    Help with deep-dish Mach 1 rims please

    Hi all, I have a 1968 coupe that I've been trying to find rims for... and it hasn't been going all that well. Trying to stay away from the typical TT/TT2/Bullitt/Cragar style. However, I do know that IMO 5 spoke rims look better than anything else on a classic 'stang. So what I am now...

    Opinion on engine/trans purchase

    I don't post all that much but I'm always lurking trying to learn. Anyway, there was a poster on another forum that had a "fully built" 302 and a new 4 speed toploader with bellhousing, new clutch, pressure plate, etc. for sale. The engine has less than 100 miles on it and the transmission...

    Opinions needed on Paint ideas

    OK... so hopefully I haven't worn out my welcome with these questions yet, but here's another one. I received a quote for paint to do very good bodywork, prime, and topcoat with a flat-black for $2300. This is for my 1968 Coupe that has a bunch of smaller dents and the typical rust in the...

    Help needed to get the right stance

    I'm taking the car in to get new rear leaf springs soon, and I figured that it would be a good time to address a few other things such as the stance. The first question I have is if it would be a good idea to just replace all the shocks? The front suspension is all new and now I'll have...

    Wanting to add Shelby decklid + endcaps to my '68 Coupe - questions

    I'm taking my car into the shop today to get a quote on bodywork and paint. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm leaning towards getting the work done and leaving the car in primer for now to keep my initial costs down. I can get it sprayed when I get the cash. The plan is to...

    Cracked C4 casing... solution?

    Hi everyone, So... I have a bit of an issue with my transmission. The casing has a small crack in it near one of the bolts, and that is allowing trans fluid to slowly leak out. The transmission isn't in the best of shape, but when there is enough fluid (that hasn't leaked out yet) it...

    Know of any job openings?

    Let me start off by saying that I've been trying to find a job that I enjoy for years now, to no avail. I'm currently working for a friend until at least June, but he isn't sure what is happening with the company after that point so I need to look around. The one thing that I know I enjoy, no...

    Paint Scheme/Stripe questions for 1968 coupe

    Hi guys, I'm currently sitting here at work, trying to convince myself that I'm not actually at work on Good Friday (:nonono: ), and I wanted to see if I could get some opinions on the paint scheme I was thinking of for my 1968 coupe. At first, I wanted to do 1 solid color plus striping of...

    Another engine/trans question

    So it turns out I was too impatient - again. I gave up on my current 289 too soon. I just got it checked out, and the reason that it was weak was that the distributor wasn't advancing the timing at all. Doh! Anyway, I still need to do something with my transmission. I found someone that I...

    Engine and transmission advice needed

    Hi everyone, My Mustang now has new suspension, brakes, and steering. The interior is all coming together and I am looking wayyy down the line at what color I will paint her. However, in the meantime I need to start planning and budgeting for how much to spend on an engine/tranny upgrade...

    Update on my '68 coupe (lots and lots of pics)

    I haven't posted here in a while, but I have gotten some work done on the car. There should be a whole lot more accomplished by this point, but oh well. Work done: Stripped the floor pans to check for rust Applied Zero-rust to floor pans Covered floor pans with 2 layers of SecondSkin...

    How much $$$ for a decent soundsystem?

    Hi guys, I have decided that I'm going to put a sound system in my car pretty soon. I was hoping you guys could let me know how much this might run me (the cost in RED is what I've been quoted for Clarion products): 2x 4" speakers in the dash ($60) 2x 6"x9" speakers in the package tray...

    1993 GT front seats for classic upgrade + 1968 black front buckets

    I have 2 pairs of front seats available for sale. The first pair is out of my current 1968 coupe. They are black and in decent shape. They will need to be recovered down the road as there are a few punctures here and there. They would function fine for a daily driver for the time being. I...

    Best way to mask interior for dash paint?

    Hi guys, I successfully painted my interior rear quarters, glove box, and some of my dash trim. I used the "Easy-off" method, and it worked great! Thanks to the poster who tried it and suggested it. Now... I figure that I have to re-paint the actual dash itself. No reason to have everything...

    Late Model Seat questions...

    Hi guys, I'm still trying to find a good option for replacement front seats for my '68. After listening to the answers on my last post, it seems like my best bet would be to go with some fox-body seats. 94-99 would be alright also, but I'm having more luck finding fox-body ones. I like the...

    Value of a 1971 Mach 1?

    Hey guys, In my now never-ending search for parts, I happened to run across a classic car sales place that had a 1971 Mach1 for sale. I thought it was a good deal, and I was hoping some people would chime in with a rough price range for what the car is worth (in SoCal $$$ if possible). I'll...

    Pics of my new '68 coupe

    Hey guys, Finally got some decent pictures of my new coupe up on photobucket. It's not much to look at right now, but the further I give into this thing the more I realize just how complete it is. All of the electricals work correctly. I'm not missing any parts from the car, and I...

    Hey guys, My car is now up and running strong after switching out the alternator. Now I just need to get a few new gaskets on the transmission pan and power steering units as well as get some front end work. However, I want to be able to drive this car to a shop to get the front end work...

    Need an alternator, will autozone work?

    I was at autozone today, picking up some random things, and I decided to just check if they had any alternators that would work for my '68 289 coupe. It turns out that they have a few alternators that I'd be able to get for $50-60. This is quite a difference in price compared to the $140+...
