    Por 15 on undercarage

    When I POR15'd my floorpans I wasnt sure about the complete process.. I followed the instructions as closely as I could but they didnt seem complete. I wasnt sure if I was supposed to rinse off the Rust converter stuff or what, and some other things that I forget. It was over a year ago and I...

    Pictures of the 70, Lowered and with 18's

    sweetness. :nice: Hey the wing, is that just your standard fastback unit? I've wondered about doin that to my coupe. I've never really inspected a fastbacks mounts closely so I didnt know of the mounting angle of the coupe was an issue.

    Front spring removal

    Whats the difference between the inside-the-spring and outside-the-spring compressors? .. besides the obvious. Is one safer or easier to use? I'm planning on just buying one rather than renting. It'll come in handy in the future a lot I'm sure.

    Front spring removal

    A buddy of mine got a spring compressor for his 65 Falcon but for some reason or another it didnt work. I forget why, but he ended up just making his own... Anyway, I'd like to buy one, but dont want it to end up not working for my Mustang. Have you guys heard of any issues with certain brands...

    69 Coupe suspension questions.

    Okeydoke, I ordered my kit from Laurel Mountain.. unfortunatly the front springs are on backorder. So I guess I'll just install everything with the old springs then throw in the new springs when they arrive. Got 1" drop front and rear with Midolyne bushings. Thanks guys! and I think I'll be...

    K, I have my new suspension kit enroute. I need to get my install planned. Is there a certain kind of spring compressor I should get or any of you would recommend? I swapped frontends on an 81 Crapi last summer.. I used an array of hose clamps to slowly compress the spring on that for...

    My Ma used to have a burgandy 65 Coupe, and on it she had some unique aftermarket taillights.. I havent seen much for different designs except for the Shelby ones. Does anybody know of any options for this back in the 60's, or maybe early 70's?.. Thats when she had it I believe. They were...

    Remove Quarter or cut out?

    What about spraying some POR15 in there?.. mine have a lot of crunchy rust on the surface inside the quarter panels... I'm not looking to pull things apart but would like to stop it... POR15 is suppost to bond best to rust so perhaps that would work okay if I scraped off the bigger chunks? :D

    Are my calipers ricey??

    Splashes of color here and there are good... Personally, I like having some misc components colorful.. just keeps things from being too drab and lifeless .. IMO.. If you like it, do it. :)
