    Mustang II popularity

    I'm not doubting anyone knowing the different weights of the cars, but I am trying to make sense of it and I can't figure it out. Typically in the other model mustangs (65-70, fox) I always thought the coupe was lighter than the fastback. I guess that would explain why Shelby only used the...

    Anybody see this one?

    I was looking on ebay and there is an awesome looking 78' fastback listed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6236&item=4547183932&rd=1 I wish I had 11k! 11.5 x 26 ET drag slicks don't look too bad either. Has anybody seen this car before? :drool:

    Mustang II popularity

    IMO I have found many Mustang enthusiasts don't and most are very receptive to them once they see a few nice II's in person. It seems that there are alot out there especially younger ones who only know what they have read and what they hear from others. This stuff gets the parrot effect and...

    MT Sportsman Pro tires feel....

    There is only about 1/4" between the bar and the leaf with the snubbers removed so I think it's time for new leaf springs. One step forward, two steps back. I'm just glad I didn't break anything. Any tips on what I might do while rebuilding my rear suspension would be greatly appreciated...

    MT Sportsman Pro tires feel....

    Problem solved. I took the nubs off of the traction bars for a test and it does straight lines great now with no control issues. The rear end dropped nearly an inch and it was binding the suspension. Just need to trim the nubs way down and re-install them.

    MT Sportsman Pro tires feel....

    My alignment is right on, maybe I need to work on getting the back of my car down a little lower to lower the center of gravity? My recently installed Stumpy traction bars are preventing my leaf springs from fully relaxing as they not only make contact, but are a little tight holding the rear...

    MT Sportsman Pro tires feel....

    I just installed some 26x10.5x26 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro's and they sure do drift alot even with max pressure of 30 psi. I don't expect them to ride like steel belted radials, but it feels like I am loosing control even at 70 mph and starts getting squarally. With the radials I had the...

    Sorry, I am at work and can't get to my pictures either! And I am logged in. :mad: I will have to e-mail them to you when I get home this evening. Anybody know how to get a direct URL for a picture in a *&%^&& Yahoo briefcase? I have only driven it about 15 miles since the...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    OK, this Yahoo BS is really pissing me off. What ever happened to the good old days when you just FTP your pictures to your webspace and create a link because all you needed to know is the file name. Instead these jackoffs give you a stupid photo album and no obvious way to get a URL for a...

    Mustang II HEADERS ??

    Blackjacks have been obsolete for some time now and I heard they were bought out by Dynomax a long time ago. I also heard that Dynomax stopped making them. I had a set of these in my first II with a C4 setup and they fit great. I do remember the drivers side header pointed in a funny...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    I will take back what I said about thinking 4" of backspacing would be better than 4.5". The extra space on the outside was really an illussion as there would not be much room left if my suspension was more relaxed or when I hit a bump. At any rate I think this is about as much as you can stuff...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    I just could not wait any longer to put some sticky meats on so I went down and got some Mickey Thompson Sportman Pro 10.5 x 15 x 26. They fit great, no rubs, No rolled lips, and no hammer required. I am really liking the 15 x 8's with 4.5" backspace. I will try and get a picture posted.

    Mustang II Member's rides

    I used POR (this is the brand) aluminium Exhaust manifold coating after a good sandblasting and wipe down appling it with a paint brush. It was around $35 (with shipping) for a small can that was just enough for two headers.

    Not much new to report here other than traction bars and frame connectors by Stumpy, nearly ten year old paint, and an engine bay that has been done for two years now. The home done header coating is still holding up great.

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    I picked up a used set of Weld's for the back (directly from a Fox body :rlaugh: ). They are 15 x 8 with 4.5" of backspacing. The tires are 245/60/R15. No rubbing. There is more usable space on the outsides than on the insides (IMO 4" of backspacing would be optimal), but it looks like I...

    Header Headaches

    There really is no such animal. I've tried just about everything out there possible to put on a header short of having them sent out for the 'real deal' coatings. That 1500* is a total joke. The second you run down the freeway (constant hot temp) or run it a bit too lean, pfffttttt..... there...

    Has anyone used the Koni SPA1 shocks on their car?

    Cool, thanks for the reply. If you buy them be sure to post back what you think. Does anyone make a drag shock that will fit the back of a II?

    Has anyone used the Koni SPA1 shocks on their car?

    Sorry, Never used those shocks, but noticed that they "are not for highway" use" along with other drag shocks and I was curious as to why?
