    cost for a 6 cylinder to 8 conversion

    I agree with 57 fairlane. That is the path I have already taken with my 67 fastback. I also acquired a 6 cyl. 69 fastback for $800 to do the same. I really can't see cutting up a valuable car. The way I see it, once a car goes under the knife for heavy mods, it become equal to any other car with...

    preference on sheetmetal

    I think I am going to just bite the bullet and get new rear full quaters along with a new cowl vent panel. I realize there are numerous venders, but who would you guys buy from? Also, are Ford tooling worth the extra money. Because if so, I would like to prevent as little money as possible going...

    flush windshield

    I have been looking around on the site to see if anyone has a write up on flush mounting windshield and rear glass on a mustang but I'm having no luck. Anyone have anything they can post? And to the guys who have done this, do you have anything negative to say about this mod?

    Roll Cage

    Might want to check out the June 2006 issue of Super Rod magazine. There is a 65 coupe wearing some serious meats that has a nice cage install. Also this link might help http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2316745

    custom vintage interior

    Does anyone have any pics of some cool vintage custom interiors? I have some ideas, but would like to know what else is out there. Not the traditional mustang dash, but something fabricated from sheetmetal, with simple classic gauges, and clean lines. Also looking for unique door panels...

    smooth drip rail

    I may need that extra set of eyes. You should thank me for looking so ignorant on the matter. :bang: Thanks for all the pictures. All the cars I have seen had everything removed. If I'm going to go as far as removing the rails, the hump is going as well. Just when you thought I was through...

    smooth drip rail

    I hate to keep asking all these repetitive questions, but this is still bugging the crap out of me. When you say that the humps stay, you are meaning that they are not cut off. But seriously, I do not see how these are not at least ground down or something. Can't find a good close up example...

    smooth drip rail

    Thanks for all the info. Started trying to cut one side off using my cut off wheel, but thinking of borrowing a saw saw. Cut off wheel wasn't working too good.

    smooth drip rail

    I have welded panels before. I may be missing something here. I realize that when I cut the drip rail off there will be several body panels which are crimped together. I will take my time and weld it up. Grind down and try to use little bondo. But, I still need to know if this hump stay or...

    smooth drip rail

    That is what I figured. Basically I need to use the lower edge of the hump as a cutting guide while on the top portion and blend close to the body when I get to the sides. Once finished welding it up, what do I need to do with the small depression just before the hump. Use a little filler to...

    smooth drip rail

    Got another drip rail removal question for you veterans. Before I start on my 67 fastback, I'm a little confused where my cut should be in relation to the small hump above the drip rail. The small ridge is just on the top portion of the window. Should I cut above the ridge, or below it? If I...

    attempt to smooth eng. bay

    Man you have been busy with that thing. It's looking great. On the firewall piece that you installed to achiece the smooth look, was that new panel butt welded in place? If not could you give a little more detail. Also, since you smoothed the firewall, are you going to smooth out the factory...

    attempt to smooth eng. bay

    Okay, to those that are in the mood to give free advise this morning. I guess my options are to dolly it out straight, replace just the upper section some how, or to just replace both the front and rear inner panel. Which ever I choose, I want to insure the fenders have plenty of...

    attempt to smooth eng. bay

    clean engine bays Hey, I realize that the slats are for structural purposed. I am thinking of just cutting metal that will fit inside and weld it up flush. Not cut the oval portion out and install a new flush piece by butt welding it into place. Anyway, I am less bugged by the oval stampings...

    attempt to smooth eng. bay

    I would like to start cleaning up my engine bay on my 67. What is the most sensible way to clean up the inner panels/firewall. I can't totally smooth inner panels because the shock towers must remain. The top portion of the inner panels where the fenders sit onthe inside of the car are a...
