    Engine Options For 65 Coupe

    Wow, you must have great labour rates where you live, my machine shop bill was $2000+ and then parts.... Just looked at my list and machining and parts added up to $2800 and then I had someone else do the build with extra head work done

    Engine Options For 65 Coupe

    Not where I live, an easy $2500 for a rebuild. My nailhead was $3700 with all stock parts but that's not as common a motor

    68' Project With Son

    Keep in mind when you get to the priming stage, the stuff is toxic, you need a quality respirator, better yet a fresh airs system if you're not spraying in a proper booth. If you're spraying in your garage you want it sealed so you're not getting vapours into the house. SPI primer is good but so...

    1964 1/2 Restore - Help With Paint Choice - Looking For Opinions

    Silver with a lip stick red interior always looks good on just about any car. Mercedes has a nice metallic silver. I'm not crazy about red on red for some reason. Blue on blue looks good too.

    Inner Trunk Bracket?

    Thanks, I had no idea whatsoever. I'll be welding the bumper ones, not a fan of tar, I've scraped a ton of it off from everywhere on this car, that and undercoating.

    Inner Trunk Bracket?

    This is probably a stupid question. The innder trunk brackets have two oval holes for your bumper to bolt through and then one other 3/8" or so hole that doesn't appear to have any useful purpose? I went to a car show yesterday and checked out a trunk and there was just silicone in it? I was...

    Well that's good to know, I have power steering. Thanks

    Power Rack Or Borgenson?

    Thanks guys, that sounds good. I'm not ready to install either, still working on the body and paint, but I have been gathering all the necessary parts along the way. I have all the new suspension parts and steering is next so I'll be ordering the Borgeson soon. Cheers

    Power Rack Or Borgenson?

    I put up a thread earlier about getting a manual rack and by the sounds of it the Borgenson was a better option for ease of driving and as previously mentioned it's for my wife. So now I'm wondering what you folks that may have a power rack feel about that option? Was thinking of Unisteer or...

    Where Is Everything?

    I see what my issue was, there's a sub forum tab under it so I wasn't looking in the right place, hence not finding anything :doh:

    Manual Rack?

    That sounds like a smart way to do it since it may not be a problem in the first place. Not planning on adding AC, don't really need it where I live especially with it being a vert

    Manual Rack?

    Thanks Gene, that looks good. Can always get new hoses made up if need be. Is it worth getting the kit with the pump to address the possible idle issue?

    Where Is Everything?

    found the search function again so that helped. posted on that thread and the reply doesn't come up in recent posts. I don't understand the order, the first page has last replys from june and before? Hovering over my name gives me my profile page, nothing about recent activity or postings?

    Manual Rack?

    Read some more on the Borg replacement, looks about the same price as the rack by the time I replace the broken control valve so cost isn't a factor. By your descriptions it sounds more user friendly though.

    I can't find my recent thread, can't even find the search function? the last 2 weeks of threads seem to have disappeared?

    Manual Rack?

    Thanks, that's probably the best option and if it's cheaper, all the better. The main thing is in the end the steering is improved in feel but not an overwhelming struggle to steer.

    Manual Rack?

    It's currently power steering but the valve body needs to be replaced and the old type power steering has no road feel with the 5 or so turns lock to lock. I'm not familiar with the borgenson unit so I'll have to do some research on that. I assume the pump I have would work with it, not sure...

    Manual Rack?

    how much more effort, say on a scale of 1 - 10, 1 being the easiest like old school power steering, 10 being the hardest like the old manual steering and a modern stang being 5 right in the middle. I don't want to shell out $1500 or so and then find it's a pain to drive. As long as it's within...
