    Inexpensive rebuild kit suggestions

    Yep, when I talked to John I told him I wanted just about the same performance and capability out of my car that you want. I hope to do semi-occasional road track days with it too. I have a friend locally who has been customizing Explorer rear ends to bolt into our classic Mustangs recently...

    Another shock tower issue thread...

    No, it's up on jackstands as I clean and paint the inner fender and then replace the front suspension. I don't have the equipment to do the shock towers myself so I was leaning towards taking it to a friends house who could help me with it. I'm debating whether or not to drive it there or...

    Another shock tower issue thread...

    I sort of jumbled my words there. I meant is it possible to drill all of them out and MIG the new one back in with the motor still in the car?

    Another shock tower issue thread...

    Thanks for the info, I ran across something similar today when talking with a friend. I'll look into adding something like this to the new tower. My wheels have a 0mm offset and 4.5" backspacing. You're talking about wheels with >0mm offset? So in theory, my wheels shouldn't be a major...

    Inexpensive rebuild kit suggestions

    Do you have a budget in mind? Are you looking for stock suspension components? I just bought a rebuild kit for front and rear from open tracker for ~$1500. I opted for "better" than original components with mine though. If you want more info I can give you a breakdown. Also, when you...

    Another shock tower issue thread...

    I've been reading up on this issue alot lately. I think you said that the common cause of this were aftermarket wheels with larger offsets than stock? Once I replace these I don't want this to happen again. Right now I am running a 235/45/17 tire on a 17x8 wheel without spacers. I have maybe 20...

    Question regarding Eastwood Products and Body Prep

    I'm hoping to paint today but had a question first. My inner fender is sort of a mix match of bare metal/rusty surfaces and painted surfaces. Should I remove all paint before applying? POR-15s directions are sort of confusing, they say different things. One instruction says not to apply it over...

    Another shock tower issue thread...

    Last weekend I was pulling out all of my old suspension components to replace them with new ones. Before I put the new stuff in I thought I'd clean up the inner fender area and repaint it. Well this is what I found in the shock tower... Looks like the previous owner...

    E85 blend

    Someone may have to back me up on this but I wouldn't go above E15. At that point, damage to your fuel system is very likely.

    67 mustang radiator

    Somehow I missed the fact that your car is 351C. Mine is a 302 so my advice isn't probably very sound. I'm going to bow out of this since my knowledge of 351C is pretty abysmal. :)

    67 mustang radiator

    I had a 195 T-stat in my 67 with the stock radiator. It was running hotter than I felt comfortable with, even with a taurus electric fan. (I'm not sure of the exact temperature but it was always very close to pegging the stock temperature gauge.) I swapped out the 195 for a 180 and saw...

    Question regarding Eastwood Products and Body Prep

    Given my time constraints I think it's better if I use the POR products. Namely: Marine Clean Metal Ready POR-15 I've heard that you can start applying the POR-15 immediately after the prep products but that you must wash and dry the area immediately after using the prep products. Can...

    Question regarding Eastwood Products and Body Prep

    Thanks for the response. That clears it up. However this news makes things a bit difficult, I'll only have time with the car on the weekend. I'd have to have everything applied by Friday in order to have the encapsulator on by the end of the weekend. That probably won't happen though considering...

    Question regarding Eastwood Products and Body Prep

    I'm completely redoing my suspension either this weekend or the next and figure while I have all the stuff removed I might as well address the surface rust I see on the inner fenders. From what I can tell it doesn't need anything more than a wire wheeling/sanding to get rid of all the surface...

    67-68 strut rod PU bushing OE torque

    Do you already have the PU bushings? If not, stick with the rubber. PU is too stiff for the strut rods, the bushings need to be able to flex with the movement of the suspension. PU bushings will lead to things breaking.

    Do I need to pull my transmission?

    Felt around up top and felt the vent cap and it wasn't stuck. I also drained the pan and took off the filter again today. I noticed that the fluid was a deep red and that there was a sort of "mud" on the bottom of the pan. This mud has been present the last few times I've dropped the pan. From...
