    What disc brake kit should I choose? SWAP.1 or SWAP.3 kit from discbrakeswap.com?

    Hi, I have a 1969 Mustang Coupe, 302-2v, C4, manual drum brakes, power steering, AC, and 15" Magnum 500s. This was a daily driver for me from 1989 to 1996 and now sees a couple hundred miles a year. I just bought a front disc brake kit from Dennis and I was all set to go with the SWAP.3...

    Recommend an upholsterer in California?

    I am north of Sacramento about 45 miles. Eureka would be a long haul. I was thinking of calling Sac Mustang and American Mustang and seeing if they had recommendations.

    Anybody bother to record MPG on their steeds?

    I used to track mine when my 69 Coupe was a daily driver. It has a 302-2v engine, 2.79 gears and a C-4 auto tranny. I could get 20-22 mpg on the highway and mid to high teens in town assuming I drove it easy. This was on a bone stock engine, no mods.

    Recommend an upholsterer in California?

    I need to have the foam and seat covers redone on my 1969 Coupe. I'd attempt this myself but with two young kids at home, I don't get much free time. So, can anyone recommend an upholsterer in Northern California (hopefully) that I could take my seats, foam and upholstery to to have the seats...

    Which Paint Scheme?

    Going to vote for white with blue stripes, a classic and beautiful combination. The Eleanor black and silver has just been done to death.

    Why is my engine running rough?

    I found out that I am an idiot who crossed the #3 and #4 plug wires somehow. :) I thought I was being so careful not to cross the wires when I was messing with the plugs when I put the car into and out of storage that I didn't go back and verify until there was basically nothing left to heck.

    Bought from TruDesign Wheel or heard of them before? OR where to buy Mag 500 wheels?

    These guys sell a Magnum 500 wheel using an original center welded to a new steel rim. Good thing is the black center section is powder coated for better durability over painting. They also double chrome the wheels instead triple chrome plating. Not sure if that matters or not...

    Why is my engine running rough?

    After some prodding from others, I decided to take my 69 Coupe out of storage. It has been sitting for 10 months plus or minus. When I put it in storage, I filled the tank w/ 91 octane fuel and added fuel stabilizer. Now that I took it out it idles rough and doesn't have much power when you step...

    Look at this ebay find....

    It has quad exhaust too!! Two pipes out the back and a set of fake side exhaust pipes. That car has to be the biggest POS I have ever seen. I am absolutely blown away on the $25k bid and the fact that it is Dubai, UAE pretty much guarantees the whole sale is a scam.

    Looks great, only thing I see as a item to critique are the license plate holes in the first picture. Would have been good to photoshop them out.

    I saw a tidbit saying to fill your tires with Nitrogen. Since the molecules are relatively large in size, the nitrogen tends to not leak out and thus your tire pressure stays where you set it. Anyone doing this?
