    Best Bang For The Buck Shorty Header?

    Highland Green Color Differences

    I did think the 2001 and 2008 color looked darker than the '68. Correct on the '67 color too, it was called Dark Moss. I'm going to stick w/the '68 color for my Bullitt clone:rock:

    Highland Green Color Differences

    Can someone tell me the differences between the Dark Highland Green color of 1968 and the Dark Highland Green color of 2001, 2008-2009 model Mustangs? Paint codes are different. Looking at pictures, it appears that the 2001, 2008-2009 color is darker than the color from 1968. Thanks,

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Excellent post, keep it coming. I'm leaning towards the AAW for my '68 in the very near future myself. If I had any brains:doh: , I would have done this when I pulled out my a/c to change the Evap and heater core. Oh well, I luv bending myself into a pretzel when it comes to under dash work.:p

    '68 FB Rear Vent Removal

    So the time has finally arrived. I've saved up enough money to get my '68 painted. I'm getting all the exterior items off the car to save a few bucks in labor. This past Sunday I pulled off the interior rear quarters so I could get at the nuts for the exterior quarter panel ornament. I'd...

    '68 Sanden Idler Pully Adapter

    Yes it does. I currently have one belt running my alternator & sanden off the crank. But at cold starts and hard acceleration, it squeals like a stuck pig. The PS is running off one belt to the crank. BTW, I've done the T5 swap on my Stang too. Just finished upgrading my rear end to 3.40's.

    Ok, so I've got everything on the rear shoes rebuilt and installed correctly, at least I think so. New shoes, cylinders, hardware, parking brake cable, & drums re-surfaced.

    T5 Starter I used the exact same one that I was using w/my C4 before I did the swap. Just have to be sure you have the right one for your flywheel.
