    What Mags for my 66 coupe

    stockton wheels (or something like that). They make a wider and larger version of the very nice looking Styled Steel Wheels, a GT option on the 65 and 66 I believe. You can get 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the back. They look great on a stock looking ride AND you can have modern safe...

    I am under 25 and have no garage. COLLECTOR INSURANCE?

    You would be right if daddy gave me my car, but I paid for every bit of it myself while in the military. I am quite responsible with it, but I am going to get screwed if it gets stolen or ran into in the parking lot in my apartment. I am not the only person in America my age with a collector...

    Starting a new life/job - Selling my 65 racecoupe

    I was just about to say that. :) I will make a lot more as a Sheriff's Deputy than I did in the Air Force, by a long shot. Right now I can't look for a job that requires a decent commitment, and others aren't hiring. It is really wierd.

    Starting a new life/job - Selling my 65 racecoupe

    My ad is in the Classic Ads section. I am going to enter the Sheriff's Academy if all goes well. It is a pain to find a temporary job here in Tempe, a big pain. I just moved here in April from Utah. I really can't wait to join the Sheriff's Dept. It will be very fun and challenging...

    I am under 25 and have no garage. COLLECTOR INSURANCE?

    It is BS. just because I am 24 doesnt mean I cant obtain a classic. Really a pain in my ass. I dont drive my 65 because of my delema. I went from State Farm (275 per mo. vs 98 per mo. for my Mazda.)

    I am under 25 and have no garage. COLLECTOR INSURANCE?

    I don't have insurance on the Stang anymore because I went with Geico and they won't cover my 65. One insurance company wants me to be 25, another wants me to have a Garage. Could I have my parents help me out even though I own the car and they live in Fl, I live in Phoenix? Who should...

    I have to work my cooling system out. I have hardly driven my 65 since I moved from SLC Ut. to Phoenix. It is hot as hell down here and my cooling system is not up for daytime traffic. I have a Griffin Aluminum radiator (65 size) and a Spal electric fan. I have the fan on the bumper side...

    Building a 331: periodic update

    I can't wait to see the FB when you are finished. I love my 331. It makes plenty of power. I have to have the valves adjusted, my power stops at 5100 rpm. I made 340 to the wheels even with that - I should be at 400 @6800 or so. As soon as I am finished with my turbo Protege 5 (12 sec...

    GT 350 (what's the 350 for)?

    350 feet or steps, something like that. The 500 as in GT 500 was used because Shelby wanted the largest number on his car, 500 being larger than 454, etc.

    Wheel shopping, need some advice

    Here is a tip. Your wheels will look so much nicer if you have quality disc brakes on them. If you can't afford discs, don't get any open spoke wheels that "show off" your drums. Seriously, it makes the wheels look great.

    Ordered my G-force tranny

    Your engine will tilt back. It is no big deal. It is a tight fit. Too bad the TKO isn't the same size as the toploader.

    "New" gages with "old" style?

    I assume that you can basically do the same thing that I did with my guages, it will just be a little more time consuming. It should look really nice. I like my lights in green in my car.

    "New" gages with "old" style?

    Yeah, either mount the tach on the dash like in my pic above, or put it in the pod. I vote for the pod. It looks really sweet when done correctly.
