    How Much To Paint Stripes On 67 Clone

    How much should I expect painting le mans stripes would add to the cost of my paint job? I am finally getting my 67 FB shelby clone painted after 5 years worth of work ( and collecting dust ). It has been blasted, rusted metal cut out and replaced and shelby fiberglass added. I have a price...

    Shock Tower Replacement And Mustang Ii Front End

    Do you use different motor mounts with this kit or will the stock 67 ones work? I have not been on this forum for a couple of years waiting for my 67 shelby clone to be painted, this seems like a pretty good price to upgrade the front end...

    Does anyone know where to get the half round nut that sits in the fender apron? I looked in a few catalogs and did not see it. Is it hard to get out? Thanks, Mike...

    Starting problem

    Have you checked your vacuum hoses? Check vacuum and timing. If both are correct then you might have 2 unrelated issues, one with the starting system and one probably with the fuel system.

    Fan hitting shroud

    Another thing to check is your fan size. If you just added a shroud to a car that did not previously have one and the previous owner installed a larger fan then that could be your problem. I can't remember the size of what the fan should be, seems like 17 inches. I had the same problem years...

    Power steering squeal

    That's exactly what I was going to suggest: a pry bar with a rag wrapped around it to avoid any damage. Good call! Posted via Mobile Device

    Power steering squeal

    Did you just replace the belt? If so then the new belt is too long if you cannot adjust it any tighter. If it's the same belt that has been on the car then it's stretched and needs to be replaced. Posted via Mobile Device

    Fan hitting shroud

    The 67's had a different bracket and different mount than the 68's. If someone has changed the motor in the past and used the incorrect mounts then that could be the problem. If you get 68 mounting brackets and motor mounts you should be fine according to all that I have read. I have not...

    Fan hitting shroud

    Did you have an existing shroud you replaced or is this a new installation? My 67 did the same thing. I think the previous owner used the wrong motor mounts, 67's had their own specific mounts. You could try to space your fan closer to the motor and see if that helps.

    Weather strip on FG rear deck lid

    Reenmachine--did you use any trunk weatherstrip or any special brand? The body shop is fitting my doors and trunk lid now and asked me for the weatherstip pieces. If they put the weatherstrip on before paint wont they have to be removed and reinstalled after paint? Probably would be destroyed...

    Does painless really not hurt?

    I just received the 67 specific painless harness this past week. Looks really good. I kept thinking I wanted the factory replacement but after much research and advice from painless's forum I decided to get their kit. It looks really good. The factory underdash part was going to be as much...

    67 fb factory wire harness question

    I guess my real question is how much time do you save by using a factory harness vs. a painless one? Not really interested in doing any power upgrades. Thanks..
