    Rims and tire question

    Alright, so i just came back from the shop. The backspacing checks out with dodgestang's chart. I told him about the rubbing he said ok, he looks at the rear fender lips and points out that there is a lot of bondo there, and was about to cut a bit of the lip off but then hesitated and backed...

    Rims and tire question

    Yah, iskwezm; i just want to make sure before i start accusing him; you know? When i bought the rims he suggested that i buy a product called undercoating and spray it under my chassis. He offered me his lift, and offered to help himself. I thought that was an awesome gesture. After pulling my...

I'm going to go visit him on wed. and i'll ask him if he can take one off...

    Alrighty, i fixed it, with the old hinges on it. I got it almost near perfect, the best that i could do, i used the previous lines left by the old hinge, where the paint cracked to guide me. So the controversy here is between using a new repro hinge, or rebuilding the old one. I've got both a...

    Shop Manual. Paper or electronic?

    I have the electronic version on my laptop, it's nice, you can use the search option which i think is really helpful. Eg. if you're looking for how to take of the emblems you just type emblems in the search bar and it comes up. It does get kinda annoying sometimes to carry around the laptop...

    Rims and tire question

    So i drove it around this weekend (before i messed it up [another thread]) and it was great! I went on a 60 mile drive it was fine, on the way back on the freeway i hit an unexpected bump. I heard a pop kinda sound. Came home, inspected it, the tires rubbed. So, i'm guessing the shocks are...

    I want to replace the curvy piece the spring is connected to. :nonono: Sigh i am kicking myself int he butt right now... the paint got scratched and stuff. Indeed a steep learning curve. So i guess i'll buy a whole lower hinge, cause that thing just doesn't want to come out. So, once i take...

    door help

    Hey guys, So being the perfectionist that i am, i noticed that my passenger door wouldn't stay open, so i bought a door hinge repair kit, i decided to install it today. I took off the door, yay... but i couldn't take a part the hinge. I sprayed wd 40, used a hammer, a screw driver... i just...

    Rims and tire question

    Eh. I'm not sure, the rubbing never happened when i was driving, my dad claims he hears it though (i highly doubt it, even with the old tires, when i went over a bump you could hear the the front shocks or something up there go thump thump [I think he's just not used to a bigger tire look] ) . I...

    Does painless really not hurt?

    Power locks

    The P.O. had installed actuators in the mustang, it is a two wire actuator, a blue and green wire. It was then wired to a cheapo alarm system. I want to make it so i can also control them without the alarm/ with a switch. So i'm wondering, how do you wire these actuators? does it need a ground...

    67 fb factory wire harness question

    Umm, i'd say quite a bit of time. Assuming that the factory one already has connectors and what not, i think installing a factory one shouldn't take more than 4 hrs. as opposed to something like a general one that can take up to 20 hrs for a first time installation. It depends on which painless...

    Options?

    It depends on your abilities. Just don't cut corners, do it once and the right way. Whenever passing wires through a metal barrier use a grommet of some kind to prevent from the wires getting all cut up. Use sleeves to keep it tidy in case you need quick access. Mount the fusebox in an...
