    Trunk lock

    Actually it is easy to take out the back seat and reach in to take off the lock from the inside. Get a longer extention if you need to. I've done it many times. A convertible is harder, but still doable with long extentions. Dan

    It's time for some new Interior...

    I put in the original "sport seats" in a 65 fastback myself and it was pretty easy once you get the hang of hog ringing. But, you will notice that with the foam they use your seat will "sit higher" in the car and I actually had to use a smaller steering wheel to fit the car. I am 6 foot tall...

    how to mount weatherstripping with supplied staples?

    self tapping screws I use hex head self drilling screws to attach the rubber to the inner fender pieces. I've done about 6 sets this way. Hold good and can't really see them anyway.

    Battery in the trunk, need cable routing ideas.

    a trick A trick I used was to go with a 94 Mustang starter with solinoid on the starter. My cable goes under car wrapped to the sub frame connector straight to the starter. Less cable and clean.

    68 289 Exhaust manifold leak

    thats it Now that makes sense. That is exactly the issue. I will look at "header" gaskets tomorrow, but if they won't do it I will go with no gaskets and use a sealer maybe (high temp). The manifolds are a little pitted but the sealer may fill that. Funny, the pass side seems to have...

    68 289 Exhaust manifold leak

    Anyone have issues using the standard exhaust gasket for the drivers side stock manifold? Just rebuilt engine and put on standard gasket (head to manifold) on to a stock exhaust manifold. It is leaking on the front two cyl. towards the top. You can see where the gasket is bigger than the...

    Who made this aftermarket AC system? (images)

    I have one Not sure of the maker but I have one. Came on a 70 coupe I bought. Worked for a little while. Evaporator froze up all the time and dripped inside the car. Froze up on the OUTSIDE of the box. I installed an OLD AIR unit in my 65 with console. vents come out at the side and...

    Tire Age: Safety Hazard - Excessive Paranoia - or Sales Promo

    Another thought about old tires I worked for a chemical company that makes rubber products. Everyone can have an opinion and here is mine. There is dry rot that you can see and most would agree that those would be bad to drive on except in parades and low speed cruising. However if your...

    Oil pressure line FUN

    Just FYI for people. If you still are using the clear plastic line for your oil presure guage, you really need to think about replacing it with copper. Just woke up my 68 Fastback from a long sleep and drove it to town. Wondered what all that smoke was trailing me along the interstate...

    driveline vibration

    another idea You might want to replace your transmission mount (the rubber part at the back connecting to the cross member). I chased a vibriation for a while and it turned out to be the mount. Even looked decent, but was bad. Cheep piece to replace. :)

    Intermittent Gauges

    check short Check for a short / bare wire on feed to all the guages and fuel. If any of those wired hit ground can screw up the IVR and ruin it over time. Been there...................

    1964 mustang wiring problems

    CVR operation Keep in mind that the output of the CVR is not 6 volts. It is an AVERAGE 5.8 volts. It does this by allowing 12 volts through in a "on-off" fashion. If you use a test light on the output, you should see a "blinking" light on and off. On a meter you will see the voltage...

    trouble adding oil to 260 V8

    I am working on a 64 1/2 Mustang with original 260 in it. I tried to add oil to the filler tube which is located in the timing cover. Oil won't go in! Engine was overhauled years ago by someone else and car hasn't run much sense. Is there a gasket or something that might have been put on...

    Old air products a/c VS Classic auto air.

    Classic unit I installed the classic unit on my 65 fastback resto mod. I liked it because the car has a console and the vents they provide go around that well. I also used the March serpentine belt system which worked well (2 belts). As I remember it wasnt' too bad to install, with a few...

    Fender apron

    patch Yes you have to remove the fender. As far as a patch, I would weld solid using a lip on your patch piece and remember, the battery should cover up most of your work.

    Fender apron

    got a welder I do this deal all the time. Get one of those spot weld drills and drill out all the spot welds holding the apron on. Use an air chisel to bust them all loose. Fit in the new apron (they are cheap) and drill holes in it to duplicate spot welds and weld in the holes with your MIG...

    I have it just above the core. It comes out while driving, not after shutting off. Don't think it's too full.
