    CAM Question

    I am OK with stock, I will change it if it is but I did not want to spend the extra money if I did not need to. Stock heads so nothing radical......for now.

    CAM Question

    I bought a rebuilt 390 motor and the guy did not know what cam went back in it. They used the good Edelbrock Performer intake, an upgraded distributer, MDS plug wires, and a Holley Double pumper, so from what I can see they used quality stuff. The question is, can I ID the cam without taking...

    moog VS SCOTT DRAKE Vs Grab-A-Trak

    Moog, it does no good to upgrade the tie rods with an otherwise stock suspension and like everyone said unless you are track racing on the weekends it is pointless.

    Front spring question

    Your movement will be limited to the length of the shock. Lower the car to put some weight on the front end and remove the compressor. I thought I remember someone posting not to tighten it until it is on the ground but I could be wrong.....You will probably need to lower it all the way to get...

    common questions from a rookie

    +1 on the body work. One thing to consider when replacing panels is to cut out a piece and replace it, move to the next section and do the same. You want to get all of the rust out but also keep in mind that since these are uni body cars it does not take allot to get them out of square.

    First Step

    You may also want to look into soda blasting instead of media blasting. If the guy running the gun is not careful they can cause you more issues by warping the metal with sand or other media. You may also want to have it blasted in smaller sections. I plan to do the underside of the car first...

    Transmission / Driveshaft Paint

    Hello All, I am in the process of cleaning up a transmission and I was curious of 2 things, would a power washer hurt anything in the transmission and once I have it "white glove" clean what is the best paint. I also need to paint the driveshaft and was thinking about having it powder coated...

    Is this fender worth saving?

    The only issue with patch panels is that they rarely fit correctly and it will require some modifications. Any thoughts on on a reproduction fender?

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Do you have the engine in the car still? I was curious to see if you thought it would make a difference in wiring it up either way before I put my motor in! Thanks

    Seam Sealer or Silicone to seal panels?

    I found a Dycon seam sealer at AutoZone for $10 a tube and it works the same as the 3M just without the price tag.

    What welder?

    I found mine on Craigs list. It was a blue point (cheap Snap-On) and found it for $125 and works great. You can also look at city or school auctions. They wiill sometimes have really good equipment for about the same you could buy a cheap home unit for.

    Patch Material - need suggestions

    Just a couple of quick notes about the floor pans, the stamp these for a range of years in the cars and just because it says 65 to 70 doesn't mean that it fits all of those years. One of the hardest pieces are the toe boards. I cut and fit 3 sets of these and finally took a hammer to the last...

    New guy, things to look for?

    I am in the process of restoring a 67 fastback S Code and plan to drive it daily. For years my dad has built street rods and we do not believe in weekend cruisers or trailer queens. Just a couple of notes about using a classic for a daily drive, plan on upgrading the at least the front brakes...

    FIREWALL PATCH

    The issue is that it is for a 65 to 70 Mustang. The firewalls are not the same but all of the repo parts are designed to fit a range of cars. This will be the same for any metal work you do on your car. I did the toe boards 3 times trying to get them to fit right. Take your time, cut and...

    VERY UNHAPPY with fender aprons shipped from National Parts Depot (http://www.npdlink

    You can expect this on any sheet metal part that you purchase for your car. These parts are manufactured for multiple years of cars and nothing fits right. When I did my aprons I used the fenders to mark the holes, drilled the corners and a cutting wheel to finish it.

    Interior color schemes

    For my 67 I had planned on using the black seats, door panels, kick panels headliner but painting all of the metal surfaces a dark charcoal to match the exterior.

    Suspension Suggestions?

    I think you can achieve what you are looking for without spending $3k on coil overs and rack and pinion. Save yourself some cash and upgrade the strut rods and shocks add the sway bars and the one piece export brace. Torque boxes on both sides will also help stiffen things up. The Shelby drop...
