    O/T Ticket Woo!!!

    I had the cop who said "well I pulled YOU over because you were the one speeding that was driving a Mustang" when there were about 10 other cars going the same speed in the same line. Hey isn't that discrimination??? :nonono: Then there was the cop who said "nice Mustang, but you shouldn't...

    So I turned 40 today, is something supposed to get better now? :D

    I turned 40 a month and a half ago---and I will tell you it is great. My car insurance went down, the sex is better, no more studying for school, I can get into the bars...err no wait, that all happened when I turned 25. Forty sucks because I'm loosing my mind now. :rolleyes: I do have to...

    For those that read Mustang Monthly..

    My favorite Mustang Monthly tech article was 5 years ago or so when the complete door shells for 65-66's first were introduced. MM did a great article on how to install the window, regulator, door latch, etc. What they failed to do was actually put it on a car and see if it fit or...

    Are you sure it isn't playing double duty as a curb feeler?

    72 pantera

    What is the property worth? Is it swampland? :rlaugh: You can buy a complete, running Pantera for between $25K and $35K all day long. That one needs work to be complete and running. The work complete so far looks fairly nice, but it is not done. I would put it on the low end of the...

    Need Help Locating Timing Cover

    I have a buddy that has a 66 Tiger who has one he will sell. It isn't perfect either, he said it has been welded and that the welds are fine. It also has JB weld on part of it that has been covered by Glyptol (an internal engine sealant). He wants $50 for it--PM if interested and I will put...

    Shelby drop and Springs?!

    I had this question too about doing both the springs and the Shelby 1" control arm relo, but am surprised to hear that the Shelby drop of 1" does not give 1" of measured ride height drop. Anyone else want to weigh in to confirm this?

    BARF!

    At least he appears to be an honest seller--there were plenty of pictures showing the panel alignment issues. He could have just used the blurry 20 footers and called it good. I do like the Couger lights, but the rest of it, well.....no comment.

    My first website - Mustang oriented of course!

    Thanks for the kind words. I think it is pretty basic--wish I could put some color and buttons into it, but that was a software limitation. As for what software it is, I am not really sure--it is whatever my internet provider has on-line that I could use and may just be something they put...

    My first website - Mustang oriented of course!

    I created my first web site--lots of Mustangs I have owned and their history. I had to work within the limitations of the software I used, but its a start. I still need to resize some images to get it to load faster. There are two pages, the main page and the 1973 Mustang page. A 1969...

    Looking to buy a '65 Stang

    You don't mention where you live. If you are in Southern California the Pomona Swap meet usually has a good variety. There had to be at least ten 65-66 coupes to choose from at the last one (last Sunday). The next one is on March 4. Go to pomonaswapmeet.com for dates. If you live...

    security for your daily driver

    Back in the 80s and early 90s when my '69 was my daily driver, I had a crude, simple means of locking the hood shut that required a key. This helped to keep my shaker from going places I didn't want it to. For the whole car, my other means of protection I used were: the Club (may not be...

    Door Ident Plate Clean Up

    I have a similar, but not as severe situation with my car. Mine has some primer on it--I plan to try to clean it with a q-tip and some lacquer thinner as the primer is lacquer based. I don't have a great solution for your paint removal, but one piece of advice I do have is not to drill out the...

    What 4-speed is this?

    THe 64 1/2 I restored a few years ago had a toploader with "reverse up" or forward. By the 65 model year this had changed to the traditional reverse down position. Sunbeam Tigers also had the reverse up shift pattern. I see two possible scenarios that could explain your situation if you have...

    Anyone have or heard of B-Quiet insulation?

    Is it significantly cheaper or something? Where do you get it?
