    Will 18x8 rims fit in the front on 1964 1/2 ford mustang

    AMAZING. I'll be doing the Pro-Touring/G-Machine route on my 66 and am look at different ideas. I love the big wheel with huge brakes look. I'm still on the fence if I want 17x8 all around or bump up to 18s. I don't want wheels that are too small then the car looks too long and thin, but...

    Procar Rally and Belts

    That makes sense with the GM seats. I guess I've always liked the looks of a 4 pt harness. Both Mustangs Plus and NPD make three point conversions and I'm looking into them now. I'm leaning towards the MP ones since they are hidden below the door line. Anyone have any experience with either...

    Procar Rally and Belts

    Don't some cars (GM comes to mind) actually mount their shoulder harnesses to the seats? Or are these seats like the stock ones in that they just fold over without a latch?

    Procar Rally and Belts

    But if I'm only running a lap belt, I'm kind of screwed anyways. Wouldn't that at least provide some time of restraint?

    Procar Rally and Belts

    That's good to hear, thanks for the replies. In terms of the seat belts, I could stay with lap belts, but I'd really like to upgrade to 4 pt harnesses. Is it possible to attach the upper belts to the back of the seat? They may not be as secure as attaching to a roll bar, but I can't imagine...

    Procar Rally and Belts

    Hey, I'm getting back into the whole Stang thing again (I bought a Harley a year ago that has sidetracked me) and I'll be turning it into a daily driver. The first point of concern is getting new seats and seat belts (to appease my mom, you know how they are). I've always been looking at Scat...

    Fluctuating Oil Pressure (on high side)

    I checked the oil and it's good, just got it changed not too long ago. It's getting better now that I'm driving it more often. Gotta love old cars, real finicky sometimes. When I haven't driven it for awhile the first couple drives are a little rough but things smooth out with a regular cruise.

    Fluctuating Oil Pressure (on high side)

    Hey, I've been driving the Stang recently since I'm home for a bit and noticed that the oil pressure hangs around the O in Oil while at idle than climbs to nearly past the L when driving (doesn't matter rpm, just climbs) then drops back down to the O while at a light. I don't really remember it...

    05 dash in a classsic

    There was an Australian who put a Falcon dash in a 65 vert I think and he cut the actual center electronics console up and glued it together. It looked great but was a very painstaking process if anyone else remembers.

    Rear Suspension

    That's certainly a good point. I think a lot of these higher ends suspensions, while good for racing and whatnot, provide more of a cool factor for our road cars. Unfortunately, a lot of us don't have the money to pay for that cool factor. I think I'll settle on the Heidt's rear end and...

    GOT THE MASS-FLO SYSTEM TODAY!! YAHOO!!! DIAL UP WARNING

    Is that a complete EFI conversion kit? I've been looking into one of those (Edelbrock) and I'm curious how well it works. Looks great.

    What mods would need to be done to increase high speed stability?

    This is something I've been thinking of lately. What would need to be done to our cars to make them stable at high speeds (100+ mph)? Obviously suspension work, a bump steer kit, but what else? I'm thinking along the lines of autobahn cruising here. I know our cars aren't designed for that...

    How do I remove the gauge lights?

    Yeah, the light filters. No problem though, I've taken care of everything. Thanks anyways.

    How do I remove the gauge lights?

    Doesn't look like it for my car, I keep turning them but nothing happens.

    How do I remove the gauge lights?

    I need to replace the guage lights in my 66 but I can't figure out how to get them out. There's those green plastic things covering them, but they look pretty solid and I don't want to break anything, yet. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Scarebird?

    Hey, does that mean he's local? It sounded like that in your post. Where in Seattle are you?

    Photos of 65/66 coupes with spoilered trunk lid?

    Very nice. Where did you get that rear spoiler and what do you think of the fit and finish?

    Photos of 65/66 coupes with spoilered trunk lid?

    Cannonball, you wouldn't happen to have any more pics of the red car would you? That's exactly the set up I'm looking for, spoiler, color and stripes.
