    '70 disks on a '65

    Say I found a set of '70 spindles with rotors/calipers complete, tie rods, bump steer corrector, center link, steering box, etc., all taken off a '66 that was going to a full Griggs setup. I'm guessing all those issues would be worked out. I guess my biggest concern was when I looked at them...

    '70 disks on a '65

    Who has this combo, and how is it? Does in change the track width any over the kits? Found a slightly used setup I'm thinking about getting, but I don't know much about it. Any insight would be appreciated.

    Negative Wedge Arms/Shelby (Arning) drop

    Interesting. The GW lowers have a heim joint connection, so that should take care of any bind there. I already have the bolt hitting the header problem with the Opentracker uppers, so I'm prepared to deal with that. Not sure why ride height would be more with the GW uppers than stock. Not...

    Negative Wedge Arms/Shelby (Arning) drop

    Just got word back from Global West - they said go with the shelby drop. Anybody out there think this is a bad idea to go with this equipment on a street car?

    Negative Wedge Arms/Shelby (Arning) drop

    Basically, a potential good deal. I've got Opentrackers street arms that he rebuilds and welds the tab on to prevent backing off, they are installed (mostly) but have zero miles. Found a deal with GW upper and lower arms, a full disk brake package (not sure which one), grab a track mid eye 4...

    Negative Wedge Arms/Shelby (Arning) drop

    I was thinking of switching to the Global West upper A-arms. My car is already drilled for the 1" lower Shelby/Arning drop. Would I have to patch/fill in those holes and redrill, or could I run the Global West arms in the Shelby holes without too much issue? I would think drilling the 1-3/4"...

    Late model seat ?

    I'd love to know how this turns out. You can shorten the seat pans, but it invloves some metal work probably beyond my skills. I'm thinking I remember Mustangs Plus having a how to on that on their website or maybe in an old catalog. Whether you can get enough height out for the late model...

    Drilling for Shelby drop

    And you're looking at the correct side of the template. Punch the holes before you drill to help keep bit from walking. Don't just measure twice, cut once, measure about 4 times, 'cause if you screw this up, it's a more than a minor inconvenience to fix. I used an 1/8" bit, then 1/4" bit...

    Wheel & Brake Kit Combination

    Check streetortrack.com's writeup concerning brake upgrades and wheels. What I have read indicates the Mustang Steve brackets and stock cobra rotors won't work with the TT II's (but will work with other rims) without spacers. streetortrack has a different rotor with a taller hat that will...

    Can you get a set of golf clubs in the trunk?

    Damn, what's with the troll comment. I'm just trying to figure out if this is something I should do. I've been driving a truck for the past 16 years, I just want to make sure I'm getting something that I want and that will meet my needs. And there's no place to store golf clubs in a truck...

    Can you get a set of golf clubs in the trunk?

    May be the deciding factor on getting a new Stang, whether a set of golf clubs in a cart bag will easily fit into the trunk. anybody tried? that opening looks awful small. And this would be on a coupe, so at least that would be going for me. and please, no lame golf jokes.:nono:

    What would you guys do?

    The other factor that I didn't mention is that I have two young daughters, age 4 and 6. I couldn't drive anywhere with them (which is most of my driving) due to lack of seat belts in the back. My 'Stang didn't even come with lap belts in the back, let alone that I would need to fab in shoulder...

    Can someone explain/verify this for me?

    Cool. Thanks.

    What would you guys do?

    I have a '65 coupe that I drove in college that's been sitting in my garage undriven for 16 years. I was at Myrtle Beach weekend before last for the first part of Mustang Week, now I really have the bug to do something. My biggest issue is not having time to work on it (for example, it's taken...

    Can someone explain/verify this for me?

    I test drove an '06 Premium yesterday, black on black, with only 5K miles. The guy selling it is actually an independent dealer, he's had it for the last 2 months and put the last 1K miles on it. Anyway, he pulled up the carpet in the trunk, and the sheetmetal was actually painted a greenish...

    Spark Plug issue

    Any thoughts on whether the spark plug issue on the 2005-2007's is caused by time or heat cycles? Say I find an '06 with 5,000 miles, would it be more or less likely than a higher mileage engine to have a problem? I'm thinking the issue is corrosion related, so the time element would drive it...

    Thinking of getting another Mustang

    I've looked at most of the local dealers websites, all they have listed are Shelby's and Roush's, oddly enough, anywhere from $32K to $65K+.

    Thinking of getting another Mustang

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I haven't bought a used car in 21 years, so I'm a little aprehensive about doing it for fear of getting someone elses junk/lemon. I'm also looking for info on models to avoid as I know from experience that I definitely want a five speed, mainly a cruiser but...

    Thinking of getting another Mustang

    I'm a long time Mustang fanatic and have had a '65 coupe for nearly 20 years. I'm starting to get the bug to add another pony to the stable. I really don't like the tail lights on the 2010's, so I'm thinking of looking for a nice used 2005-2009. I want GT trim as a minimum, and don't really...

    Workshop Welder

    I want to get a welder for my home garage to learn to weld with to do things like work on the stang and whatever hosehold chores I can come up with to use it for. I was looking at the Lincoln Electric Pro-MIG-140. It's 120V, which means I won't have to do any additional wiring in my house...
