    Headlight Halogen Sealed Beam H6024

    I'm not familiar w/ that specific product but it seems to be everything you'd need and if it costs less than the Painless than it sounds like a good bet. I went w/ the Painless because I have used their products before but I would go w/ this one since it really is a simple system and saves $$...

    Headlight Halogen Sealed Beam H6024

    Nice write-up. Had I seen that when I was having problems I would have done it myself, but I have no regrets w/ the Painless. Good link!

    Headlight Halogen Sealed Beam H6024

    I have Sylvannia Halogens on my car and they were so dim I installed aftermarket driving lights so I could see the road. I eventually installed a Painless headlight relay kit and it made all the difference in the world. We're dealing w/ 40 yr old wiring and switches in our cars and they just...

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    That looks great. I really like the contours of the standard dash. The plus w/ the Year One dash is you can get 6 gauges in but it's nice to have the 2 5/8" gauges. The additional gauges could be placed below the radio where the ash tray is or an A pilar pod if they make them for '69/70s...

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    Ok, another option: Has anyone used aftermarket gauges in a stock '69/70 dash panel?

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    That looks very cool. I was thinking about just leaving the woodgrain decal off when I get new panels but that looks great, especially w/ the matching dash! Maybe one day I'll get to my interior. So much to do, so little time and $. :(

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    Wow, great minds think alike, lol. Those are the exact gauges I'm planning on using. I'll bet they look great w/ the carbon fiber. I was thinking about painting the panel and the passenger side inset silver but am worried the gauges may not stand out enough You used an elec speedo...

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    No probelm. I'm assuming that the gauges mount inset into the opening, is that right? Priced out a set of Ultra-lites and the panel should be around $700. That's half of the JME unit. Sold. What gauges are you installing in yours Jerry?

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    Jerry, the pod looks great w/ the carbon fiber. Have you already installed it? If so, do you have any pics?

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    I've been looking into this as well. I've looked at both the JME and Year One pods. I like the JME pod best because of it's contour, the arrangement of the aux gauges and their size (2 5/8" as opposed to Year Ones 2 1/8"), but it's too expensive. The Year One pod is priced right but not quite...

    Sloppy steering

    I have manual steering and have had the steering box adjusted which helped a lot but there is still quite a bit of play. I'm assuming it is the original steering box and was thinking about putting in a new one. My question is how difficult is this to do? Also, should I install a close ratio...

    Love the stance! I've only cut 1/2 a coil off but that's 620 springs. I'm running 235/15R60s up front and plan on doing the drop and wanted to make sure there wouldn't be a problem with the cut springs. Once I do the drop I may cut more spring if needed.

    Zookeeper: I'm would like to do the UCA drop on my '70 but was concerned about whether my springs would be ok. I has 1" lower 620 springs that I have cut an additional 1/2 coil off. Is this similar to what you have?

    Line loc works!

    Easier than I thought it would be. I think it might depend upon what your current brake arrangement is and whether any changes need to be made w/ the loc. I was lucky that what I already had worked fine.

    Line loc works!

    Finished installing my line loc and took it out for a test. It seems to work.

    Looky what I found on ebay!!!

    The car sits sooo high w/ those wheels it looks like it's 4WD so maybe the blocks were intentionally put under the springs so the Rancho shocks would fit, lol. Hope the chevy guys don't see that. Wonder if any of his friends drive Camaros? We could only hope.

    Small town car show

    Sounds like a Show n Shine. I'd say take it. It looks like your car is pretty nice even if you feel there are things remaining to be done. My car is in similar condition (mechanicals done but needs interior and body is good from 20'). I take it to many local shows and usually get trophies...

    I just installed sequential led tail lights......pics and video......

    Looks great! I'm in the process of researching LED light panels myself and was leaning towards Mustang Projects kit as well. It seemed like overall they were the best value. The end result looks awesome and it'll be nice not to cringe everytime I hit the brakes with someone behind me.

    T-5 swap - cable/hyd, yoke/shaft??

    Ahh, that makes sense. So, I can delete that from my list. Thanks

    T-5 swap - cable/hyd, yoke/shaft??

    I had the same thoughts on both issues. The only thing I'll have to check is the cost difference in welding a steal vs. alum shaft. If it's a big diff then I'll just use my original one. I also checked out the hyd clutch kit in the classified section. The reason he is selling it is he's...
