    Convertables & black leather

    I'm debating a new convertable versus coupe. My wife and I seem to prefer black cars with black interriors. I'm leaning towards cloth seats rather than the leather with the convertable choice. I used to own a 66 convertable in high school with a black vinyl interrior. Love the car but knew...

    EXHAUST 78 KING COBRA 351W

    I'm running Hooker 6120's with the car lowered about an inch and have never had clearance problems. I'm not hitting the speed bumps at speed and generally avoid pot holes. I did manage to rub the unibody one time on a hill climb, but had the exhaust tucked up nicely and missed it completely...

    EXHAUST 78 KING COBRA 351W

    Where are they scraping? Where do the tubes run, under the crossmember? Suggestions depend on where the problem is. Dave

    Thermostat housing leak

    So you didn't use anything to seal the screw? And no leaks....right out of the box? Dave

    FMS Thermostat housing

    Before reading this I was thinking about sanding and polishing my stock piece....sounds better all the time. Ironically it leaks and I haven't even started the engine, so if the chrome promotes leakage, I shudder to think of what may happen when theirs pressure. One previous comment...

    Thermostat housing leak

    Any one installed Ford Motorsports 90 degree thermostat housing with the sensor housing screw on the top? Just installed mine and just by filling it it leaks around the screw. I used teflon tape so I assume something else is not quite right. Did these have gaskets for the screw? Dave

    lowering the II rearend

    Let's see: 1.Lowering blocks between the spring and shock plate. 2,.Shorter shackles, but that does alter the geometry of the suspension. 3.Re-arch the springs or ends or both. I've used the first two. Just remember this pushes the tire up in the wheel well so if your backspacing is off...

    QA1 new product announcement

    The announcement made is sound like standard dimension shocks with adjustability, also in Chrome. Web site says it's being updated so I couldn't verify it. Dave

    QA1 new product announcement

    I was reading Mustang Enthusiast February 2006 issue and lo and behold a new product announcement by QA1...Adjustable Mustang II shocks. Yes a publication actually announced a new product specifically for Mustang II's. They even started the announcement "That's right, we said Mustang...

    Who to take it too?

    I imagine both could do the job, but a body shop would be my choice. Either type shop can mess something up just as fix it, so selecting the shop with good trained people will go a long way. Dave

    Maybe you have something there. Ford issuing honarary SVT status to Mustangs selected by Ford. Sort of like have your car selected as an editors choice and featured in a magazine. Knowing your marketing savvy you can spice it up a lot more. Dave

    Cleaning Cobra P by F valve covers

    How do you keep the aluminum "Cobra Powered by Ford" valve covers clean and looking new. I can handle the bare machined part, but what do you use to keep the black from spotting and keep it black? Dave

    Insurance Industry practice

    So what is your basis for the $12 a month. Stated value of the car or do you just have it on your policy? I have a stated value....only reason I think they paid for the hood and cowl replacement when the latch failed. No questions asked and price was in the neighborhood of $5,000 for...

    Insurance Industry practice

    I just recently called my agent to have my Cobra put storeage, removeing all insurace except comprehensive. I’ve been doing this for 20 years. Two days later I got a call to say that they wouldn’t reduce the rate on a stated value or collector policy anymore and I’d have to pay the full amount...

    check out Sal's letter in Mustang Enthusiast

    John has three II's. His 78 from his youth which has been under restoration for several years not. He has a silver 78 King and I believe he picked up a Cobra II about a year ago. Dave

    Rear leaf spring bushings and shackles?

    Yes they are pressed in. Burning works too, but is real messy and smokey. Take you pick. Dave
