    Ignition lock

    I have a 2004 Mustang that I need to remove the ignition lock from the steering column so I can take it to a locksmith and get a key cut for it. I removed the air bag and steering wheel, but ran across a black plastic disc that covers the ignition lock. Does anyone know how to remove this disc...

    Lizard Skin (maybe?)

    I wanted to create a sound deadener and insulating layer for my 65 Mustang, so I created my own insulating paint by mixing microspheres with latex paint (similar to Lizard Skin) I put it on pretty thick, so it took a while to cure completely. I am very satisfied with it except you can scrape it...

    3650 Transmission support

    I have a 65 Mustang shell that is mostly rust free, and a rusty 65 donor car with no engine or transmission. I plan to install a 4.6 and 3650 transmission in the shell. There is some rust through under the passenger seat support so I will be removing it to repair the rust. Since I will have to...

    C4 fluid leak

    My 64 1/2 convertable has a fluid leak that is coming out around the transmission gear selector shaft. It seems that after you shut off the engine the fluid drains back out of the converter into the transmission. This raises the fluid level above the selector shaft, and that is when it starts to...

    Cowl Vent Repair

    I bought a 65 Mustang fastback rolling chassis a few years ago with the idea of building a restomod. I just bought a 66 Mustang coupe with a rusted out roof, trunk, and floors to use as a donor car for some of the parts (fenders, front and rear vavence, headlight buckets, bumper brackets, wire...

    T5 jumps out of second gear

    I just put a never installed heavy duty T5Z in my Mustang last month. It seemed fine for the first 600 miles or so. Last week I did a downshift from 3rd to 2nd at about 35 MPH and it jumped out of 2nd. Ever since then It will jump out of 2nd most of the time on a downshift, but only on a...

    69 mustang

    I am hoping to buy a 69 convertable that I discovered recently, and am not sure what is a fair price to offer for it. The body is straight with very little rust except for the rear floors. It originally was a 302 with a C4. It has been sitting in the owner's garage for the last couple of...

    65 Stang gear whine

    I have a 3.00 8" rear in my 65 fastback that makes some noise between 35 and 55 mph under a load. When coasting or decelerating it is absolutely quiet. My guess is that the pinion bearings are bad. I am considering replacing both the pinion and side bearings and setting up the rear end again. My...

    Explorer rear into 65 stang

    I am thinking about installing a 96 Explorer 8.8 rear into my 65 Fastback. I have heard that if you have 2 7/8 inches removed off the driver side axle tube it will center the pumpkin and you can use 2 passenger side axles in the rear end. I'm guessing I will have to relocate the spring perches...
