    carpet dye

    Not necessarily Mustang related, but has anyone used carpet dye before? I have a gray carpeted speaker box that I would like to dye black to match my other carpet. There are several different types of dye out there, but I don't which one to choose. Of course, I don't want any color fading or...

    3 point seat belts mounted on roll bar

    As I stated in another thread, I'm finally bringing my '65 home this weekend from my parent's house 2.5 hours away, and I'm really stoked about having my baby back! My problem is that Memphis has a mandatory vehicle inspection that I won't pass currently. The inspection requires seat belts, of...

    towing question

    Next weeekend, I'm planning to go get my '65, which is currently 2.5 hours away at my parents' house. I think I'll just rent one of those towing dollies from Uhaul to pull it behind my truck since it doesn't have a current tag, insurance, etc. My question is: is it is really necessary to...

    Spray on bedliner

    Has anyone used this stuff for anything? Its my understanding that it can be tinted in colors. I had a buddy who considered spraying it on his floor pans in a pro-street/pro-touring '70 Mach and not using carpet. I'm not real keen on the idea of not using carpet, but it might be a good...

    one piece front windows?

    Does anyone know of a company that makes one-piece front windows for a '65-'66 that do away with the vent windows? I've seen this done on numerous street rods as well as on some '67 Camaros, and I think it would really clean up the side profile of the car, particularly with the drip rails...

    Versailles rearend width

    I installed a Versailles rearend underneath my '65 coupe about 8 years ago. My memory may be failing me after all the :cheers: since that time :D , but I seem to recall the mags saying at the time that the Versailles rear was 1/2" narrower on each side than the stock '65 8" rear it replaced...

    Granada/Versailles disk brake questions

    Let me apologize up front for the long post, but I searched the F.A.Q. page and the internet for the questions I am about to pose to no avail (by the way, many of the links on the F.A.Q. page in the talk section are inoperative). I have '78 Granada front disks and '77 Versailles disks on the...

    wheel design effect on braking

    I love the look of TTII wheels like many people on this forum. :nice: However, I also agree with many others who say that too many people are using TTII's and would like to see something a bit different. :shrug: I have had a set of 15x7 and 15x8 Centerline Billet Stars on my car since the...

    full frame replacement for our unibody cars

    Although I got a thorough flaming (3rd degree burns essentially) the last time I brought this up, I am considering a frame upgrade. A modern, full framed car, IMHO, would be a far better platform to begin with than starting with a 40 year old unibody, at least for handling and performance...

    The penultimate of stupid looking Fords

    Let me apologize up front for being off topic, but I had to post this so someone could confirm that I haven't been slipped some acid or whatever new hallucinogens exist out there. In perusing this forum, you will run across some very strange, distasteful ****nit at times. For instance, I...

    I'll try again!!! 5.4 (mod, no 331 pushrod strokers)

    Surely someone on this post has seen a Classic Mustang with a 5.4 mod motor. If not, I want to be the first. I guess, by this post, however, I have just leaked my secret ingredient to the world!! hehe(: Seriously, I am an avid stanger, although I must admit I am a relatively new member of...

    Might as well post something...Has anyone seen a 5.4 4V in an early Mustang?

    I've seen several 4.6 Cobra engines installed in early models, but has anyone seen a 5.4 4V installed? The late model guys are all over this conversion, putting Navigator heads on a 5.4. Of course, that won't be necessary much longer after someone wraps a 450 HP 2006 Shelby Cobra GT 500 around...
