    Shelby Gauge Pod

    why doesn't anyone make a dash pod like that for 67-68? the wires could run thru the pad via the speaker holes. I am replacing the guages in the cluster and have a two-guage bracket under the dash, but I don't like looking down to check them, I prefer guages to be closer to my line of sight.

    Couple cool pics...new suspension design

    want to bring a trailer to So-Cal? my '67 is begging to become a guiney pig! and since I am not driving her, she would love the opporotunity to get out of my aunt's driveway!

    It's either Pak or Me.

    I saw this and was very suprised. I have no idea what happened since I just came back to this board from a long time away. but, I would like to drop my $0.02: Ozsum can sound like grumpy old man sometimes but he's damn smart. In the past, I have thought he was being a jackass but it turned...

    Best Looking Mustang (non stock) Pics

    narrowed rear, stretched wheel wells, mini-tubs. M&F Dec 2004 pg 22 :D I thought that car looked familiar! what I love most about it is that it's all black/silver. it's like the whole car was built out of a B&W photograph. the only color on it is the turn signals and brake lights. so...

    T-5 IRS from 64

    Wasn't the T-5 that odd-looking two-seater prototype that was a sort of stepping-stone to the mustang? I remember reading that the reason they ditched the IRS was that by removing that a standard rear performed better due to a mix of the lighter rearend and the heavy rear window on the fastback.

    anyone ever use 'Seafoam' with their 289?

    I have been seeing a lot of Seafoam threads on the Honda forums also and from the info I've read, you should not use it on a higher-mileage vehicle that may not have as tight of tolerances as it used to [as far as running thru the engine] because it will seep thru those areas and cause leaks. I...

    Gas guage blues

    I remember when I was posting about this problem [ages ago] someone replied that they gixed theirs by replacing that ring that holds the sending unit on. not sure why that would work, unless it helps grounding.... :shrug: just a thought.

    Hydraulic clutch

    or just get the Wilwood pull-type slave from Summit... these are great, guys! $400 for a kit is such a ripoff! revised EDIT:: what about using braided steel lines rather than the hard tubes? if I remember correctly, that's what the JMC kit used. I was thinking the hard tubes might get...

    Looking for a fuel cell and jmc dual master cylinder

    Historic, I find what you say interesting...I have been wanting to somehow swap the fuel cap with something newer so that the damn nozzle will stay put when I fill up [and so it'll seal properly and actually fill up all the way]. I was also thinking of a side-fill, but do you think it's really...

    Hydraulic clutch

    you didn't specify what you have, but... the real question here is PUSH or PULL? I was so frustrated when my dad fronted me some cash for the JMC kit [about $400!!] and when I got under the car to attach it to the tranny, I thought, "gee, I guess this thing must pull the fork back..." NOPE...

    The SN65 project car

    is it just me, or are those tires on backwards? i think i can even see the little directional arrow pointing to the rear.... sorry, I had to try really hard to find something to nitpick on this thing. :D I love watching this project unfold!

    Paint Update!!!

    that looks really similar to the blue I want to use [blue/silver two-tone]. I am leaning towards the blue from the Porsche 911s a few years back. looks pretty damn close. and thanks for the 'before' pic! I like seeing nice cars, but it's even better to see where they came from!

    Best Looking Mustang (non stock) Pics

    dammit! that was MY idea!!! for ages, I've wanted to paint that depression with a white or silver [once the rest of the car was painted]. then I realized that on a '67 the crease doesn't go all the way to the front, so I'd have to fade it out EXACTLY LIKE THIS PICTURE. I am at least...

    Food for Thought

    WORTH, thanks for the smack to the head. it's easy to get caught up and get all excited about something, but then get crushed when you realize it's way over budget. HistoricMustang, thanks for your entire site! I love seeing people with near stock components who can give the big finger to...

    400 HP 5.0 With A Stock Cam

    someone mentioned that those heads weren't enough. what would necessitate the jump from 165cc to 185cc? my goal motor is a 5.0. probably carb to start, but EFI in the long run.

    Limited Slip or Lockers?

    seems to me like most people in favor of the newer lockers vs LSD make a comment about having to be careful in turns and "you get used to it". I like to carve corners. I don't want to be careful! but it sounds like everyone is crapping on LSDs so what would you recommend? ...thx
