    Wet feet!

    Thanks, Pakrat. I did check the how to link and think it's something I can definetly do "someday". Believe me, I understand what is involved in owning a 40 year old car. This is acually my second classic stang. I had a 69 when I was 16 and a lot "dumber" than I am now.....having to have...

    Wet feet!

    I agree Pakrat that it should be done right....but like you said, this is the most expensive repair for pros to do, and I'm sure there is a reason for that! I'm very inexperienced with this type of stuff, but hope to gain more knowledge over time and be able to tackle such a job. But, for...

    Wet feet!

    Thanks, guys. Where can you find the cowl covers? Are they hard to install? How long will it take to repair? I checked the link, thanks Pakrat......wow, what a job! What can happen over time if I leave this unrepaired? Obviously the rust may spread, but where and how serious could it turn...

    Wet feet!

    What to do with rusty headers??

    Yeah, I thought about that. I thought about possibly sand blasting as well. I just wonder how long before they rust again?? Can I apply anything to them to dress them up? Isn't there header paint? I've heard someone say that the wrap traps the heat so much that it may cause the headers to...

    What to do with rusty headers??

    Can anyone tell me what the pros and cons are of using ceramic header wrap?? Or, is there anything else I can do to clean up my rusty headers? I of course thought paint, but didn't know how long it would last and if it was worth the trouble. I've heard good and bad about header wrap, the bad...

    Ever seen a piston disintegrate?????

    I have a 65 coupe with a 289. While driving on the highway the other day, the valve on the 7 cyliner decided to drop down into the cylinder causing the piston to stick, blowing two large holes into the cylinder wall and disentegrating the piston itself. I found shavings and pieces all through...

I want the real deal, but for the time being I was wondering if this would get me by. Do they look decent or are they...

    I have 1965 Mustang coupe, V8. I'm looking for a front driver's side spindle with no luck. I've tried ebay and specialty shops as well as some salvage yards. Can anyone help?!? Will a spindle from another year or even another car altogether work? Thanks for any help!!
