    Californa Special deck lid

    Bought it off a guy in Chico about 4-5 years ago and I've been working on it off and on ever since. Couple more years and I think I might actually finish everything I want to do :D

    Opinions & thoughts on mustang trim & the shaving of it.

    I wouldn't worry about whether or not people know it's a V8. Get a nice exhaust and there will be no mistaking that rumble :nice:

    Power Brakes vs. Manual which do you perfer

    I have manual brakes, the SSBC 11" slotted rotor kit on the front and stock drums in the back, 225/15/60s all around. I've practiced threshold breaking in the car (gotta make sure the brakes work :D ) and I don't have any problems maxing the available traction on the tires. My only complaint...

    should i buy a classic

    Also consider that a 35yro car may very well be a tad... tempermental at times. I drove my '68 on my daily commute for the first three years I owned it. I've never had anything major break, but small stuff tends to go out on a fairly regular basis if you're putting that many miles on an old...

    shop to watch out for

    You know, I often think to myself 'luckily I don't have to live in Texas' :lol: :D Seriously though, thanks for the tip. I'll be moving down to SoCal soon so it's good to know who to avoid.

    17 year old with another disc brake q!!

    Your best bet on a budget would probably be a Granada swap. Check out the links in this thread for lots of pages describing various brake installs.

    Poly or rubber and why?

    TCP does, I know because I have the whole coilover setup, including strut rods, on my '68. Can you buy TCP hardware at this point though? I know they went under then got bought out and all kinds of weird stuff is going on now.

    Finally got my 17x8s on the '68!!!

    Not great, not horrible. I give them a 'meh' ;) But it's your car, so if you like them :nice:

    Upgrade to pony interior

    I'll be ordering new foam anyway so that's not a problem. Any ideas on where I can get a diagram showing this extra rod in the pony frame? I'm not seeing it in my shop manual or Chilton's. Is the difference even noticable when the upholstery is on?

    Upgrade to pony interior

    My mom's '66 vert needs to have the interior completely redone. I figure while I'm at it she might as well get an upgrade to a pony interior, but from what I've picked up from parts catalogs it seems the pony interior won't install on regular seats. According to the Sacramento Mustang site...
