    B&M Ripper 5-Speed install????????

    I installed my steeda tri-ax in the car; they're made to be installed with the tranny in the car I think. If you can get to the top of the trans (remove the console if you have one, shift boot, shift lever, etc.), you should be able to get the old shifter out and put the new one in. There are...

    fixing stripped-out screw holes?

    Lots of good suggestions. I'm really interested in the oversize screws if I can find out who sells them and how much they are. Aside from that, the paper clip idea sounds good if they're not going to break over time (seems like that might be a danger). I haven't messed with the welder yet...

    fixing stripped-out screw holes?

    I looked at NPD and mustangs unlimited, no luck. Who sells those?

    fixing stripped-out screw holes?

    I took my interior apart, and of course there are a million little screw holes for the interior panels, and half of them are stripped out and need to be repaired. I'm trying to get suggestions for the best way to do that. I thought I could maybe hit the edges with a little solder and that...

    TR-3550 input shaft question

    Thanks for the quick and thorough response, but I have some questions. What is DYI? What 2 shafts, and what new bearings? Do you think I'll need a new input shaft?

    TR-3550 input shaft question

    I usually hang out in classics, but I figured you 5.0 guys would probably be a better choice for this one. I have a tremec 3550 in my car, and it's been in there for 2 years (almost exactly) with no problems. Very recently I started getting a noticable vibration right around 2000 RPM in every...

    old brittle fiberglass

    Hey everybody, I'm taking my interior out so I can rewire the car. When I put it back in I want it to be tight enough not to rattle/fall apart under the force of the 800W (RMS) stereo I'm about to put in there. The fiberglass is old obviously, and it's really dried out and brittle. Is there...

    17's on a budget

    A lot of the tuner companies (steeda, roush, saleen, etc) sell the stock 17x8" rims they take off the new mustangs for around $1000 US for the set, including mounted tires. Plus mustangs unlimited has the same thing for $1200 I think. I'm sure there are more vendors selling them too if you...

    hubcentric wheel adapters

    Yeah if those adapters were made right and torqued right, there should be no way anything could shear through anything. Unless there was a defect in the metal.

    hubcentric wheel adapters

    I asked this in another thread but I think it got buried. I'm trying to get a set of wheel adapters for my car, and I'm looking at these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42614&item=7939724635&rd=1 Somebody said I should try to get hubcentric wheel...

    will these wheel adapters work?

    So does anybody know where I can get some hubcentric spacers?

    will these wheel adapters work?

    So how would they be made differently if I want them to be hub-centric?

    will these wheel adapters work?

    There are no machine shops around here that aren't all about ripping people off. I took a pulley in to be modified one time (shave a little off the back and drill a couple holes) and they charged me over 100 bucks for it. The mustangs unlimited set is $300 so if I can get the same deal for...

    Which subframes?

    I don't know really, they're not perfect but I should be able to make something work. I haven't looked that closely. Blake: I don't know what type of brake I'll go with. I liked the one on my ranger, the foot pedal kind to the left. Lots of leverage and it's out of the way. I just kicked...

    will these wheel adapters work?

    Theoretically all wheels that are interchangable on the newer mustangs (16 and 17 in) should have the same offset, right? So if I get a set of wheel adapters designed to mount 17" late model wheels on a '66, they should absolutely without a doubt make 16" wheels fit perfectly also. Next...

    which welder to get?

    What is involved in running a new 230V circuit to the garage?

    Which subframes?

    I came into some money when some girl smashed my truck. I'm a lot more motivated to spend days lying on my back on cold concrete when there are thousands of dollars being spent at the same time. Hopefully by the end of winter break (mid january) I'll have a limited slip with 4.11s, 16"...

    Which subframes?

    what's up blake? How is the world treating you these days? reenmachine: what tools do I need to make subframes, besides the welder?

    Which subframes?

    Mustangs unlimited sells their subframes, and some made by TCP. I don't know anything about either. The main thing about the TCP ones is that you can get their X-brace to install in addition to the regular subframes, but total cost is about 3x the cost of the mustangs plus subframes. So...

    which welder to get?

    I want a 115V mig welder, which limits me to about 135A. Hobart makes a 140A and Lincoln makes a 135A. The features and price are basically the same. So does anybody have any input on which one is better? Or is there another brand I should get? The main reason I looked at these 2 is because...
