    Weird wiring problem with turn signal indicators (dashboard)

    Many of you know how severely I've modified my car, at least electrically, there's literally no original wiring left, even things like backup lights and turn-signal housings have been replaced. While these new bulbs and housings are OEM style (for example the turn signals in the front valance...

    instructions or checklist for full window install

    Update and question(s)... I got this thin rubbery liner for the spots where the stainless trim attaches itself to the glass like the vent window and the top/rear of the side glass. It is very thin and frankly a little too much so. It is my understanding that the side glass adheres to the...

    1968 Mustang Coupe 17 Inch Rims/tires Question

    I'd definitely ask them what they mean by the comment about "modifications might be necessary", it could just be a disclaimer. These guys sell parts that would fit 90% of the cars out there but after 50+ years and multiple owners and who knows what sort of modifications it is hard for them to...

    instructions or checklist for full window install

    In my searching I've still not found the order in which to install the smaller bits and components. But I was told by two other sources to install vent window 1st, then the side, and the quarter last. At least that answers my question of which goes in first, the rear-run or the division bar :-D

    instructions or checklist for full window install

    My original doors are long gone, and I have a good grasp of what all the parts are and what they do, But I'm convinced there's a better way to assemble than just start everywhere and put stuff in until you are done. Spent some time yesterday using degreaser (couldn't do much with 52 years of...

    DISCOURAGED! Should I replace, keep or give her up???

    Not even close, unless we want to get into specifics :-D So my daily driven '67 vert was parked in 1992 when I moved to the "far suburbs" since the 80 mile per day commute would "kill her". That car did not leave the driveway (under her own power and using the engine/drive-train) until 2017...

    Thanks for letting me join!

    The '69 is why/what/how I fell in love with Mustangs. Over time I leaned more to the '67, but the beauty of the 9 never diminished. Nice car and welcome!

    "eleanore" Shelby Mustang Gt500 1967

    I got a notice over a year ago about a service from my insurance company (Hagerty), where owners of classic/muscle/exotic/super cars could lease their cars out to the public. I do not remember the name (because there's no way in hell I'm leasing my car out to some yahoo...errr...ahem...get off...

    Opinions on motor/transmission combo...

    I think that alone should be "stickied", where's the mod? Seriously though...what if you are a bit scatterbrained and dyslexic like me and want all of the above but in one vehicle?

    Looking For Ideas For My New Milling Machine

    I was going to suggest custom brackets for aftermarket or OEM calipers and someone already suggested that. I could add that one to adapt SN197 (Cobra) calipers and 13" rotors should be good sellers. Regarding custom engraving...how about a set of valve covers with vanity names? EDIT: here's a...

    1968 Wheel Options (styled Steel, Torque Thrust, Mag 500)

    Wheels are one of the most subjective things there are, so what many people like many will hate, more reasons (to me) to just run the ones you like and not care what others say. But you asked... Just my opinion but what makes or breaks a set of wheels is not the style but the size. As Worth...

    instructions or checklist for full window install

    I've found a few videos on youtube, but nothing really good, either they are sitting around telling jokes or the video quality is too low or they just skip over things or leave out details etc. I was hoping someone here has a checklist or to-do article for installing everything inside of an...

    Question about alignment

    Obviously the factory specs are easy to find, but most of the folks here have moved well past factory setup and 14 inch polyglass tires. Anyone have a recommendation for a performance oriented alignment spec? If it matters my car has the following... 225/45-17 rubber Lowered 2" in front KYB...

    Any Of The Old Timers Still Here?

    I'm thinking no, I started to but am too lazy to actually do HTML anymore and my GUI tools are all obsolete so I've been updating the progress (sort of, just realized last update was almost two months ago) of the body and paint on a new site. I've made progress since the last update, will try to...

    Need Help Deciding Type Of Cam To Put In 65 Stang

    Too many follow-up questions needed to give an answer. What are you doing for the final drive (differential)? (will you want or need overdrive) Will >50% of the driving be done at 55mph and above or vice versa? (same as above) Will you drive it in stop-and-go conditions? (rule out a manual...

    9" Rear Ends

    In about the narrower axle housing giving more room for fatter tires, I know you said "more options" not more room but that is what you meant right? The limiting factor of rear tire clearance is the wheel-well itself, two clamshell like parts pinch welded together. Any shorter or longer axle...

    Hydraulic Top Cylinders

    +1 The vendor of the replacements said that they do not rebuild and that the ones they sell are not refurbs so that backs up what you said. I learned to ask, more than once I threw away some bracket or what-not that turned out to be rare or valuable.
