    Paint Scheme/Stripe questions for 1968 coupe

    Don't worry, if it seems like I am talking to myself, I actually am. :rlaugh: :p I just had to write (type) these ideas down so that I can look back later. I found a picture of a modern mustang that has the same paint scheme I am thinking of... the red isn't as dark as the one I want but...

    Paint Scheme/Stripe questions for 1968 coupe

    Well... I just had another good option presented to me. With the two-tone color scheme in place (red on sides, black on top), I could then work a black C-stripe into the paint scheme. It would contrast very nicely with the red that I would have on the sides. However, is this a better idea...

    Paint Scheme/Stripe questions for 1968 coupe

    Hi guys, I'm currently sitting here at work, trying to convince myself that I'm not actually at work on Good Friday (:nonono: ), and I wanted to see if I could get some opinions on the paint scheme I was thinking of for my 1968 coupe. At first, I wanted to do 1 solid color plus striping of...

    Another engine/trans question

    Nah, I decided against AOD. There are too many mods necessary to the car overall, which equates to more dollars spent and more time wasted. The guy that will build my C4 is positive that they are strong enough, if built correctly.

    Another engine/trans question

    So it turns out I was too impatient - again. I gave up on my current 289 too soon. I just got it checked out, and the reason that it was weak was that the distributor wasn't advancing the timing at all. Doh! Anyway, I still need to do something with my transmission. I found someone that I...

    Engine and transmission advice needed

    Wow. Great response! Now, a few questions for you: The c4 rebuild and install quote was from a mustang resoration shop, so I believe it would be trustworthy. However, is an upgrade to a different transmission worth it? The way I see it is that if I will end up changing out the tranny...

    Engine and transmission advice needed

    Hi everyone, My Mustang now has new suspension, brakes, and steering. The interior is all coming together and I am looking wayyy down the line at what color I will paint her. However, in the meantime I need to start planning and budgeting for how much to spend on an engine/tranny upgrade...

    Update on my '68 coupe (lots and lots of pics)

    It took way too long! Let's see.... 4 weeks to gut the interior completely and strip some of the floor pans to test how solid they were. I had a lot of stuff going on and I'm sure I could have made better time here. At that point I did the Zero-Rust, which took another week because I...

    Update on my '68 coupe (lots and lots of pics)

    I haven't posted here in a while, but I have gotten some work done on the car. There should be a whole lot more accomplished by this point, but oh well. Work done: Stripped the floor pans to check for rust Applied Zero-rust to floor pans Covered floor pans with 2 layers of SecondSkin...

    How much $$$ for a decent soundsystem?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I do plan to run all 5 speakers (2-6x9, 2-4", 1-10") off of the one amp... but the guy I spoke to at the car audio place knew this and suggested this set up. He said that half of the power would be going to the speakers and half to the amp. He showed me the...

    How much $$$ for a decent soundsystem?

    Hi guys, I have decided that I'm going to put a sound system in my car pretty soon. I was hoping you guys could let me know how much this might run me (the cost in RED is what I've been quoted for Clarion products): 2x 4" speakers in the dash ($60) 2x 6"x9" speakers in the package tray...

    1993 GT front seats for classic upgrade + 1968 black front buckets

    I have 2 pairs of front seats available for sale. The first pair is out of my current 1968 coupe. They are black and in decent shape. They will need to be recovered down the road as there are a few punctures here and there. They would function fine for a daily driver for the time being. I...

    Best way to mask interior for dash paint?

    Hi guys, I successfully painted my interior rear quarters, glove box, and some of my dash trim. I used the "Easy-off" method, and it worked great! Thanks to the poster who tried it and suggested it. Now... I figure that I have to re-paint the actual dash itself. No reason to have everything...

    Late Model Seat questions...

    Hi guys, I'm still trying to find a good option for replacement front seats for my '68. After listening to the answers on my last post, it seems like my best bet would be to go with some fox-body seats. 94-99 would be alright also, but I'm having more luck finding fox-body ones. I like the...

    Value of a 1971 Mach 1?

    Value of a 1971 Mach 1?

    Hey guys, In my now never-ending search for parts, I happened to run across a classic car sales place that had a 1971 Mach1 for sale. I thought it was a good deal, and I was hoping some people would chime in with a rough price range for what the car is worth (in SoCal $$$ if possible). I'll...

    Looking for 67/68 Hood Turn Signal Pictures

    I have a '68 coupe with the turn indicators built into the hood, so I may be able to help. But... I don't really get what you're asking for. I only have the camera on my Treo right now, but if you would like me to take a pic of the turn signals in the hood from the driver's view, I can do...

    Pics of my new '68 coupe

    Hey guys, Finally got some decent pictures of my new coupe up on photobucket. It's not much to look at right now, but the further I give into this thing the more I realize just how complete it is. All of the electricals work correctly. I'm not missing any parts from the car, and I...
