    Stereo Head Units

    I want original looks with modern features and decent price which is why I went with the Custom Autosound 66 AM/FM. It has 200 watts, aux input jacks and RCA output. I'm quite happy with it and it is a lot better than the cheaper Custom Autosounds units, which I hated. Since the car is noisy...

    coupe to convertible conversion?

    The company was called DRIVERS SEAT INVESTMENTS and they went out of business years ago. I remember reading about them in Mustang Monthly about 13 years ago. If you have the skills then it can be done but if you have that much skill it might be cheaper and better to find a rust bucket vert and...

    Leak under dash

    There is one other possibility; I know because it drove me crazy too and I didn't discover it until I stripped the car down. The firewall could have a hole rusted through near the top corners. I did all the things you did and still had a leak but when I stripped the car during my restoration I...

    Paint Recommendation

    It depends on what you mean by looking out of place. To a judge it would stand out but to most Mustang lovers a professionally done bc/cc paint along with the rest of the car restored with quality parts and workmanship it would add to the look. I suggest go with what your heart tells you. You...

    want to redo rear seats

    Its really easy to recover a rear seat but I have never found a store that sells them separately. They usually sell either the fronts only or the whole set. They don't sell the foam for the rear seat either but it is easy to buy upholstery foam and cut/shave and glue it over the old foam...

    coupe to fastback conversions... thoughts?

    That would scare me away unless the seller had complete pictures of the conversion process and I could talk to the shop that did it. Even then I would be more inclined to look for a fastback. Also I would wonder why they did the conversion in the first place. As zookeepr said, it would be...

    Rear brake line and dual exhaust question

    I don't know about the 68 but like Raleighstang65 I had the same issue with my 66. I changed from single to factory type dual and found the hard line and flex line definately were going to different places. I cut the spot welds out to rempove the mounting plate and them I moved it outward to...

    Single Piece Headliner in a Classic???

    I found the article. It's called Interior Tips and Tricks from Hot Rod Mag Aug 08. It's a 4.5 MB file; I had scanned the whole article in last month. If you'd like a copy PM me and I will send it to you. The article says Classic Design Concepts will custom make a 67-68 fastback headliner for...

    Single Piece Headliner in a Classic???

    I read that same article in Hot Rod Magazine a couple of months back. It was a small piece buried in a series of articles on making custom interiors. It showed how to make a fiberglass form out of the roof top and then finish it to fit into the interior. They did mention a company that makes...

    question on stance

    Over time those rear springs sag a lot. Mine did and really became noticable when I replaced my front springs with 620 lb Grab a Track stock height springs. I replaced the rear springs with Grab A Track 5 leaf 195 lb stock height springs and they really raised the rear. Each leaf is thicker...

    Correct Spring Rate

    FYI- I have 15x7 Styled Steel Wheels 225/60/15 tires and I installed Grab a Track 5 leaf (195 lb) stock height rear springs and 620 stock height coils on front. The car sits level and I love the way it handles now. The stock springs always felt too soft for me and the car floated too much...

    Borg Warner T10 Speedometer Cable + Gear

    I just swapped out a 3 speed for a 4 speed toploader and had to get a new (longer) cable and reverse driven and drive gears. I got mine from CJs. Their catalog has a more complete listing of gears, more so than their web site does. I needed the black 7 tooth speedo drive gear and I don't...

    My 2009 Bullitt Test Drive

    I owned both a 2003 MACH 1 and a 2007 GT/CS. They both were great cars but I liked the 2007 styling and interior better. I'm 6'2" 190 lbs and the MACH 1 was a bit cramped and I had to lay the seat back further than normal just to see under the rear view mirror that kept blocking my view when I...

    body work

    I can't help you with any body shops but would give a word of caution. A 66 Mustang Covertible that needs new floor pans and quarters will almost certainly need new torque boxes and possibly frame rails, outer wheel wells, trunk, cowel vents, door skins and more. These cars came from the...

    Bigger Tires for my 66 - fit question

    I've got the same wheels and tires on my 66 Coupe w/stock suspension and the front tires do rub when I take a turn. If I take it easy and keep the nose from dipping in a turn I'm OK, but I will definately roll the fenders very soon.

    Dash Pad 65 OEM/repo

    I replaced my old repop dash pad on my 66 with a Ford Tooling dash pad I got from Year One. It is much better quality and I think it was worth it.

    Replica Of The 1966 Mustang AM-FM Option

    I've got one too and I like it a lot. It's a decent stereo with an all metal body and looks just like the original but with better features.

    Has anyone changed their Auto to a 3 speed???

    Why not swap in a toploader 4 speed? I did that swap several years ago and it was pretty sraight forward. The parts are different if you have a I6 or a V8 though, but either way it can be done pretty easily. The main thing is you need to get a clutch pedal, you can use your existing brake...
