    Restoration. . . "old school", or "newfangled"??

    I am mixing the two looks with my '65 coupe. The exterior will look pretty much the same with the exception of ground effects from Mustangs Plus and a set of TTII's. The paint will be black. All of the inside interior will be straight out of a standard '65 coupe. It will be two-toned black...

    9" rearend price

    I bought the rear-end like 2 years ago and it is still sitting in the box that Currie shipped it in :nonono: Hopefully, I'll have the car finished by the end of this summer. I am also running Wilwoods up front. BTW...the engine I am looking at is a 351 rated at 470 HP and 470 ft/lbs of...

    9" rearend price

    I paid a tad bit more for pretty much the same setup from Currie a few years back. However, I went with the Wilwood brakes, since that is what I am using up front, and the Detroit Tru-Trac. They rated my rear-end to handle 750 HP :drool: later, Chris

    16 year old in a 2005??

    I see that a lot of people are helping this kid out with good comments. However, I have to agree with some, please don't judge this kid because of his age. Hell, I am 25 and I am sure some people would state that I was to young to own a 300HP car. It all depends on how responsible you are...

    Hood scoops and side scoops ????

    I am not trying to start a flame war but if you are that concerned with what others think of you and / or drive a Mustang to be "cool" then you have other issues. If you enjoy driving a Mustang and hanging around other car guys that is great, but why be concerned with looking like a dork? As...

    Does this budget seem realistic

    Nick, I just looked at your spreadsheet. Man, you got balls :nice: I am seriously affaid to add up my receipts but I know I right in the same ballpark as you. However, one day when I grow a set, I will make up a spreadsheet in the same way as yours. I think that having a print-out like that...

    Does this budget seem realistic

    Listen to what most people are saying and double your estimate. I had an estimate of 12-15K and everyone said double it. I laughed at the time. However, I am not laughing today :rolleyes: . But it will be well worth it when it is finished. As you start the process, you will want to add...

    Help me pick out an engine for my '65

    Correct me if I am wrong, but why spend all that money on a stroked/supercharged 302, when I can spend the same amount of money or a bit less on a n/a 351w that is a lot stronger? As for a heavier front end with a 351, everything I read states that if you use aluminium heads and intake, it is...

    Help me pick out an engine for my '65

    I really don't know jack about engines. I have a pretty good idea of how they work. However, deciding which carb size is the best, compression ratios, etc. is all over my head. I also don't know of any good shops in the area, but then again, I have never looked into it. I just don't want...

    Help me pick out an engine for my '65

    Granted, someone has a horror story about one place or another, but I have read some bad things about engines from Ford Motorsports. Also for that price, isn't there "better" value out there from places such as CHP? I have also been looking into Badass Engines. If anyone has some experience...

    Help me pick out an engine for my '65

    I will be looking to purchase an engine for my '65 coupe in the very near future. I would like all suggestions and comments from anyone and everyone. My price range is $5,000 - $7000 for a turn-key solution. I know that someone will bring up suspension upgrades, brakes, structure issues...

    Why Pass 05 and wait for 06??

    I am in the same position as you. Buy an '05 GT or wait another year to see what Ford throws out there. However, I would not sell your '67 to buy a new Mustang. Your '67 will get more attention (we all like to see those heads turn when we drive by) than the '05 since a lot more people will...

    selling my 66 fastback on ebay

    I am sure that you had already thought long and hard about selling the car and I don't know your situation. However, I read that you are 19 in your advertisement. If you don't need to sell the car and just got "sick off" the project, keep it and put it in a garage. You are only 19, put it...

    Good body and paint man (or woman) in NW PA?

    As you may or may not know, I am in the process of restomoding a '65 coupe. My unlce and I were originally doing the work on the car, but a number of differences have come between the two of us. I will be removing my car from his garage when I return back to the USA (I am currently in Berlin...

    top speed...?

    I had my '65 up to 125 - 130 mph. One of the dumbest things I have done. Old tires, worn suspension, etc.....but it was a friggen rush. The car was shaking like no tomorrow! later, Chris www.stangit.com

    Best Mustang book ever???

    I got a book almost exactly the same for XMAS. It is called "Mustang 40 Years". The book is blue with a picture of what appears to be a '68 CJ coupe. It is by Lou Dzierzak and David Newhardt. On the back of the book it was www.motorbooks.com on it with an ISBN of 0-7603-1770-4. However, I...
