    Keep the fastback or go modern?

    I had the same dillema as a teenager. I wanted better performance, so I bought a new 5.0. I ended up selling my 68. That 5.0 is a distant memory, but I tracked down my 68 and bought it back. I certainly regret it, as the two people that owned in since *trashed* it. I have a lot of work cut...

    need advice on 67 fastback

    I'd let my son do whatever he could afford. :) But I'd make him start with safety upgrades - you've got better brakes, suspension - how about 3 point belts, fuel cell or firewall/tank armor?

    Post your classic stang vids (67 FB vx. 05 rousch inside)

    I guess the video was so popular, he decided to sell it. :) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/31365414_W0QQitemZ4585075143QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Arizen racing seats?

    Anybody tried any of these? http://www.arizenracingsports.com/page/arizen/CTGY/Seats I've been leaning towards the Procar Elites, but I'd like something that has slots for harnesses after I (eventually) put a roll bar in. The Arizen seats look nice, but I haven't found many people using...

    Are composite leaf springs worth it on a street ride?

    I guess they goofed and lost the domain. They're still around, I just received a set of leafs from them a couple of weeks ago. I have their number as 864-261-7006

    Spent my last dollar ever at Jegs.

    I've been in e-commerce for way too many years, and I can tell you - you can't even imagine the amount of fraud out there, and I don't blame *anybody* for refusing to ship you *anything* if it doesn't match a billing address on your credit card. I wouldn't. In fact, when I sell on ebay, I...

    9" rebuilder in Phoenix?

    I've got a fairly tired 9" with leaking axle and pinion seals. I figure if I'm going to get that taken care of, I should rebuild into something that can better handle the additional power I hope to install before TOO long. Anyone have any recommendations for someone in Phoenix that does...

    Mushy power brakes, Arizona Emissions

    I passed I passed. Couldn't take the test the first round through, the rear brakes wouldn't hold the wheels still on the rollers, and apparently they can't do an IDLE test with the car off the rollers. :) One drum is out of spec, we swapped them around and got it to hold, took it back up...

    Mushy power brakes, Arizona Emissions

    There's a pic of my brake booster. I didn't realize there were different ones for disc/drum? The brake pedal stays mushy. I bled them a month or so ago, which firmed them up when the car's not running (and thus not boosted). As to the emissions, I found an implementation schedule that had...

    Mushy power brakes, Arizona Emissions

    Lines seem okay. Brakes are solid as a rock when there's no power assist. :) I'm not moving, the car relocated here from Las Vegas in July - it was never registered in Vegas and isn't registered yet here. I'm in Maricopa like you. I read about the bill on exemption for cars with classic car...

    Mushy power brakes, Arizona Emissions

    First, WOOT! My Stang runs again. I'll post a movie soon. :) Now all I have to do is pass Arizona emissions. Any fellow AZ Mustangers know how difficult this is? Truly amazing that these idiots want testing on a 37 year old car. My first reaction was, holy crap, I forgot how MUSHY the...

    Grant wood wheel install?

    I guess that'll teach me to buy something without asking for opinions on here first. :) I guess I'll start by calling Grant to bitch and play it from there. thanks guys

    Grant wood wheel install?

    It looks basically the same as that, except it has an extra disk that goes on before the fiber disk. How does the horn work in that version? I'm wondering if I should just start dremeling the fiber disk.

    Grant wood wheel install?

    My original steering wheel is long gone, so I figured I'd use the ubiquitus grant wood classic. Everything went fine up to the horn button. The instructions say to push the horn button onto the fiber board piece by lining up the dimples. My dimples don't line up (3 holes, 4 posts?), and the...

    YOU decide how I restore my car!

    That's very subjective, but I wouldn't say it necessarily kills the value. There sure are a lot of restomods bringing good money on ebay these days. I think if you keep it mild and taseful, you can actually enhance the value. As soon as you get wild, you turn off too many people. However...

    Baer Brakes

    I thought I had read a few things about people saying the baer master cylinder wouldn't fit on a car with a power booster and shock towers. Didn't someone say baer told them to take a hammer to their shock tower?

    Disc Brake Conversion ?

    Does Steve's kit work with stock disc brake spindles, or do you need to replace them with drum brake spindles?

    Wow. That's amazing work. You're really setting a bar for the rest of us to try for. :)
