    Resto Mod color choice?

    I wouldn't go with a cowl hood if I were you, stick with the GT-350 hood. As for the paint, I think black with silver stripes would look great. There are so many white with blue and blue with white (Not that it doesn't look good). You should also check into which R-model apron you like better...

    C4 to T5 transmission swap

    Thanks to everyone for the responses. Anyone who has done this swap before or is planning on doing it, be sure to let me know how everything goes. I can't afford any surprises if I decide to go through with it, so any help is greatly appreciated. Also, for anyone with a T-5, what kind of gas...

    C4 to T5 transmission swap

    Whats up guys, I am seriously considering swapping my ailing C4 with a T5 this summer in preparation for much more freeway driving. I am by no means a skilled mechanic, but I think with the right resources I could pull it off. If anybody has done this swap or knows of good web...

    Air trapped in cooling system

    I'm having a strange gurggling noise when I first start up my car. It goes away almost completely after warmed up. Sounds like rushing water. I'm sure its air trapped in the coolant system because I just replaced the radiator and the coolant. I am also experiencing some mild overheating issues...

    Fuel Tank Gauge

    I'm having a problem with my fuel gauge. Whenever I fill up my tank, the gauge only reads half full. The gauge goes all the way to empty after about 100 miles, and then I have no idea how much gas is in the tank. I know its not the sending unit, I bought a new one to test it, and it does the...

    Fan shroud question

    Hey guys- I bought a new radiator to replace my leaky one and decided to put a fan shroud on it as well. Everything was bought from the same mustang parts dealer and is supposedly a stock replacement for a '66 V8. I got all the necessary brackets (4 of them) and 4 long screws as well. Can...

    fender rolling

    I need to roll my front fenders. What is the best way to do this without causing significant paint damage or warping the fenders. I have heard about the baseball bat method, will that really do the trick?

    Tire rubbing

    Thanks for the advice dodgestang, but my car is a daily driver. Would you still recommend that alignment? Or would the wear on the tires be too much? I have decided that I am definately doing the shelby drop, since it is free and can be undone if necessary. Thanks to everyone for all the good...

    Tire rubbing

    I have been reading alot about the shelby drop procedure and i think it is something that even inexperienced me can handle. I just need someone to confirm that doing this on a 66 coupe will move the tires about 1/4" inside the wheel well and only 1" drop. I don't want the front to be lower than...

    Tire rubbing

    Thanks for all the quick responses. The tire size is 225 60 15, I do believe the alignment may be off, and it does not have a shelby drop. I'm not sure when the last time the front suspension has been replaced ( I bought the car a year ago), but I definately think the coils and shocks are worn...

    Tire rubbing

    I just bought some 15x7 torq thrust II's with BFG radial t/a's, and the look AMAZING. The only problem: the fronts are rubbing the fenders. They rub pretty good on dips and quick bumps, especially when i have passengers. Has anyone had this problem and how did they solve it? I'm thinking about...

    Going to pomona meet on sunday... anyone else going?

    I was thinking about going, but my uncle and cousin bailed. I think I'll go to the beach instead. I'm not buying anything for my mustang right now anyway, I'm mad at it. I'll be there in two months though.

    Electrical problems? PLEASE HELP

    2nd mustang : I didn't have an amplifier put in. All I am using is a 200W stereo with kick panel speakers and two 6" rear sony speakers. I'm still new to mustangs and cars in general, so I took my car to a guy I know that specializes in auto electronics. He told me that the alternator is...

    Electrical problems? PLEASE HELP

    I am about to go crazy. I bought a 200W stereo from Circuit City and had them install it (my first mistake). They completely screwed up. My gauge lights wouldn't work, the stereo would not shut off when the car was turned off, and my battery kept dying. I took it back to Circuit City (my second...
