    Just saw thr original Gone in 60 Seconds

    I actually went to button willow last November. I didn't track my car, I was there more to film and document the event, but I definitely would love to take my coupe up there when the suspension, chasis work and brakes are done. I agree that most car chase movies blow, but there have been some...

    Engine question (having someone build me one...making sure he isnt feeding me B.S)

    Why not just look into a roush or ford racing crate engine. They sell in the $6k & $7k range and would most likely be able to get you to your 400 rwhp goal. You just drop those thing in and the are complete from oil pan to intake, plus they usually come with a one year warranty. If you ordered...

    Coupe I built for a friend.

    It turned out great. This is some excellent work with a great turnaround time. Do you guys have a website or maybe photos of other cars you have worked on?

    Those of you that got blown . . .

    I haven't s/c'ed a carb'd car yet, but I helped on a friends 01 Cobra. That install took about a weekend with a few cases of beer and some pizzas. There were 4 of us and we had to do it all including changing out the fuel pumps. We all have a decent amount of technical knowledge, but nowhere...

    Engine question (having someone build me one...making sure he isnt feeding me B.S)

    Not to sound rude, but 400+rwhp wont do you much good if you cant get it to the ground. Putting 400+rwhp in a car and driving it around with a stock/non-upgraded suspension and brake system isn't the smartest/safest thing to do. I am sure you are trying to work on it all simultaneously, but I...

    Coupe I built for a friend.

    Holy cow. That is awesome. Can we get some more details? Was it a rust free car? If not, how were you able to do all that work in 3.5 months? What is that paint color. It is awesome. Finally, what does a build like that cost?

    Just saw thr original Gone in 60 Seconds

    Without a doubt, the chase scenes done back in the 60's and 70's are better than todays. No CGI and eveything was real. Real crashes, real racing and real cars. The 2000 Gone in 60 Seconds had a really nice car chase...up until the stupid computer animated jump. As soon as that happened, I gave...

    Just saw thr original Gone in 60 Seconds

    Just saw the original Gone in 60 Seconds So, I had some down time this weekend and decided to watch the Original Gone in 60 Seconds movie from 1974 for the first time ever. I am 28 years old and have only really been seriously into mustangs since about 1999. That movie had some "interesting"...

    BIG Update on the repair of COBRASK8 - Lotsa Pics

    I'm relatively new to this forum. That looked like a pretty good hit. Glad you were ok. Great job on the repair, it would be hard to notice any previous damage with how well you did the repair work. I plan on getting an FFR one day also. Still about 5-10 years in the future, but it sure does...

    Anybody using vintage venoms brakes?

    I was looking into them a few months ago. Seems like a good kit, but there aren't a whole lot of people who run them. There are a few on this board as well as a few other boards that run the Mustang Steve kits. Personally, I will be most likely goign with the Daze Cars kit for the front and the...

    A good engine question for those who have driven BIG HP

    I have driven two cars on many occasions, both of them belonging to friends of mine, an 01 cobra at 430rwhp and a 460rwhp 03 cobra. They are fun to drive, but definitely not daily drivers due to how much gas they use. Hell, they would probably go bankrupt if they drove their cars daily. Your...

    Check out this 14 year old's driving prowess....

    I've never seen it. Good post. The adults are at fault for not making sure the car was out of gear before letting this kid get in with the keys.

    Bellhousing for a T5 on a 289

    Hey there people, I have a 67 coupe with a T5 conversion. I have the stock 289/3 speed bellhousing and I have noticed that it is cracked. I am looking into replacing the bellhousing and was wondering if any T5 BH from a 79-93 5.0 will work with my 289 engine? Should I just look at bellhousings...

    I did it!

    I am currently piecing together my disc brake setup. I was going to go with a kit from SSBC front disc only with power for about $1700 then I started to research into putting in SN95 brakes into a classic. I think that is the route I am going with. I can pick up a set of 99-04 GT brakes (dual...

    I did it!

    When i bought my 68 coupe i had originally decided to go all original...then i started looking at catalogs and saw all the cool things in that were available for classic stangs, like power windows/locks, suspension upgrades, sound systems, etc...so then i decided to go restomod. I have the same...

    I did it!

    Congrats on the buy 95CobraStang...No rust is a huge deal. First thing I recommend you do is look over the entire car and determine what you will be needing. Secondly, what are you planning on doing? 100% restoration or are you going the restomod route?

    New to the "Classic" Forum, old to Stangnet

    Sorry abotu that, I thought your location was Chino, Ca. That's about 40 minutes away. I agree with BottleFed70, custom fabrication would be needed, especially with the exhaust manifolds, but it would be one very cool stang. You may want to check out your local Ford Car Shows for ideas if...

    New to the "Classic" Forum, old to Stangnet

    I've persoanlly never seen a turbo'd classic stang. There are pletny fox body and up stangs that are turbo'd. It would definately be unique. I want to add a power adder to my 67 coupe one day and have always wanted to go with a novi-1200 setup. The problem with a turbo setup is that I would have...

    New to the forum, but not new to the Mustang world

    Hey there people, I currently own a 2001 Mustang GT, a 67 coupe and a 68 coupe. I have alot of do-it-yourself experience with my cars and am confident in my abilities to install/repair almost anything on my cars, however, I have a lot to learn on many of the finer details about our classics. I...
