    Food for Thought

    This is very true. I have never spent ALL of my money on a car. Even when I was 16, I had saved enough money to buy a 95 GT and still have plenty left over. Since then I have saved enough to buy each of my cars in cash. I refuse to buy something I literally can't afford. I have always...

    Has anyone used this to convert to disk brakes?

    Man, the best thing (IMO) is to find some Mustang II spindles. I got my spindles (not on my car yet) with caliper cores and all for $20 total. Now all I have to do is buy calipers, rotors, pads and brackets. I also work at O'reilly, and I find it hard to believe you can convert to disc for...

    Food for Thought

    I'm 18, and I know you can get caught up in the moment....... then reality hits..... Being only 18, paying insurance on 2 cars, and working at oreilly doesn't really leave much time for wasting money. I quickly realized while building my car, you can't have the best of everything right away...

    Need help picking out an alternator.

    I put the Dixie GM one wire on mine. Took some customization but it's a lot more simple to wire, and still puts out the power. You can pick them up at O'Reilly. Each store should keep at least one in stock. I can get the part # for you if you need it. -shaun

    Taking out interior

    I just bought a parts car that has nearly perfect interior and a console, shifter, and TONS of other parts. I want to switch the interior out for the stuff in my drivable 69. How do I get started? I've already got the console out, but have no idea how to take the seats and rails off the front...

    good parts car deal

    I'm guessing this is a good deal. I'll be picking the car up next week. It's a 1969 Grande jsut like mine, everything but engine. It's got all the parts for power steering, AC, a 9in rear end, a tranny, all the suspension, a shifter, hopefully a console (crossed fingers), and all kinds of...

    which shifter?

    I jsut realized I don't even have a console. It's just a hump in the floor. I don't know if that's original or not. Beats me... -Shaun

    which shifter?

    Okay, I'm long overdue for a new shifter. I've got a 69 console shifter with an AOD. What's a good shifter to go with? I know I want at least a partial ratchet shifter. What ones will work on the AOD? How easy/hard are they to install? Thanks! -Shaun

    AOD and TV cable

    Okay, I've put an AOD in my car with the 306. We had to custom make a throttle bracket, and we also made it hold the tranny cable. How do you adjust/tune these? Should it be mounted somewhere specific? A specific distance? Right now it holds in some gears too long. Anything will help...

    Just about the worst luck ever......

    No, that's what took so long. I haven't been ghetto rigging at all. The guys that had it before me rigged everything. We basically kind of re-did the car, one thing at a time. Oh well, worst luck ever..... I think I'm parking it for the rest of the year and doing slow restoration -Shaun

    Just about the worst luck ever......

    Quick question. Will Summit warranty my intake manifold? Because I did not over-torque the SOB anyway. I figured it would of just been a bubble in the cast from when they made it. -Shaun

    Just about the worst luck ever......

    UPDATE!!!! My luck actually did get worse lol. Get this...... After rebuilding my entire top end after a football game, the next day, i put the intake, carb, and all the connections on, and started adding water.... It leaked out from where the intake meets the water outlet. So, I reached over...

    Just about the worst luck ever......

    Well, after 3 months of long hard work, and 4 thousand dollars later, I got my car running Saturday. Ran like a champ. I took it to a local muffler shop who built me a custom exhaust from the headers back to an x pipe and out dual 40 series. On the way home that monday....... My head gasket...
