    It's always something. Now what do I do?

    Reading Gregskis and Rustys threads have inspired me to dig into my car while the front suspension is off. I thought I might do a west coast/east coast kind of thing to see who gets done faster - me or Gregski. Only my threads won't be near as entertaining. And I can't find my camera. Oh...

    Fuel filler tube cleanup

    But where does that stop, it's only $10 for a new battery tray, only $15 each for new bumper support arms, $20 for this, $10 for that, it adds up in a hurry all these little items. Plus I hear a lot about the reproduction stuff not having the same fit and having to work with it to make it work...

    Fuel filler tube cleanup

    While I'm in the process of changing the fuel tank, I want to clean up the fuel filler tube. It looks like it is galvanized steel? It has rust and some kind of white corrosion inside, I'm taking that and a box of some other parts to a buddies house to sandblast, is this a good idea on this...

    Splash shield removal

    I'm looking to remove the splash shields to inspect metal condition behind them on my '65. I started on the right rear one, and found two screws that I removed but still can't get them to budge. How many screws are there? I do see what looks like a third screw, but its the threaded end...

    bleeding early 302 cooling system

    It's been a while since I changed a thermostat. Didn't they used to come like that?

    Clutch chatter advice please

    The tube portion of my z-bar actually started ripping at the flat bar weld, opening up just enough when I was on the clutch that it would cause some chatter. Got it re-welded and fixed the problem. Check and make sure that nothing looks weird in the entire stroke of the clutch linkage, have...

    1966 to 2011 Conversion

    There was a guy in Australia that used to post on here (Marshall maybe?) that was doing some pretty neat stuff on the interior and engine bay, but I can't remember him doing any body work like you describe. I remember him writing about the modern dash he was using being too wide, he had to cut...

    Is Versaille rear a bad idea?

    Really, it's a matter of opportunity, not necessarily need. One popped up in the local trader that a guy had in his '66 that he removed to return the car to stock for his Nephew, so theoretically it should be a bolt in to my '65. My 8" rear has sat for a number of years, who knows what...

    Master Cylinder Suggestions

    they are the 68-70 spindles. I actually bought a setup from a guy in Ohio that included GW upper and lower arms, with the spindles/brakes, etc. It came with a bump steer corrector on the tie rod end, so the geometry shouldn't be an issue. the guy from Ohio pulled everything off he was racing...

    Is Versaille rear a bad idea?

    Considering purchasing a 9" versaille rear with factory discs and a 3.40 trac loc center section, that had previously been installed in a '66 Mustang. Some of the threads I've looked at seem to indicate that parts are hard to find and there may be better choices out there. Price seems right on...

    Master Cylinder Suggestions

    I'm going with '68-'70 discs on the front and likely a versaille rear disc setup. What Master Cylinder should I go with, and should I get one of the adjustable proportioning valves? Anybody see any problems with this setup? I'm in parts collecting mode right now and haven't fully installed...

    Leaf spring change Q's

    I've read some writeups on the procedure and what will likely go wrong, so I'm prepared for the inevitable but still hopeful they will just pop right out. I'm still wondering about where to put the jackstands. Just seems awfully crowded right there beside the leaf spring.

    Leaf spring change Q's

    I have some mid-eyes to put in my '65, I started by just seeing if I could get the front eye bolts to move. So far I have the nut off of one side, I put a socket extension on the bolt and hit it with a hammer, no movement but that may be because I still have the weight of the car on it. I do...

    '99 Cobra Seats in a '65

    Nevermind. I found some pretty good stuff through another forum. Still curious about the price, though.

    '99 Cobra Seats in a '65

    Would '99 Cobra seats be too difficult to fit into a '65 coupe? Someone local has a set of leather ones with the power rail, which I assume that it means it comes with the full power. They have the seatbelt clip sticking out a little bit, so I'm thinking they are from a vert. I plan some...

    Early Style 289 Timing Cover

    Is there a definite correlation between the aluminum water pump early style timing cover and the 5 bolt bellhousing? I've got the early style timing cover, but I can't ever tell if I'm counting the bellhousing bolts correctly (engine is in the car) to know if I have the 5 or 6 bolt. Is there...

    Should I Buy It? Not a classic but a mustang.

    I was thinking of going this route a year or so ago, then the furnace went on my house so I had to put off for a little while. One thing I found is an issue with the spark plugs snapping off in the heads when removed, and I think it costs about $200 per plug to fix. There was a redesign on the...

    Thanks for the replies. I figured I would give them a couple weeks before I start freaking out.
