    Overhaulin at SEMA

    I saw Courtney while I was at SEMA next to the Meguiars booth. She is taller than I thought, but far hotter than I thought too. She is sooooo much better looking in person--wow!

    69 Upper Ball Joints

    Upper ball joints are very inexpensive, just replace the whole thing. I don't know the specifics of the ones you mention, but no matter what even $45 is inexpensive.

    Repairing cowl from under dash

    Definitely steel. I have my 69 in pieces, so I can measure that one and get an idea if they will be the same.

    Repairing cowl from under dash

    Sorry to hear the fiberglass didn't hold up well--I am one of very few people that actually enjoy working with fiberglass. I'm in a similar situation: My 72 has a leak on the passenger side. I am not aware of cowl repair panels for 71-73's unless earlier ones will work. I don't think mine...

    body work + physical therapy + broken arm = slow progress

    I can only imagine trying to do body work one handed---many years ago I had surgery on my left hand due to an accident while removing a transmission. I ended up replacing an engine and transmission in my car with my right hand only. I had to call for help a few times, but for the most part did...

    Type F, Type FA, Mercon, what fluid?

    I actually found Type F buried in the back of the cases of fluid at a parts store in Orange, CA today, so I quickly bought it. They had FA and F, but as they were the same price, I bought the Type F. I had thought FA was the replacement for F, but doesn't matter for the time being. Thanks...

    Type F, Type FA, Mercon, what fluid?

    It has been a loooong time since I had a Mustang with an Automatic transmission. Back when I and my Mustangs were younger, you could go to the store, almost any store, and buy Type F fluid. After shopping high and low, all I have found locally is Type FA. Is that good enough for my 72 Mach...

    Mustangs at the Queen Mary

    I never really understood buying a new car then taking it to a car show. I once took my 96 Cobra to a show and parked it next to 4 nearly identical cars. Somehow, one of those other cars was "nicer" than mine and won first place. Hmmmm, they are identical, and mine had 1/4 the mileage of all...

    Help

    Do you know the history of this motor--could it have a cam with a 302 firing order? If the cam was ever swapped, that could be possible. Otherwise, the distributor off a tooth, timing chain jumped, or???

    False Advertising in The Pipple's Rebublik of Kalifornia!

    My favorite is Avenue of the Giants---well worth the drive through LA and SFO and all points between and north to get there! "Wow" does not cover the experience. Tahoe/Auburn/Grass Valley don't suck either!

    False Advertising in The Pipple's Rebublik of Kalifornia!

    I haven't done any scouting since I was a teenager. My boys are a few years away from that (2 and 4 years). It will be a while before any of my Clevelands are roaming much more than my garage. Two of them are out on stands and the one that actually in a car (my 72) is going to come out...

    False Advertising in The Pipple's Rebublik of Kalifornia!

    To add insult to injury, half the "forests" in California don't even have trees.

    Ditto on the screwdriver--I have even used a hammer to tap the screwdriver in further to hold the bolt up into place so I could loosen the nut.

    Car weight with aluminum block.

    Yes, the 2 extra quarts of oil! Bingo! Would have been interesting (but not practical) to weigh everything you took off, then weigh everything you put back on. Still, under 3,000 lbs isn't bad. Some of these cars are well over 3,500 with the options and accessories and you still have many...
