    Met the girl of my dreams today

    this reminds me of one of my antics....... This reminds me of a stunt we tried to pull in high school. I built a home-made 3 stage rocket (using the Estes' engines) We had marked off the distance from the town square down the boulevard to the high school and had calculated the distance so...

    Met the girl of my dreams today

    I'm sorry this didn't work out - she looked like "the pick of the litter" in that pic. But you never know what they are thinking or how fickle - especially at that age. Hang in there - something will happen when you least expect it.

    voltage regulator?

    Yep - sounds like the ALT or Voltage regulator Sounds like you have a decent Alternator - you said you replaced the voltage regulator - was it a decent brand? I have had problems with some of the Duralast cheaper replacement electrical stuff. I would think the AMK alternator would be OK, but...

    voltage regulator?

    I think this may be the instrument panel regulator... :flag: Assuming you are talking about the instrument panel lights - this sounds like it might be the constant voltage regulator that goes behind the instrument panel. Are your gauges also fluctuating? If you are having the problem...

    Shelby drop, tire size q's.

    All good info (as usual) from Nick, but If your leaf springs are old now, the mid-eye springs (especially 4 Leaf) will probably be higher than what you have now - the mid-eye springs give a good stance with the 1" Arning drop - you may want the reverse-eye springs to actually lower the car.

    Should I do the shelby drop?

    Keep in mind, lowering the UCA 1" doesn't drop the front end 1" Although the upper control arms are lowered one inch when you perform the Arning drop, your Mustang's ride height will not sit one inch lower in the front. I noticed about 1/2” drop or less on my '65 Mustang from the drop after the...

    Length of Resto time?

    I thought Courtney was gone - Is Courtney back on Overhaulin'? I quit watching it after she left. And ........... As far as how long you think it will take to do the resto - double your estimate and you should be in the ballpark (especially after having the baby) -same thing happened...

    List of questions here...

    good questions - may be too many though I don't think these are stupid questions, there were just a lot of questions. I would suggest breaking them up to separate posts, that way a body expert can tell you what they think about the panels (I would recommend pics), and an AC guy (probably...

    I would go here ...... Go to Opentracker Racing Products Opentracker Racing Products They can put a kit together depending on what you want. I would also do the 1" UCA Arning drop while I had all this stuff off the car. I would also definitely get a roller idler arm and roller...

    windshield install time!

    You have to use sealant You must use sealant. Do not use any silicone, as it will eventually shrink and cause more leaks. Use 3M bedding/glazing compound or butyl windshield sealant. I have always used the butyl because that is what was on the originals, but it is nasty stuff. NAPA carries...

    are AMC Javelin & 71-73 Mustang cousins?

    t_chelle has a good point Really - and if you look at the evolution of the original Trans-Am race cars (Boss Mustang, Camaro Z-28) the Javelin SST was exactly that. AMC was trying to compete in racing and market share with those pony cars. The Javelin morphed a little in '71 - just like...
