    flywheel

    I think the Zoom is a 10.5 inch clutch. Could be wrong though. I am running a 10.5 inch King Cobra diaphragm clutch that was made for a 5.0 engine on the flywheel.

    Size of Glasspacks

    I went with the Shelby style side exhaust that uses 30 inch Cherry bomb glass packs. It is not that loud. I also installed an H pipe. Laurel Mountain Mustang - 1965 SHELBY STYLE SIDE EXHAUST, 2 1/4''

    Recover seats myself?

    Agree with doing it yourself. Take your time and dont rush. I used my old foam and found the covers fit a little loose. Solved this by gluing 1/2 inch foam from a fabric shop on the edges. Warming the covers is a good idea to get them to soften up Pictures of my install: Seats

    I bought my 89 T5 for $350 off of Craigslist. It is also recommended you change out the rear bushing and seal. It is also a good idea to change the aluminum bearing retainer to a steel retainer. Here is how to do it: BM Ripper Shifter and T5 upgrades | FordMuscle Magazine Links I put...

    tranny

    I also love the 5 speed... I can see an AOD in stop and go traffic or driving in a hilly city (SF) but for fun and performance, 5 speed for the win.

    Cowl Rustproofing

    I "tin canned" the ends of the cowl to gain access to the inside. It is the only way short of drilling the spot welds out and separating it to get inside and inspect and treat the metal. I used Eastwood rust encapsulator to treat the metal and seam seal on all of the joints and around the the...

    Part out or sell as a roller?

    I vote for selling it as a roller so it can live on with someone else. I would check Craigslist for prices in your area or maybe Ebay if you want a broader audience

    Rear valance woes

    Had the same problem on my 66. I had a 3/8 of gap on each side and just figured it was something I had to live with. I feel sorry for someone who is replacing the rear quarters, light panel and valance all at the same time with these parts. Nothing would line up like you think it should.

    Ebay aluminum radiator??

    Looks nice. Make sure you fill it with premixed anti freeze or add distiled water only. If you use tap water, the aluminum will start to corrode by electrolysis. I would also add added water wetter and a new cap. It will look awesome in your car!

    Ebay aluminum radiator??

    I searched ebay to look at it but found nothing from your description. I solved my overheating problems on the 66 with a 2 row aluminum radiator, electric fan and overflow recovery tank. I changed out the 17 inch stock one for a 20 inch from 67. The 289 can idle all day in 100 degree heat...

    Paint issue!! paint peeled when laying stripes

    What primer did you use? Did you go outside of the recoat window for the primer? Epoxy primer typically has a 7 day window and if base is not applied within 7 days, the epoxy should scuffed and another coat applied. This promotes the chemical adhesion of the base to the epoxy. I had no base...

    Spindles?

    I have no problem with mine. Not sure what you are talking about. I know you and Dennis have issues but for the record, it was one of the better things I have done to the 66.
