    Blasting

    I have been working on a car and we have used mostly chemical strippers and sandpaper to get the old coats of paint off. In the engine bay, we resorted to blasting at home, which was very time consuming. This car is for my younger brother, so I don't mind him doing hard work. I'm getting ready...

    Built a Rotisserie

    I had a local steel yard price the materials to build the one the common internet plans show and it was going to cost between $500-$600 in steel alone. I decided I'll keep checking craigslist until I find a decent deal. Looks good though.

    Underhood Paint Questions

    I think the idea came from a few different magazine features where the engine bay was painted in the body color. I personally think black por-15 is sufficient. The engine bay is completely bare metal now, lots of stripping and a cutting disc. Everything is completely out, just not sure if I...

    Underhood Paint Questions

    I'm just about ready to coat the engine bay of one of my cars. This car is being built for my younger brother, so I'm trying to keep cost down, but hes 15 so labor is free. :D. I was going to use Por-15 on the engine bay, and the entire front half of the car. I've used it before and it was...

    Brake Conversion

    I've got a couple questions regarding brakes. I've read through just about every previous post, but want to clear things up. I am trying to deal with the rear first because it is off the car right now. The rear end is a 9", that was installed by the previous owner. I am not sure if it is small...

    I found the ultimate junkyard seats

    I can't believe they want $66 for each bracket from summit. I'll have to check out some wrecking yards and see if I can find a set of the seats for a fair price. Good info. Thanks.

    Body Work Question

    I looked at that exact one. I didn't really think about having a machine shop make it. I have an account a big steel distributor, so I know I can get the steel at decent prices. They even said they will cut it to size. I'll have to stop by a machine shop or two and chat; see what they would...

    Body Work Question

    I know it's tough to do, I tried it back in high school on a 67 and they most definately cracked. I like the seamless look, but I'll probably just leave em alone. It's going to be enough work just getting the end caps to fit and look good. Next question, Who makes a good rotisserie? I know I...

    About this car on eBay 68 fastback

    I'd say the top price would be 15k, with 12k being fair. One thing I've found lately in the used mustang world is that every engine and transmission was recently rebuilt. :rolleyes: Barring some documentation, I'd just figure on one or the other needing some work also.

    Body Work Question

    I'm not much for doing body work, but wanted a couple opinions after seeing it done on other cars. I want to add the trunk lid spoiler and extensions, but I wanted to smooth out the line between the quarter and the extension. How should I do it? Weld it?? I also wanted to get rid of the line...

    Anyone Know About RRS Suspension ?

    Tried to get some stuff from them once before and it was a hassle that led to an eventual cancellation. Although just the other day I inquired about something and they responded quickly.

    302 Build Ideas

    So I bought a couple 67 coupes yesterday and they came with a few different goodies in terms of spare engine parts. I want to build a nice engine for one of the cars. I try not to do anything with engines and leave it to the pro's, but I want to atleast have some background before I start...

    Loss of Steering

    Been forever since I've had a reason to post here, but I just picked up another mustang to tinker with. I'll have to post some pictures later, but it's a 67 coupe with a 289. Nothing fancy, just a solid rust free car to start with. Had a couple questions on some minor issues... 1. How hard is...

    Blown head gasket costs

    Im almost positive that my car has a blown head gasket. Because im so f'in annoyed with the car, im taking it to a shop to deal with it on monday. If this is actually the case, what all is required to switch the gaskets? Should I expect them to want to surface the heads or doing any head work...

    Overheating Issue

    Well during the last month the car has been in and out of the shop getting little stuff taken care of. I finally got the car back for a decent amount of time yesterday and ran into a couple issues. First, it seems as if the car has been running tremendously hot since we got it running. Its...

    What are you paying for a new GT500?

    Damn, I went two weeks ago to look at one at the dealer and they were asking $115K. Their was a sold sign on the front, and the manager said they have their first ten sold. Now, I think hes full of ****, because they had a ford GT there for the last year with a sold sign on it. Guess the...

    New Interior pics?

    Im just wondering if anyone has used the new upholstery offered by TMI. Its the pony look, but available on all of the years with matching door panels. Im just wondering if anyone has used it and how satisfied they were with the whole "sport seat" design. Im getting ready to order everything for...

    AOD Speed Sensor

    Hmm ok thanks. I guess I'll never know what the problem is. I ordered a new tranny today, so hopefully it all works out. They were 99% sure it was the TV cable and that burned up the tranny. It goes into the shop thursday and they will either fix the old tranny or install the new one. Either...
