    shelby style hood for regular front end

    As far as I know there are only a couple of actual manufacturers of these hoods, all of the vendors buy from them rather than make their own. Fit is generally poor out of the box, these old cars were not very precise to begin with and over the years they've flexed and fenders have moved. Expect...

    installing aluminum dash inserts

    Looks good Zoo! Didn't know he made a 68 version, nice horsey for the high-beam indicator too :D Edit: is that bench seat?

    64.5 Convertible "K" Code

    If it is genuine that may be a conservative estimate. I know the discussions here tend to eschew the originality aspect of classic Mustangs but you might have a real gem there. Keep us posted! Edit to add: Maybe the factoid I (and others) are remembering is that the C-code did not come out...

    installing aluminum dash inserts

    I'll vouch for Burton, he's a great guy. I loaned him some original parts to use as patterns a few years back. Regarding the dash...the plastic portion of the units is different than the camera-case ones. For the deluxe interiors there were small slits cut (molded actually) into the back plate...

    64.5 Convertible "K" Code

    First off, I don't claim to be an expert, but to my knowledge the K codes only came out after the regular 1965 models were out. It is all a very gray area since there was no official 1964.5 model year, they just called the earliest 1965s that. As enferno mentioned, you need to make sure the car...

    Just thought I'd show this

    I've been watching this site for a long time. Thought this might interest the group. http://www.propertyroom.com/itemdetails.aspx?l=4872227

    2005 mustang nose on classic mustang - has it been done?

    I've done the same thing, but the reason you don't see it done is that it would have to pass DOT regulations. I also agree with Reen as to thinking it a silly exercise, to exorcise the classic from a classic, however the same reason you don;t see chrome metal bumpers on SN197s is why you see...

    67 Super Snake Project

    I don't remember...did you use the 2-point Shelby rollbar? Those provide marginal stiffness compared to a 4-point. But you're right about welding them as opposed to bolting them.

    how much power can these bodies handle before you have major problems?

    Listen to this man, a voice of reason and sanity. 400rwhp is so much power it is ridiculous for the street.

    replacing brake lines

    "Brake Check" might be a local chain, no idea really but they're just that...a chain of brake shops. I chose to use them since there's one close to my office, but I have no complaints. Their service was fast, reasonably priced, and their staff was curteous...what more can you ask for?

    replacing brake lines

    The mild steel ones they sell at all the autoparts stores are a cinch to bend using the right tool. I took my lines to Brake Check and they flared them all for me for $10 (make sure your fitting is correct and on the line BEFORE you flare...duh) total. If you use stainless steel lines I suggest...

    94-04 calipers on 67-68

    I purchased a set of MS front brackets VERY early in their production run, wrote/photogrpahed/posted a brief write-up the weekend I installed them and was asked via email and PM many times to provide measurements. I declined all of those requests with the response similar to "if you wanna leech...

    Hybrid Engine in '67 Mustang?

    Oh...I saw "SVO" and thought you meant the turbocharged 4-banger (previous version of SVT)...LOL...guess I'm just old.

    A well written and reasoned response, just what we have come to expect from your membership in our community...and by that I mean the one that is much larger than just this site. Many of us who have been in the hobby for ~25 years know you and respect your contributions. I just wanted to clarify...

    Hybrid Engine in '67 Mustang?

    A couple of things come to mind when reading your post... 1.) Welcome! 2.) If you plan on it taking it ten years it will take 20. 3.) Do not underestimate the cost or scope of ANY restomod project. 4.) Deisel is no more "green" than gasoline. 5.) Deisel is no more economic than gasoline. 6.) If...

    Fresh Engine Start Woes.... GRRRR!

    Are you trying to be sarcastic on purpose or are you just dense from birth? That is not intended as an insult, but after reading your posts in this thread and others over the last few days I really can't tell.
