    SEATS!!!

    I know this may not solve all your problems with the seats you have, but are you aware of the seat pan modification that would lower those seats? Mustangs Plus did a write up on it, and that write up has been discussed in this forum in the past. I hate to pull an Lman on you :D, but a search...

    Modifying my 67 coupe any suggestions?

    I've actually given this some thought as well. My conclusion was to keep the rear seat but have the box flush mounted behind the seat, sealing off the trunk in such a manner that it would look great with or without the seat in place. I think 10's would mount in a conventional manner to make...

    rear leaf spring help

    Unless you want a higher stance than most of us on this forum, I would suggest cutting the front coils to lower the front to match the rear. Cut a 1/4 of a coil at a time until you get the ride height where you want it. Otherwise, I would suggest going with a little longer leaf spring...

    Got an estimate for bodywork, what do you think?

    You're mentioning the major jobs that need to be done on one of these cars in fairly bad shape. I would venture to say that's a pretty reasonable quote, IMO. The cowl vent repair seems especially reasonable based on what I have been told the job entails. Good luck.

    This Will Make You Cringe!!! (warning)

    Bravo!!! There are lots of naturally aspirated Classic Stangs running much better times than that and some power adder cars running 7's, 8's, 9's. :Track:

    Spray on bedliner

    Has anyone used this stuff for anything? Its my understanding that it can be tinted in colors. I had a buddy who considered spraying it on his floor pans in a pro-street/pro-touring '70 Mach and not using carpet. I'm not real keen on the idea of not using carpet, but it might be a good...

    '65-style grille for lower gt valance?

    Sounds like a machine shop job then. Find a beat to Hades '65 grill to take for an example as well as your grill for dimensions, and I'll bet they can do it. There's more than one way to skin a cat folks; before the billet grills were out and readily available, I was looking at full size truck...

    A Few Sniffles and a Question for Members

    No offense, bnickel, but I find it harder to see the relevance in this example than I did the others you mentioned. How many miles does he have on the truck? I understand you're saying the engine has been bulletproof thus far with that much boost, but IMO that doesn't necessarily equate to...

    This Will Make You Cringe!!! (warning)

    I'm certainly no supporter of Nissan engines in Mustangs, unless as 10secgoal pointed out, it's almost a matter of necessity as it is for Gowest. I think his car is cool, though, and I think it's really cool that there is a radical restomod Mustang in Thailand, no matter what engine is powering...

    '65-style grille for lower gt valance?

    I'm assuming that you're talking about a GT 350R model style valance, and you want a grill to go in the lower opening. If that is the case, just find yourself an old, junkyard bound grill and cut it carefully to match the opening. A hack saw will do the job quite well if you're careful. Its...

    Am I missing something here? Did you not just answer your own question? :shrug:

    A Few Sniffles and a Question for Members

    My friend's dad had a '98 or '99 F250 with a 5.4 that was provided by his employer. He installs walk-in freezers for a living and travels all over the country. When his employer recently replaced the truck, it had over 300,000 miles on it and did not use a drop of oil between changes. Now...

    69 FB Brake conversion and Wheel Q's

    Answer a.: Insofar as having a cobbled together brake system, anything you use will be slightly cobbled together because there was never a '69 Mustang built with 4 wheel disks that was factory balanced for that use. However, that is precisely the reason that any good 4 wheel disk setup uses an...

    Getting the most out of Drum Brakes

    Amen, brotha.:Word: The only thing is that rear drums suck too, just not quite as hard. I totally agree with Nitrouseater. Scrounge, save up, rob a bank, mug an old lady, or do whatever it takes, but I wouldn't waste another PENNY on drum brakes. You'll spend $ getting them working...

    Rim opinions wanted

    I say go for it!! Once you've bought the wheels, you'll figure out what needs to be done to make them work, which will help me in the future if I want to use similar wheels! :nice: All kidding aside, I think the Year One car has an awesome stance. In the words of Rob Schneider, 'you can do...

    does 351W and 351C parts interchange?

    351C heads will not work on a 351W block without drilling new water jackets in the heads. A 351C intake will not work at all on a 351 W. From what I understand, a Boss 302 intake, not a 351C intake, mind you, will work on a 302, not a 351W, with the modified 351 C heads. For a 351W, you have...

    the difference between 68 and 68 gt

    I'm 33 and am not one to flame you over such a little mistake. You're a very informative contributor to this site. We all make mistakes, although we often don't like to admit them. With that lead in, I debated, for a second, over whether to point out your slight mistake. After a few...

    How many people have actually done I6 to V-8 Conversion

    Bingo. :Word: Especially if you saved $ by starting with an I6 car as opposed to a V8 car, which I assume is your point.
