    Swapping my transmission

    Well I think Im going to have more problems with it in the future. For one, it's a little sloppy - The dip stick for it, is going to be in the way of my long-tube headers. I cant get a rachet shifter for this model (Havent found any yet that is) Havent had much luck with the stall either...

    Swapping my transmission

    Well as it turns out I have a FMX transmission - Always thought it was a C4. Well there doesnt seem to be a ton available for the aftermarket with the FMX, so I'll be switching it out for a C4 MY Question: Is there anything else I'll need to change out when doing this swap? Will my "teeth"...

    sound insulator

    I used the peel n seal stuff from lowes. Worked fine for me. It seems to be holding up pretty well too, however on my floor I have some matting down on top of it as well. The strips I put on the door seem to be holding up OK as well.

    Mech. Temp Question

    Thanks for the info. At least now I know where to look. If I could trouble you once more though, Im posting some photos just for clairification. Are these the two areas you were speaking of? They both look like they are electrical (am I correct on that?) If Im looking in the correct...

    water gauge Q.

    Could someone tell me the best place to put the sensor for an elec. water gauge. Also, while Im at it. I read a writeup on an oil gauge install and they put their sensor in where the drain plug used to be. Is this OK to do?

    Prepping to paint PICs(warning)

    Looks great.. I am enjoying your write up as I am also about to do my first "full car" paint job. I used to help a buddy out doing touchup's and repainting bumbers etc. But never a full car. Out of curiosity, how much paint and clear did you go through on that job? Any hints that you...

    Tire Question on 17's

    I have to agree - 255 seems pretty wide.. I was thinking 235? I think im leaning towards doing a 18x8 in rear and 17x7 up front. The price for 17x8 is outragous compared to the 18's - I can get tires cheap so not too worried about that..

    Tire Question on 17's

    Not my first choice, I have someone who has some rims that they will give me for $250 - they are actually 7.5 rims.. I'd love to have some nice rims for $250 - If they are only .5" off of 8" then would it be really that bad? Also can get 18x8 for $350 from same guy. Might go with these...

    Tire Question on 17's

    What would be the widest tire I could run in the rear of a 68 coupe with a 17x7 wheel? Am i dumb to think I could get an aggresive stance with a 17x7 all around? Also some Q's 2 posts down on a 18x8..

    Got my Wheels set - now tires.

    Just checked out the 1010 site. I was comaparing the dimensions of the tires, and it stated that I would need a 8.5 - 9" rim to run a 255... Is that correct? I thought I heard of plenty guys here running 255 on a 8" rim... Also anyone running a 255/45/17? I think I'd like the extra width...

    Got my Wheels set - now tires.

    I too dont believe in the same size tire. This is just a cruiser - I've decieded to keep it easy and go with 17x8 on all 4 corners... Now should I go with 255/45 (or is it 40 not sure) on rear and 235/40 on front? I want an agresive stance - will be doing the grab-a-trak suspension.

    Wheel shopping, need some advice

    19stang - Well from what I've experienced... Chrome is SO.....much easier to maintain. Wipe down and go. Polished wheels are a lot of work. I was always polishing. I have heard that you can put something on your polished wheels to make the shine last longer in between polishes, but im not...

    Got my Wheels set - now tires.

    My bad guys... she's a 68.. :D But I just noticed as i was checking out. I can get the 17x8 for the 68 stang, but the 17x9 said it was as follows: +24mm offset (5.95" backspacing) - fits Mustang 1994-2004 with 5x4.50" (5x114.3mm) lug-pattern. Can I use the 17x9 or better to just...

    Got my Wheels set - now tires.

    I went with TT2 (of course) 17x8 in front and 17x9 in rear. I like the agresive stance, what size tires should I go with? I've been reading 235/45 front and 275/45 rear? Is that correct? Any better combinations out there?
