    5spd or auto?

    I had the same dilemma when I rebuilt my 67. I went with the auto, 4500 miles later I just finished putting in a T5. Ended up costing me A LOT more.

    Borgeson steering box, is it the same as the GM box?

    Outer shock tower removal?

    ya, you'll be fine. It is necessary to remove them to get spring compressors in there to change out your springs. One reason for them is the front A-arm bumper (if you bottom out your suspension) mount to them.

    Master cyl, Pwr or Man?

    You can, but you will have to absolutely stand on the pedal to get it to slow down. The piston size is different so it changes the amount of pressure you need to apply to get your brakes to work.

    Tri-y header options - ground clearance

    it is some sort of thermal coating, but it is rough, it pretty much matches the color and texture of a cast aluminum intake. yeah my car is lowered about 1.5" Like i say, they work with well my 94 T5, and look like they would work perfect with the fox T5s as well, but donno. If you are...

    Tri-y header options - ground clearance

    Have you looked at the Mac long tubes? I have them on my 67, no ground clearance issues and no issues with the clutch cable (my T5 is from a 94 so the cable is lower, but it looks like they would work even better with the fox cable location).

    How to drop my 68 Stang

    One side on my 68 was significantly lower than the other after lowering the front suspension. I was pretty worried thinking that one of the springs had lost spring or something, but it turns out it was just the alinement. After I got it properly alined it was perfectly level. Get it...

    Hey everyone, Its been a while, but here is a quick update. I got everything figured out and installed in the car. I ended up milling both pitman arms down so they would fit together like a puzzle then welding them together. Here are a few pics of the arm, the box all mounted up in the car...

    How to drop my 68 Stang

    Yes, cutting the coils will give you a stiffer ride, but your limited with the I6 springs. Tons of guys upgrade springs, look around and I'm sure you can find some V8 ones for dirt cheap.

    How to drop my 68 Stang

    with I6 suspension and a V8 it will probably lower it a little more than the 1.5" per link. sorry missed that part.

    How KH factory disc brakes compare to modern/aftermarket

    Thanks for the info chepsk8, I would be interested in reading your article. I think I will stick with my stock ones. Like you say, they work pretty good. I did rebuild them about 6 years ago, but reused the same pistons, just changed the o-rings etc. 67GTFB I looked on ssbc's website but...

    How KH factory disc brakes compare to modern/aftermarket

    Saw a similar thread on another forum and would just like to get a little more input. I have a '67 with the factory 4 piston power disk brakes. I was planning on replacing them with some 05+ 12.5" mustang front discs, but now I am kind of reconsidering. Would I see much improvement over...

    Sanding advice needed

    if sanding, you should use a coarse grit like 36 and slow rpm to avoid heating and warping the metal. I would suggest buying a chemical paint remover instead. you can get them at any auto parts store. They will take care of most of it for you without causing any damage to the metal, then you...
