    67 fb gas fill neck/tank install question

    The body shop is putting my car back together. When you look through the taillight panel the fuel fill neck goes in and to the left to the tank. It does not go straight through to the tank. Is this correct? Anyone notice if the fill neck is straight or offset between the taillight panel and...

    67 351w/ will 85 F150 AOD work?

    If I am going to leave in 3rd most of the time I might as well keep my fmx.. When you say I will have to reroute the exhaust around the pan, is that the headers or the exhaust pipes. After I purchase all the additional items to make it work I wonder if its really a good deal? Thanks for the info.

    Insulation inside new door skin

    I want to install something to quiet my doors down, but I am afraid that whatever I install might hold water and cause rust inside the door. Are any of the products out there waterproof?

    67-68 Mustang headlight switch removal?

    There is a button on the back side of the switch that you need to push in order for the knob to pull out. You need to reach behind the dash and feel for it on top of the back side of the switch. It has been a long time, but I think all you need to do is use a flat blade screwdriver in the slot...

    Getting car primered, what are my options?

    I paid $1100 to have my entire car, inside and out media blasted and epoxy primed. The rusted parts ( quarters, floors and outside of the doors) were cut out before it went to the blaster.

    Convertible seat riser in a Fastback

    I thought I saw somewhere that you can use the convertible seat risers in place of the single left and right risers to add stability. Can this be done in my 67 FB and is it worth it?

    Whats the difference???

    My 67 fb is stripped to nothing and it is getting blasted and black epoxied inside, outside and undercarriage. I guess it depends on who you can find to do it and how much. I think any of the methods, powdercoat, epoxy, por 15 all have to be much better than they came from the factory
