    loose mirror need help!

    I' not sure if I totally understand your question, is the mirror part loose at the junction to the bracket or is the bracket base loose where it mounts to the car? If the bracket base is loose from the car, you can either take the two mounting screws loose, remove mirror, redrill the sheetmetal...

    Lower Ball Joint

    Breaking those rivets (although I remember them to be more like a spot weld, but it's been 20 years) is not fun, plus I remember being afraid of damaging the control arm itself while trying to break the welds. And we didn't even attempt to change the pivot bushing. I got my ball joints from...

    USA-66 Wiring?

    It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I tied the black ground wire into the screw holding on the underdash light, as that is how the light grounds. The power and the memory wires I ran to the fuse box and found fuses that were under power when ignition was on and under power all the time...

    No posts since March. Wonder what happened.

    Hey Oboebrian (or anyone that wants old mags)

    He used to be. Maybe he got a big head with his college degree and is too good to talk to us now.:-)

    Hey Oboebrian (or anyone that wants old mags)

    That was my idea as well, but never got around to it. Plus it seemed that a lot of projects were repetative. Anyone feeling couragous enough to tackle this?

    Hey Oboebrian (or anyone that wants old mags)

    Oboebrian, I seem to remember a few years ago you wanting to make somewhat of a library of mustang magazines. Or am I thinking of someone else.:shrug: Anyway, it's time for me to get rid of all my old Mustang magazines, and I have a bunch. I think the ealiest one that I have is a...

    vapor-lock???

    That is a sweet car. I can't offer anything on your problem, other than vaporlock was only a problem to me when I shot off the car on a warm day and all the heat rose up through the carb and boiled the gas out, making it impossible to start. Do you know anything about the history of that...

    Plain black grill for 66

    I'm pretty sure there is a difference between '65 and '66 hood latches and how they attach to the grille, making it difficult to just swap a '65 for a '66. A couple years ago I was looking at getting a billet grille for my '65, and noticed that a lot if not all that I could find at the time...

    rims

    If you are going to put a V8 in it anyway, I would go ahead and switch to 5 lug now, or you will be buying wheels twice. You'll have to switch to 5 lug with the engins swap, the I6 components won't hold up to the weight/power. I'd go with Degins setup he has on special this month to get...

    Pics, please (disc brakes behind large rims)

    Can you guys post some pics of your disc brake setups behind 16, 17, or 18" rims? I'm trying to get a feel for if stock size/SSBC/Granada swap size rotors get lost behind the large diameter rims, or if they look OK. Input/pics would be great!

    '65 Custom Fastback Project Update

    What the...., am I understanding your photo album right? You sold the fastback? I'm crushed, I've been so looking forward to seeing it hauling tail around the west end and Short Pump. Now I may never see it. I've been following your progress since you started here at Stangnet (obviously not...

    Truck 302?

    Are you saying the cam can be had for less than $100, or a used block with roller cam can be had for under $100? I'm assuming you mean the cam. Is $400 too much for a roller block?

    raised white letter?

    To each his own. I never cared for them. Always seemed like a generational thing.

    raised white letter?

    On 14 and 15 inch rims, RWL are the way to go. When you have that much sidewall showing, you need something to break it up. 16" rim and up with low profile tires, you don't need it. My worst mustang moment was when my Dad 'surprised me' after school one day with a new set of whitewalls on...

    Truck 302?

    I'm pretty sure there is more to it than that. Roller cam? Hydraulic vs. slolid lifters? Decent heads? Compression? hp? weak block? Forged vs. eutectic pistons? Lots of resources on Mustang 302's, not much on truck 302's, at least that I can find.

    Truck 302?

    A buddy of mines brother is pulling the 302 out of his 88 F-150 to put in a 351 he built, and is going to sell the 302. I was wondering if this would make a good engine to build for my '65. Can anybody tell me anything about this 302? I haven't been able to find much info on the truck 302's...
