    best way to seal the windshield/back glass?

    They still make the proper sealant. It is not the current stuff that is used to glue in glass with no gasket/weatherstrip though. You cannot use a urethane based glue as it hardens and then does not stick to the rubber gasket. The stuff you need is a non-hardening type of sealant. You will...

    Rack and Pinion upgrade

    Scott, It is not that my the rack and pinion I am working on is super secret it is just that I will not promise things I cannot deliver. Preliminary measurements and testing for full lock to lock steering are extremely encourging but I have several ideas on how to approach this setup and I...

    Clutch Pedal Assy

    I like how he took the pictures on multiple Mustangs.

    Shelby Grill

    It is not painted white, it is painted light Argent just like the insets in the rest of the mouldings.

    Power Brakes swap - distribution block?

    I get a TEE from a trailer place to spit the line going to the front brakes and then use an adjustable proportioning valve in the rear line. Just make sure you get a master cylinder for a front disc and you will not have to worry about the residual valve issue. One from a late 70s Granada is a...

    Shaving the Drip Rails...I need info/pics.

    So you kept the bulge on the SN95? Kind of looks like it in the pic but I may be mistaken.

    Shaving the Drip Rails...I need info/pics.

    What about the bulge at the bottom of the roofline right as it meets the driprail? That is what I don't know what to do with.

    Shaving the Drip Rails...I need info/pics.

    Shaving the Drip Rails on a 66 Coupe...I need info/pics. I am under a deadline and media blasting has revealed that the car I am working on is a mess in some places. The roof is rusted out badly in several places. To fix this I think shaving the drip rails would make things the easiest as I...

    what's wrong with this shelby?

    What he says is irrelevant at this point if he claims the traction bars are original or correct. If he says the 9" rear in there is the original one he is lying again. What he says means little.

    what's wrong with this shelby?

    No they are not. He can claim what he likes but that does not make it true. The traction bars are not correct for an early production 65 Shelby....PERIOD. That is definitely a 9" rear but as has already been stated it does not taper down on the ends so it is either a fabbed one or a 57-59...

    what's wrong with this shelby?

    I does have the correct export brace though. I do not know if they actually reproduce the original export brace.......notice the bolt spacing?

    Need help installing 66 Coupe decklid torsion bars.

    The torsion bars in the coupe I am working on popped out when I was working on the minitubs. I need to get them back in so I can properly adjust the decklid before I cut the quarters and tail panel off for replacement. I have not had a coupe in over 20 years so I simply do not remember...

    8.8" vs 9"

    No, it is my understanding that they are centered but I cannot directly confirm that because the only FOX 8.8 I have is under a friend's car holding it up at the moment so I cannot easily measure it.

    What acid to use for stripping?

    I use Muriatic Acid (Hydrochloric) to derust all my little metal parts....especially old rusty brake parts becuase it cleans inside as well. It will NOT remove paint. It is very effective. You can use baking soda in water to neutralize. I simply use water, then Metal Prep (PPG) which is...

    PUSHROD -VS- MODULAR

    The minitubs were not hard, just time consuming to figure out how to do since I have never seen it done before I simply had to experiment and do what I think is best. I have a series of photos if you want to take a look. They are roughed in but not totally finished. I am saving all the...

    PUSHROD -VS- MODULAR

    I assume by aftermarket suspension you mean one that uses coilovers and ditches the rear leaf springs, if not the leafs are much more of a constraint on tire size than the fenderwells. I am building a Griggs GR-350 at the moment and just finished roughing in the minitubs picked up about 1.5" on...

    8.8" vs 9"

    The Explorer 8.8 has 4" of offset in the pinion. If you do not shorten the long side the 3" necessary to fit a 65/66 car the offset is far too much for a 67/70 Mustang. Your only choice is to make it 65/66 length and adjust the offest on the rims or run spacers. This is a really bad rear...

    8.8 fitment in 66?

    The explorer rears will work with some minor mods. I have 3 of them to use as test mules to see what the mods are like. The nice thing about the explorer rears is they have 3.70 gears, trac-loc differentials, 31 spline axles, and disk brakes. I will not get to converting these until late Aug...

    solid motor mounts..but solid tranny mount?

    You should not have all points on solid mounts. If you have solid motor mounts then you should keep a rubber/poly isolated one on the tranny. You can actually break the transmission case from what I have heard although I cannot verify that. You would also have a lot more vibration with a...

    Well, it didn't sell
