starter cable, everything started. The next day, it did it again. Tried to start a couple times. Battery died. This time, I connected jumper cables to my car, and it started...

Okay, after a year of sitting, I finally got my car started again and driving. I finished the breaks and was itching to get her on the road (impatience). I had prblems starting the car. I kept hearing a constant grinding sound, like the battery was too low to brank the car. Then I thought the...

Hey guys. Now I have a little garage of my own, so I continue with my baby. I just finished putting in the rear end, fuel tank, rear brake lines, and new master cylinder ans reservoir. Maybe from sitting, or maybe getting wet from the outsude weather, but I think the starter went bad. However...

I need to buy the rear end brakelines for the rear end I have recently installed in my 67. I was told that I can buy the steel lines from a local auto part store. Seeing that they are not pre-bent, I understand that I will need to bend them to fit. What kind of tool do I need to bend the brake...

How difficult is it to replace a passenger side floor pan on your own, considering that you have never done body work before? Does it truly take know-how, or more like pateince? Any advice???:rolleyes:

I am looking to purchase a carb that had good performance, but not necessarily a racing carb; something with a good mixture of tunibility, performance, and ease of use. Any ideas? I have a 302 that I plan on buy a 4B intake soon. That's another decision, the intake. Any good combinations???:D

I am considering purchasing a disc brake set for my rear brakes. I am getting ready to re-install my drum brakes stuff. Is this a better route? What else will I need with this Ebay item? Here is the link. Let me know, because I am really contemplating this purchase. I am not going to be racing...

I am need to purchase brakelines for my 67 mustang. I just replaced the rear end with an 8" (i know, don't laugh!) for my i-6 to v-8 project. Do I HAVE to buy these from the catalogs or can I buy them from a local auto parts store?:shrug: At least if it's the wrong size, I can easily return...

I am having a difficult time making a tough decision. I have about $2000 I saved to from tax return and extra hours working. I have a 67 coupe whose body is in decent condition. It needs a passenger side floorpan and a left side trunk panel. That is the only rust there. It runs, but needs some...

I am looking at purchasing a 1995 gt convertible this week. I looked up the vin on Carfax, and everything looks to be okay. However, when I tried to decode the vin#, it shows an engine code "T". I thought i should be "E" being a GT, but, it shows T! Any ideas would be great. Thanks:shrug:

Okay, time to show my newbieness. How do I know if it is 10 1/2 or 10 3/4?What rear drum brake kits do I need to buy for rear drum brakes? I have the drum and backing plates. Now what? I know I need the wheel cylinders, pads, and spring kit (hardware kit I believe). Is there some way to buy it...

ooookay! Now that I have disconnected almost everything, I just need one more thing. I did not foresee the parking brake thing, so what is the best way to remove it? Do I need to take apart the drum brake assembly so that I release the cable? Is there an easier way to disconnect them? I just...

2 Barrel vs. 4 Barrel I am going to get to this junction very soon. I currently have a 2 barrel carb and intake. I want to build for some more power and get-up, but I am not racing or going to the track. Just something that will move if I have to punch it. However, I want to do halfway decent...

I have finally done something I planned on doing (rather than just saying it). I created a rather basic website for stuff I like, Classic mustangs included. I have looked at other classic mustang sites, and decided what I liked and what I thought was lacking. I plan on making a website...

I have been trying to identify my rear end without having to tear it apart. From what I see, it is probably not a 9" because there is no hump in the center section. The identifying numbers and tags are gone or worn away. Does anyone know what were the rearend options on a 67 GT???:shrug:

Does anyone have any advice they can give me about removing my rear end? It is a 67 mustang with an original 6-cylinder rear end. I seem to be having a difficult time unbolting the rearend from the leaf springs. I do not know if it is just rusted nuts, or if I have not lifted the rear end enough...
