    TCP Subframe Connectors & Magnaflow Exhaust

    Sounds like a custom exhaust is a must with the SFC and Xbrace. Is the Dr. Gas X-crossover stainless or mild steel? Anyone know how much it is? Thanks

    TCP Subframe Connectors & Magnaflow Exhaust

    Has anyone tried to install the Total Control subframe connectors with the center x-brace AND the Magnaflow stainless X-pipe exhaust kit? If so, did it fit without cutting up one or the other?

    remove shock towers in my perfect 68 fastback or no?

    So I have this straight--you currently have three 67-68 fastbacks, one is nice J Code, one a GT S Code, one a C code? If you are that attached to the J Code and it is that nice, keep it with bolt ons. Go crazy on the C code. Sell the S code. I have the same emotional attachment (or emotional...

    Jacking the Cobra

    My 96 has been lowered. I use my hydraulic floor jack with a rubber pad on the contact point. I start with the rear lifting just enough to get the stands under the rear axle. I lift with the jack placed under the rear diff/center section. The handle only jacks a small amount each pump as the...

    Anybody know anything about these?

    Hey--I was trying to pull the location out if him!!! I noticed he is quite the photographer--not even one license plate is visible in any of the pictures (if any of the cars even have plates). Notice the strategically placed tire in front of the 70 Mach? :( OK, I give--NBF stands for...

    Anybody running a toploader in a '69-70?

    I had a toploader with a Hurst Competition Plus that I installed to replace the factory shifter. I didn't have any problems other than worn out synchros in 3rd gear (not related to installing the Hurst shifter in any way). After reading the other posts--I do have long arms, so I never noticed...

    Metallic Paint Problems, Please HELP!!!

    It sounds like you have a lot of experience with many refinish products. However, the first statement is absolutely not true--I work for Akzo Nobel, we formulated and manufacture Sikkens paint. There is no lacquer here. Lacquer is as aggressive as you get--that is why we clean our guns with...

    1967 Fastback Needs Some Work

    I think it is too good to be true. I of course sent an email and have been waiting days for my reply from Mr. Abdu Jabbar, a high ranking diplomat from the Kenya, Africa's International Diplomatic Emirate offices. He has a special proposition for me....

    Metallic Paint Problems, Please HELP!!!

    What you are saying may be a problem with low quality paint products, but good urethane clears will not lift with new basecoat applied over them. The problem with lifting is when you have sanded through the clear and the existing basecoat is re-wet by a new application of basecoat. The...

    Is this what I think it is???

    I hope the fit of the panels is better than the Camaro they had in their booth last year at SEMA. I would have been embarrassed to display it with trunk gaps ranging from 3/16" on the edge/middle to 5/16"+++ in the corners of the trunk. The doors weren't any better. Regardless, this is...

    73 power drain

    This just happened on my 73--the dome light was stuck on and killed my battery. No amount of opening/closing doors or turning the headlight switch would fix it. What fixed it was to open the drivers door, then depress the door jamb switch completely with my finger. I heard a distinct click...
