    '64-66 Drivers Side Fender

    This is a bump because: 1. I need this piece to leave my garage - soon, and will take any reasonable offer. 2. I am willing to trade for a set of reasonably straight unmolested OE 64-66 bumpers that are in need of rechroming.

    Should I buy new bumpers?

    Buy the repos. If you don't like them, have the OE's replated and try again.

    clutch cable kit

    The Modern cable is way way way stouter than the stock one, but I get excited when I can use OE parts. I've had my car since '84. If I frag a Modern cable and they aren't around, it's a pretty standard industrial cable I can get somebody to make up for me. It's not that big a deal. You...

    clutch cable kit

    I have a modern one. If I had to do it again, I'd use Steve's because it uses a stock cable. I'd skip Ron's. It doesn't have enough mechanical advantage IMO.

    Full Restoration Break In Procedure

    I plan on doing the 50/1/1/5/50 break in procedure. After you get the car absolutely finished, you drive - -50 feet and then fix everything you find wrong, then -1 block, and fix everything you find wrong, then -1 mile, and fix everything you find wrong, then -5 miles, and fix...

    Not So Good Vibrations

    I'll be interested to see what happened. I heard stories from older mechanics about oil pump shafts twist off when mechanics would use wire wheels to remove gaskets and "lose" a wire. It would get in the oil pump and sheer off the shaft. If you have an ARP shaft and you busted it........wow...

    Not So Good Vibrations

    Did you measure it from stock? How much did it change? Mine was fine until I put mid eye springs in (which changed the pinion angle, and not for the better). You should be running a baffled and sumped pan on your car anyway. You can uncover the pickup in 8-9 at Willow pretty easy and...

    Not So Good Vibrations

    Have you ever climbed under a street rod and looked at the driveshaft? The output of the transmission is 3" offset from the input of the rear end. They don't have a vibration problem - because the angles are complementary. You are making this too complicated. With the TKO you lowered your...

    You realize you can fix it at either end, right? As long as you get the angles complementary it'll work.

    Not So Good Vibrations

    Checking pinion angle is pretty easy - if you have a 4 post drive on rack that will allow you to climb under the car while the car is resting on it's own weight. If the angle of the output on the trans is -4 you need to get the input of the rear end to +4. If it's off more than a degree or...

    Need Coil Spring Info

    Are they? It really doesn't matter. There's a lot more to a spring than it's uncompressed length.

    Need Coil Spring Info

    OP: Is your car fully assembled, full of fluids, and moving under it's own power? I have the PMS springs in front of my '65. They were perfect untill I got aluminum heads, intake, headers, and relocated the battery. Then they were too high. I cut half a coil off of the end with the wide...

    What would be the best disc brake swap option for my situation?

    If you're right, your car isn't safe to drive around the block. Take them off, have them hot tanked and magnafluxed. I think you'll be suprised. I've never seen a V-8 spindle fail since 1984. I've seen several six cylinder spindles fail. All of them had the stub sheer off clean where...

    65 mustang, front coil spring cover

    It's a structural piece. You can't get rid of it. On the Mustang II front ends they add the drop bar from the firewall to just in front of the bumper to add the strength back. Those that don't do so at thier own peril. I have a customer who installed the Rod and Custom piece on thier '70...

    What Shocks?

    There are no external adjustments on either of them. The Gas-A-Justs are the sportier version of the two. I think the fronts are OK, but IMO the rears suck. I'm just telling you what I think in my real life experence with this product. If I had to run KYB again, I'd use the GR-2 in the...

    What Shocks?

    I think the KYB's are too stiff. The fronts are OK, but the rears aren't very good. Maybe the GR-2's in the rear.

    Everyone that is looking for GT40P headers

    I disagree. My brother had a car with 2.80 rear gears and a three speed that would flat destroy the tires off idle if you punched it while rolling in gear. His secret? Tri-y headers and the same intake my dad used on his sand drag jeep. His car would float the valves at around 5K and was...
