    New rims for Murphy

    i bought mine from a place in kansas, fastlanespeedandrodshop.com, with shipping, lugs, valve stems, and center caps, they still beat the daylights out of summits price. you have to give them a call for the best price, though...

    What is your opinion? 3.80 or 4.10 8" rear

    ive got 3.50 gears behind my aod, and the car is plenty quick out of the hole, yet still only turns 2200 rpm at 75 mph.

    AOD ?

    your mounting point for the lokar cable needs to be 1 1/8 inch, and directly below the throttle shaft. i set mine up with no corrector linkage, and it works fine.:shrug:

    replacing 65/66 coupe wheel wells

    since it looks like the rest of the wheel well is sound, your best bet MIGHT be to section the new one in. by that i mean to use only what you need. if that is not an option, you can cut the brace running up to the roof pillar, and put it back after the wheelhouse is in.

    Zoomie Pipes

    ah, the good old days...i remember them, didnt see them too much in real life though. the ad in magazines were the busty women, color saturated, cartoons used by the people who made purple hornies IIRC (cyclone?) i think they went under, and the rights to purple hornies got bought by someone...

    Brand new gas tank.....

    when i checked this post out last night, my first thought was "no ground to the tank.." do this first: run a jumper wire from the sending unit, to a good ground. if you get a reading, you need to ground it. you dont need to remove the tank, just trade one of the self tappers holding the tank...

    Since Custom Audio Sound = Crap, what about Retrosound?

    good point! power = transformer= weight! CAS does the same thing claiming high power output, which is total bull. my jbl amps are older (early 90's) when the mfg. used rms, not peak to peak ratings for power. the big one is 75 watts per channel, and the small one is 50. add the total together...

    Since Custom Audio Sound = Crap, what about Retrosound?

    im not sure about the quality, but the face just looks too modern for me... you are right about the CAS, they are like holding an empty case, just too chinzy. i bought one for my stang, and just couldnt bring myself to install it. i sucked it up, and bought a used jvc off ebay, (dont ask what i...

    Fiberglass Apron

    +1 on the mustangs unlimited apron... the one ive got only needed a good coat (o.k. three coats) of 2k primer, and block sanding. you will most likely have to notch the lips of the fenders to make them follow the contour of the apron. after you are happy with the fit you can either weld, or...

    56K warning Lots of pictures! Swapping a '67 Radiator Support into a '66

    a pretty good substitute for spot weld drills are the brad point type drill bits...3/8 inch work well. you can save wear and tear on the pilot bit portion by first drilling with a small drill bit (1/8 inch or smaller)

    Is this a good radiator?

    ive got a direct fit northern from summit, but it wasnt without problems... not that its a bad radiator, but the trans cooler bungs werent tapped properly, rendering the built in cooler useless. when i called summit with the problem (the radiator was already painted black, and had coolant in it...

    To resto-mod or Not, that is the ?

    i have to agree with zookeeper... the trend is moving away from the 100 point trailer queens, and toward the "restomod",build- um-to-drive,i dont care who likes it, cars. thank god! ive seen so many original,65 k code fast backs that unless it is parked in my garage, i dont care to see it. now...

    To resto-mod or Not, that is the ?

    i think the restomod car cars will be around alot longer than the prostreet cars...mca never had a class for prostreet that i recall! my 65 is a restomod, in my eyes, and i wouldn't have it any other way. looks good, drives great, draws attention from the rodders and purist alike,and shows well...
