    Anybody in Sherman, TX?

    My father is interested in a Fairlane for sale there and would like to find somebody to go look at it for him. He's willing to pay $100 (or whatever is reasonable). It's located at a legitimate dealer and should be available to be seen during regular business hours. You'd be doing a huge...

    Do 94-98 Mustang air bags interchange?

    It seems most think that they do, however I have heard differing accounts on this subject. Can anybody shed any light on this subject? Any help is appreciated.

    Question on painting engine bay

    I've completely stripped the front of my '65 coupe and have been sanding for a few days. 99% of the engine bay is bare metal but there are still a few nooks and crannies that I can't get to (at least not enough to get all of the paint off). Aside from sand / media blasting, what did you guys...

    Interesting stash of classic cars / parts in Vermont

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170060842285 Unfortunately, I made slightly less than the asking price last year so I don't think I'll be bidding. Either way, what a treat it would be to just take the tour. I always get a kick out of being able to see Joe...

    Opinions on (or alternatives to) POR-15?

    I've completely stripped my car down and sanded / painted the interior / trunk of the car with POR-15. I'm about to begin on the engine bay and the underside of the floor pans. Does anybody have any positive or negative experiences with using POR-15 (POR-15 and / or chassiscoat in this case) on...

    '03 Cobras on '65 Mustang?

    I'm looking to dump my '95 Cobra pretty soon and want to replace the keystones on my '65. I love the '03 Cobra wheels I have on it and was considering narrowing them to 17x7 and 17x8 and putting them on my '65. Here is a very crude photoshop rendering of what it might look like...

    FS: Complete '65 mustang drivetrain

    This motor was in my daily driver for the last 9 months, and the car never seriously misbehaved or broke down on me (except once when I swapped a Holley 1850 in place of the 4100 for a few weeks). The motor does smoke some and there does appear to be some blowby. I would definitely recommend...

    How much is this drivetrain worth?

    I'm planning on a 5.0 / T-5 swap in my '65 coupe fairly soon. The motor could use a rebuild but has given me almost a year of 100% reliable service since I bought the car. It smokes some and does have some blowby. Here is a detailed list of what would be included in the package: 1966 289...

    Bodywork / paint in Louisiana

    Does anybody know of any reputable / reasonable shops in Louisiana? I'm open to shops or individuals with references. I'm not in any huge hurry to have this done, however I do have a touch of rust on the front corners of each of my doors that concerns me and will need attention soon. Any...

    Finally got my '65...

    After 5 years of looking and several botched Ebay deals / scams, I finally found a solid car for a fair price. I finally gave up trying to find something close, and found this listed on the corral in Ft. Lauderdale. The car runs and drives like a dream, and everything (everything!) works on...

    Questions on a '65 Mustang -- Any advice appreciated.
