    Cheap Azz Retro Shifter for T5

    +1 on what Rob said. Take an old 3 spd handle and grind flats on it, drill holes and wallah. Sometimes you just gotta work with what you have. I would use a grade 8 bolt if you're planning on banging the gears hard. But that might cost over $2.00. :rlaugh:

    Speed Hut Gauges in 67 Gauge Cluster

    They don't appear to make 5" gauges that fit nicely in the speedo and tach openings on the 67's. The largest they make is 4". But man, they do make some great looking gauges.

    Headliner Installations Stink!

    I don't think MTF's headliners are made for coups. They don't cover the sail panel between the quarter window and rear window. Thats the most difficult area to get the wrinkles out when installing a headliner. The added headroom is nice, but I kind of like lowering the seatpans because it also...

    Does anyone have a good source for info on airbag trouble codes. Mine appears to be flashing 33. Which is an open circuit on the passenger side airbag, 90's are not equipped with a passenger side airbag. :shrug: Thanks in advance.

    1965 Mustang rust repair

    I noticed in other pics the trans/driveshaft tunnel was removed. Are you just using it now for fitment? Also, using sheet metal screws is a real good idea. Not only do they pull things together tightly, when you pull them out and rosette weld the panel to the frame it ensures good penetration.

    Borgeson steering with Shelby Pitman arm ?

    I drove a 70 MACH 1 yesterday that was equipped with the Borgeson PS box. It seemed to have a real tight turning radius. The longer Shelby Pitman Arm and Idler might cause it to be even tighter resulting in the tires rubbing inside the wheelhouse.

    1967 Shelby GT500

    I have always liked the look of the 67 Shelby's, my wife prefers the 68's. The 67 just look a lot sleeker to me.

    1967 Shelby GT500

    Not to be a nit picker (that is a beautiful car) but it appears to be a 68 with a 67 hood and narrow grill lights. Or someone added 68 side markers to a 67?

    Where does the emer flasher go on a 65?

    The switch goes in the Glove Box. I have never seen one under the Dash.

    1968 Mustang 5.0 Roller motor & aod suggestions needed

    A timing chain for an older carbureted 302 from the 70's will work with the older style front cover. Along with the Fuel Pump eccentric. Newer Cam sprockets are thicker and the FP eccentric won't fit. An Edelbrock Performer 302 intake is good and an Edelbrock 600 CFM carb. If you decide to put...

    Thanks for the feedback Robbz. I think I'll see if I can sell my Customer on the Retro.

    Retro vs Custom

    Thats the thing with this car, it has the factory console and the owner doesn't want to cut it up, or go hidden. Have you had the chance to listen to a CAS with a similar speaker set up to make a comparison? You did say the quality of sound is good with your Retro unit. Is it better than a CAS?

    1967 Shelby GT500

    When you apply 6 coats of clear is it necessary to color sand any between coats? And how long after you spray on the epoxy primer can you wait before squirting on the color?

    Retro vs Custom

    I like the old look, but not the vintage sound. I have a cheepo $100 Sony in my 90GT and it sounds great. I just figure if you're going to spend $250 + for the old look you should also get good rich sound.

    Retro vs Custom

    The CAS unit in my 72' just doesn't have a very rich sound quality. I am running a dual voice coil in the dash with two 4X10's in back along with two 8" woofers and an amp behind the rear seat. It sounds kinda droany. I have installed a CAS in a 66' with two 6x9's in the back and two 5" kick...

    Speedhut Gauges/Tachs???

    Those gauges look nice Blown65. Did they supply the bezel? I looked on the website and didn't see any bezels for old stangs. Is that a Ford racing tach, or one of theirs?

    Retro vs Custom

    Has anyone had the chance to compare the Retro Sound radio's to the Custom Auto Sound radio's. I have installed a few CAS units and although they function well and sound okay, I have not been impressed with the quality of sound they produce. Someone suggested installing amps, but all they do is...
