    I'll save you the trouble of looking it up. I finished the primer and mock fit the front valance. Going to spend the holiday weekend block sanding and 'icing' body filler.

    Started my door rust repair...now I have questions

    I found out early on that there is no such thing as a budget resto and still do it right. To do it right, you have to throw out the budget and just do it. I have been waiting 28 yrs to own one of these cars, and I only want to build it one time. Judging by the amount of rust on the outside of...

    I think I had $20 in material and about 3hrs time from the first cut till I had them primered. I used the drawings from the dazedcars website. They fit really well to the car.

    James-I will be using a track heat intake, not the street heat. The runners are shorter with that intake, and I bought a shock tower brace meant for a 5.0 conversion. I guess I will have to cross the "It don't fit" bridge when I get there. Thanks for the heads up on fitment issues, and your...

    Thoughts on Explorer rear end

    I put an explorer axle under my car, but I narrowed it to the correct original width and ordered new alloy axles from Moser. I just laid the shock mount from the explorer on the mustang mount and drilled the holes where they needed to be and used the u-bolts from the explorer. Good luck, and GET...

    I could use some measurements

    Thanks man, you're awesome! That is exactly what I was hoping for. How about 1 more, what is the distance down from the top of the inner structure to the front hole? I can handle laying out the second hole based off measurements from the other 3 sets of holes I can see. BTW, I don't have a...

    I could use some measurements

    I got the cart ahead of the horse, if you will. I noticed when I primed the inside roof of the car this weekend that when I welded my plates in the roof for the 3pt seat belts, I think I covered the 3rd set of holes for the roof bows....:nonono: Can anybody produce any measurements for these...

    Rear brake line size

    Ok, to clear, the line IS 3/16", not 1/4". I was wanting to know if it NEEDED to be 1/4". The lines are PRE-BENT, ready to install in the car, and as far as misalignment and leaking, I've been a plumber/pipefitter for 23 yrs now, not to worried about getting it to line up and not leak. :nice...

    Rear brake line size

    I ordered pre-bent stainless brake lines from CJPony, and the rear feed line is 3/16". My new master cylinder with prop valve for dual discs has a 1/4" line to feed the rear of the car. I know just enough about fluid dynamics/displacement to be dangerous. The prop valve is not adjustable for the...

    1965 Mustang rust repair

    Rusty, you guys get props from me, you do incredible work..:hail2: As for some of the comments on saving the car or not based on production #'s/sentimental value, I don't think it matters! We are talking about a WOMAN willing to spend the money/wanting to save a classic mustang! I think she...

    My Mac tru-fit headers don't fit

    How much do you want to pay? These headers are getting harder to find(I spent almost a year looking), and when you do they are $400. These are basically brand new, still have the gaskets and bolts too. Shoot me an offer without insulting me, and I will consider it. This is what I was...

    My Mac tru-fit headers don't fit

    I have a set of Mac tf6470 ceramic coated long tubes and mocked them up with the 4r70w on an old 5.0 block, and they don't fit!! I really want to run long tubes, but i'm not real excited about some of the fitment/ground clearance issues I hear of with headman's. I have a steeroids power rack...

    I hit a snag

    I don't know about that, my time is valuable too. By the time I take the door lock cylinder out and run it up to the locksmith, and then go back later to pick it up, my guess is gonna be at least $20 for their services, when for $21, I got 2 new door locks, and a new ignition tumbler, with 2...

    Crank trigger?

    Hmm, may have to set both dampeners side by side and take some measurements to check feasability of installing factory wheel on prof prod dampener. This crank trigger is inductive pickup, it only has 4 fingers. FAST has a unit that is 1/8" thick, and 4 "bumps" on it that is inductive pickup for...

    Crank trigger?

    No, you didn't miss it, it didn't post it. I bought a worn out 96 f150 w/5.0&4r70w so I could rob it of its computer, harness, trans, aluminum driveshaft, and fead setup to use in my 66 stang. It has a crank trigger wheel pressed onto the back of the dampener. My 331 stroker kit is a 28oz...
