    Break out the strippers baby!!

    I vote for aircraft stripper also. I used this on my entire car. First, lay down a thick layer of the stuff. Then place a plastic sheet over the section that you just placed the stripper on. Carefully press down on the plastic to work out the air bubbles. Let it sit for about 30 - 45...

    Who made the kick panels with speaker inserts?

    Since the search button seems to be missing, I was hoping someone may be able to answer my question. I recall reading that someone here at stangnet made their own kick panels with speaker inserts (for both 6.5" mids and tweeters). The recall the guy using fiberglass to do this. Does anyone...

    2007, the Mustang will have Competition, Camaro is Alive AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If they put that or a similar design into concept and show it to the public, the majority of the people will :drool: . If they get anywhere near the reaction from the public that the concept Mustang did, they won't have much of choice but to put it into production. later, Chris

    2007, the Mustang will have Competition, Camaro is Alive AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have never been a fan of Camaros, no matter from what gerneration it came from. I just never liked the looks of them. However, that rendering is sweet! later, Chris

    Help with ground effects

    By side ground effects, I am assuming that you mean the pieces that run along the rocker panels and not the pieces that attatch to the fenders. The pieces that run along the rockers will not be molded to the car. Only the pieces that attatch to the fenders will be molded. Correct me if I am...

    Help with ground effects

    My uncle and I are the ones working on the car. He has done body work and paint for 20+ years and does an excellent job. His idea was to do exactly what you stated and use fiberglass bonding agents and fiberglass to mold the pieces to the car. However, I wanted to get some ideas and opinions...

    Help with ground effects

    It's my understanding that the the ground effects get screwed into the bottom rockers and fenders. Therefore, there should be quite a bit of support from the bottom. later, Chris

    Help with ground effects

    This sucks. I was really looking to mold the pieces to the fenders. I think that leaving the line would look pretty tacky. later, Chris

    Help with ground effects

    I am in the process of restomoding my '65 coupe and I have ordered the ground effects kit from Mustangs Plus. While the car is still getting ready for primer, we have held the ground effects up on the car and they do look good! However, I have a question for you guys that have worked with a...

    How many spot welds are there on a cowl?

    When we did my '65 cowl, there were well over 100. However, it will have been worth drilling out all those welds the first time it rains and I don't have a swimming pool on the floor of my car. later, Chris

    Rebuilding a Race Car Legend - The Ford GT

    I am sure that this has been mentioned before since this aired a while back. I am sitting in Berlin, Germany (been here for almost a month) and I brought a bunch of American television shows with me on an external hard drive. I just got my first chance to watch Rebuilding a Race Car Legend...

    Opening the hood like...ummm...a vette?

    I never really knew that there was that much wind coming off the windshield. Thanks! As for the T-5's, I have seen two I believe. However, both were in the states. One was like a '66 coupe and the other was a Mach1. I have pics of the Mach1 somewhere back home. I am in Berlin and I...

    Opening the hood like...ummm...a vette?

    I was curious if anyone has setup the hood on their '65 -'66 stang to open like that of a vette? I am curious to know if this is possible and if so the steps to do so. Since my butt is sitting in an apartment in Berlin, Germany (I am here for work) right now, I don't have access to my car...

    How vital is garaging a classic Stang?

    I am not sure how handy you are or how much room you have on your property. However, my dad just built a small shed on our property for extra storage. He used the same siding and roof shingles that they have on the house. It looks really nice and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like a lot...

    How vital is garaging a classic Stang?

    How vital is your heart to your suvival? :shrug: Ok, a garage isn't that vital but I will not keep my '65 outside once it is complete. Honestly, when I first bought my coupe (I was 18 and living at home) during the summer I kept it outside under a cover. In the winter, it went into...

    Buyer Warning, Ripped off on eBay!

    Not to go too OT but I thought I would throw in this little side note about PayPal and Credit Card Refunds. You must file a complaint with PayPal and they must attempt to recover your funds BEFORE you file a charge back with your credit card company. You have 30 days from the time of...

    frame rail trunk floor replacement

    Are you removing the entire rear frame rail? If you are only looking to replace a section of the frame rail, you might as well do the whole thing. That is assuming that you will also be replacing the floors. The entire frame rail is not all that expensive and we replaced both of mine in my...

    Help me settle this bet with Restomods

    No doubt that I will never see the amount of money that I put into it. However, after checking out Hemmings Online and autotrader.com I noticed that A LOT of '65-'66 fastback restomods were in the 25K - 30K price range. I don't even want to imagine building a hot rod or at least what it...

    Help me settle this bet with Restomods

    A few of my buddies (mostly mopar guys) think that I am nuts for putting roughly 30K into a '65 coupe restomod. To make a long story short, I have not done anything half-a$$ on this car. New floor boards, cowl, engine compartment, trunk, frame rails, suspension, 9" rear, TKO tranny, Wilwood...
