    68 mustang parking brake location in floor supports

    Unless you're dead set on the handle under the dash for originality purposes, I would encourage you to consider installing a tunnel-mounted handbrake. The cable system for the underdash handle is a poor design that's way more complex than needed.

    Build Thread 1978 Fairmont. I bet somebody back home’s thinkin’…I wonder why he don’t write..?

    That's pretty messed up that they'll let you place the order but that you're not mature enough to sign for it.

    Which do you want to drive-auto or manual? How much are you going to spend, net, if you swap to an auto? How does that compare to the cost of a new adapter? With all, the tools and fab skills you have, can you fix the current adapter to make it work? Is that worth $2k? Have you shared the...

    1968 Mustang Coupe - Carb/intake/exhasut/headers upgrades

    A few preliminary questions that need to be clarified: -what is your planned use for the car? Daily driver? Weekend cruiser? Track car (if so, what kind)? -what is your budget? -what is your ability to do your own work? Generally good advice above. Everyone wants to start with modding for...

    See!!! Golden-brownish... Like a skid mark after you wash the fruit o the looms twice. Just caught up to real time. Why are you watching TV when you could be pulling the transmission?

    Don't confuse me with facts. I remember what I remember, and based on where I am in this thread, I can't check history because you deleted it.

    I know this is damn near a year old, but this might just be the funniest post on the interwebs. I'm catching up on 6 years... Last thing I knew the Gila Monster was brown, or gold, or some, sort of color from my whitey-tighteys???

    New here, looking for advice on best way to sell my dad's project fastback

    Based on your description, I would think you are in the 10-15k for everything except engine and trans. I'd sell those separately. You might also post up on Vintage Mustang Forums (different, specific forum). Lots of builders there, would probably get more interest. You need a lot of pictures...

    Everything old is new again...

    I'm gonna get a bunch more and weld them all together to make a custom-formed intake tube. Trying to become a fabricator like you. :cool:

    Do you see how far that guy had to back up to get that picture? I run into the garage wall first. How's that?

    Steve's Megasquirt/tunerstudio Help Thread

    What more info do I need to provide for overall goals? That sounds way snarkier than I mean it to be, but I'm not sure what else to provide--I don't have a specific number for HP or torque, or quarter mile time, or any of that. I was trying to answer that question in advance with this:

    You've mellowed in your old age. Do you know how hard it is to get pictures of a garage queen that's been under a pile of lumber for the past 5 years? :D

    Megasquirt Digital Dash

    OK, tying this into my questions here, is this something that could be configured to run in my 67 (recognizing that the physical layout will need to be different). I was planning to do a Dakota Digital dash for my car, but if I can put something together that ties the MS to a digital dash, that...

    Steve's Megasquirt/tunerstudio Help Thread

    Going to post general questions here, then start my own thread once I have the hardware purchased. Just re-introduced myself in the Welcome Wagon after a 6 year absence. I'm finally ready to start tuning my 67. Here's the pertinent details: 67 Convertible, T5, 8.8 with 4.10s (have a set of...

    Everything old is new again...

    I've been away from StangNet for about 6 years, but I'm back. Looks like a few of the names I knew are still here, including @Noobz347 and Mad Mike, although I'm guessing that's him using the @CarMichael Angelo handle--is he trying to stuff a Ferrari engine in a Fairmont now? I moved from FL...

    Tuning Question

    Sorry, I should have been a little clearer: The time that is on the car was done when the engine was already stroked. Only changes since tune are the ones listed above.

    Tuning Question

    I looked at the archives first, couldn't find anything specific to my question: I've got the driveline from a 91LX in my 67. PO had it custom-tuned with an older style chip (not Diablo or SCT). I'm basically running the same setup, with the exceptions noted below: 5.0 stroked to 347 TF...

    I'm trying to find time in my schedule to finish wiring the 67. You're not encouraging me in the least... BTW, I would definitely give you a cookie, if you were closer. That's a redneck masterpiece.

    Mike, you impress me with everything you do... but the fact that you related the story to the whole interweb that your wife was right totally astounds me. Keep trailblazing, good sir!
