    3 pt seat belt question

    You've got two options. 1) Weld a nut / structure to the roof. This will mess up the paint and is the most difficult choice, but some people prefer the pivot above their shoulder 2) Mount it to the back of the door jamb. This doesn't require welding, just drill a hole, and make a backing...

    Welder Question

    For the average garage welder, a 135amp 110v unit will be fine. The 220v welders are more powerful, but its usually not needed unless you're welding 1/4" thick or more stuff all the time. Getting a gas setup definately helps clean up the welds. Visit your local metal yard and ask for scraps...

    efi swap, what fuel pump?

    I'm using a junkyard one from a Merkur Turbo EFI. I mounted it in the isolation bracket from the Merkur to keep it quiet. You can barely hear it with the engine off, can't hear it all with the engine running.

    Export brace options...

    Psy - The canister is a Tefba coolant filter. The cap unscrews and there is a mesh screen inside that is removeable to clean. Very similar to the Gano filter, but you can clean the screen of the Tefba filter without dumping coolant everywhere. Here's a link that describes it better.

    Or if you can weld, you can make your own for EFI. Details of how I made it are at my website.

    EFI conversions

    I've got pictures and some helpful links on my website. I also have a cable type throttle pedal that I was about to list for sale if you're interested.

    Kick Panel Speakers

    I'm not really sure how to get a grained look if you didn't want to use vinyl. Perhaps after you got the bondo nice and smooth, you could spray on one of the textured paints. Sort of like doing the texture on sheetrock in your home. It wouldn't match the grain on the door panels, but it...

    Car audio- NOT CUSTOM AUTOSOUND

    Like Norcal said, at least $200 for a head unit, and about $100 for a good sub. Do you want two subs, or just one? I went with two for looks only, but a single sub with enough power is more than enough unless you want to compete. Going with a single sub will save you some money. As for...

    Car audio- NOT CUSTOM AUTOSOUND

    Everything was bought online for about $1100 I think. It's possible to power the front and rear speakers as well as the subs with one 5 channel amp, but you usually don't get much power to the subs this way unless you spend a bunch of money on the amp. Most people get two amps, one four...

    Car audio- NOT CUSTOM AUTOSOUND

    65straight- the amps have a clear plexiglass cover over them. Anytime I put something in the trunk, I have two carpeted inserts that protect the plexiglass from scratches. cardude- I built the boxes with the subs pointing aft for looks. The sound is pretty much the same either direction...

    5.0 EFI swappers...

    I probably needed 3 gallons of #30. 68conv. has quite a list. Way better than I can do. His list is a great example of why you should try to get as much as possible off a donor if thats the route you go. Gas pedal, alternator, sensors, anything you can grab. Depending on how worn the engine...

    Pros and cons of owning older Mustang 65 especially

    If you did the modifications in your signature, then you're mechanical enough to handle an early car. If you bought the car that way and wouldn't dream of doing those mods, stick to the later models. An early car can be built to be a reliable and reasonably safe driver. That was the goal I...

    Wiring questions about putting a 5.0 in my '65 convertible

    How comfortable are you with reading wiring diagrams and splicing into wiring? If you're fairly comfortable and knowledgable about automotive wiring, you can save ~$400 or so over buying a harness. The wiring was definately the most difficult task, but you don't have to be an electrical...

    5.0 HO in '66 Coupe

    Very good catch John. Converting from a I6 to a 5.0 adds a bunch of other issues.

    5.0 HO in '66 Coupe

    Can you do the wiring mods yourself? If so, you can probably pick up a 5.0 with all wiring and computer for about $500-700. Maybe $300-400 for a T5 tranny. Then add about $300-400 for misc. stuff like fuel pump, fuel line, radiator mods (or new radiator) and basic tune up stuff. $1500 would...
