    Dewdrop, your cost of living must be considerably lower down there, up here in New England shop rate is closer to the 100-150 per hour. I wouldn't have a classic anything if I had to pay someone else to build it. I just couldn't afford it. Up here it's much cheaper to buy one already built if...

    Late model Junkyard parts for 66 restoration

    Contrary to popular belief, I was driving those cars when they were new, and they are safe just the way they came out of the factory. However there are a couple of things they have done over the years to improve them greatly. #1) While drum brakes were fine stopping on a nice day, the major...

    1969 428CJ Mach 1 Q Code 4spd (close ratio) w/38k miles

    I owned a q code 69 in the early 70's with an auto and a shaker, the only thing that looks odd to me, and I'm old and forgetful, is the tail pipes, I don't remember the twin pipes. But that could just be my memory.

    restorations shops

    If you don't know enough to do your own restoration , you don't know enough to keep from getting ripped off. And you probably don't know enough to buy a classic already done. If this is the case you should find a local club, talk to the members and see if you can get somebody to help you make...

    1973 mustang rear end swap

    Just a note, don't know your son, but putting posi in a Mustang will make them 180 pretty easily if your a beginner or just not mechanically inclined. Or say he's a "bullet proof teenager". All 3 of my sons hit trees, fences, and signs early on. But "It wasn't their fault".

    1973 mustang rear end swap

    Is there a problem with the 8", or are you just looking for a stouter rear? Any brake setup on a 9" will work with your stang, as for the 9" there are basically 2 different chucks, a 28 spline and a 31 spline, you can use either. Then the only important thing is the width, measure yours then hit...

    71 Mustang Mach1 Fastback AC help

    More than likely, the guy that did it just didn't have a clue. That said, when we were using R12, there were a few very good leak detectors on the market, the one we used at my shop I believe was a A10 GE unit. It was so sensitive you could accidently pick up a leak from the car in the bay next...

    71 Mustang Mach1 Fastback AC help

    I had my shop when they phased out R-12 and forced the R134 on us. There was a :poo:load of mis-information about what you needed and what was suppose to happen. It was expensive to do it "the right way", so if you owned a beater and just wanted a little cold for the summer we would just suck out...

    71 Mustang Mach1 Fastback AC help

    Couple of things, if you don't have a GOOD AC shop look at it you will probably have issues. I owned an AC shop for 20 years, if your seal is leaking that is an easy repair for an AC guy. He'll have to replace the seal, flush the system, replace the receiver dryer and the AC oil and charge the...

    yes they are, I don't remember where they are in your mustang, but it's common to have them in a clip on the lip of the dash where you cant see them. feel around with your hand while they are clicking, you'll find them.

    1965 mustang

    The 351 is taller than a 289 or 302, you may need a different booster/master to clear. Someone should come on that has already done the swap with a suggestion.
