    Getting new gears, some questions

    Finally convinced my dad to get new gears for the Stang so I have some basic questions. It's a 66 with 289 4bbl and T-5z. The 2.88 open 8" is still in there. The car is mainly driven on the weekends (everyday when I'm home which is every couple months) and I like spirited driving. For the...

    upgrades for '06

    I've got TCPs and they're great. Combined with an MC bar and export brace, this thing does not twist. I can't complain about my pertronix either.

    The SN65 project car

    Not only do the lines not match up, but there may be different shades of gray. Now, what would be really cool would be a wood steering wheel, maybe a modern version of the old Shelby ones. It would be cool if you put the sn197 interior into sn65, but the sn95 will look good too. Maybe another...

    Very nice, but drums? At least convert the front to discs.

    Some Pics O the Stang

    I got a digital camera for Christmas and what better way to use it than take pics of the Stang? Here's my album that I've created. Some of the pics are blurry because I'm trying to figure things out yet with the camera, but there's some good ones too...

    What's a good site to buy or look at wheels?

    Yeah, I saw the wheel style one, which is awesome. It's great since I can actually see what it looks like for what I want to do. I'll check out newstalgia.com too.

    Plating and metal strength

    There are many factors that affect bolt strength such as SAE grade, material composition, size and number of threads per inch. Even if the threading is cut or rolled can affect the overall strength. As said, minor cracks are the worst for fatigue applications since they create stress...

    What's a good site to buy or look at wheels?

    I'm looking to get some new wheels for the Stang and have been searching. I know I could go to specific manufacturer's websites, but I'm wondering if there are any good ones that show all the available wheels for my 66? I'm trying to avoid the standard American Racing or other common wheels...

    Supercharger and EFI in a 65

    Here's the EFI unit I'm talking about: http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/efi/pro-flo_ford.shtml I have no idea if it'd even work though. I'll probably look into it.

    Supercharger and EFI in a 65

    I'm curious, Edelbrock makes their own EFI kits for SB Fords that look real nice. They look a lot like a carb set up too. Could you use say a Paxton Novi on it? The I know the Paxton is made for carbed cars, but the physical setup looks very similar. Just a thought.

    Big rims should only be put on hot rods, finned cars or cars like this one:

    Lighter Glass

    Oh I know, I feel safe having .5 in thick glass all around. Essentially I'm just looking for ways to reduce weight, but I don't want to get rid of functionality (like seats or other major interior parts). The best place to start though would probably be the engine since that's where most the...

    Lighter Glass

    What kind of weight gain would I see? It doesn't seem like it's worth the trouble, but I'm curious.

    Lighter Glass

    I was thinking with modern technology, there'd be something out there at least.

    Lighter Glass

    Is it possible to buy lighter glass for our cars? The reason is that the stuff we have is pretty thick and I'm sure it weighs a lot. If so, how much weight do you think could be saved overall?
