    I'll blow it up, I swear!

    We had a weird problem similar to this that drove us absolutely crazy for hours. Was a stupid simple thing-the motor we got used, and it was originally mated to a stick shift tranny-the bearing was still on it and it wouldn't let the converter seat properly. Also, make sure its lined up...

    Hey, Nice Eleanor

    Well, since she's not just going to be yellow, but actually being made to look like the original Eleanor, so yeah...But we've shown the car in her "under construction" state and had a die cast on the car of Eleanor, and it seems a lot of people knew about the real (original) Gone.

    Hey, Nice Eleanor

    Hey now, wait a durn minute there.... oh, wait you said Elenor,not Eleanor...ok then.:nice: If someone said nice Eleanor to me (regarding the 73), I'd be happy. But I don't think that was where you were going with this....

    Waxes

    I like the Meg's line myself. As for a buffer, you'd be better off with a Polisher. Buffers can burn the paint if you are not careful, a true polisher will not. Meguiars has one they sell, it's the same as a Porter Cable (made by porter cable), but it carries a lifetime warrentee. Always use...

    Ford is suing companies for use of Mustang name?

    /\ lol, now that's funny. If my Ranger was on the road I'd do that.

    FoMoCo suing companies using "Mustang" in their names???

    Sounds like you work for the law firm serving the suppliers. You are on a forum full of folks that depend on those suppliers for parts for their cars. And quite probably were part of the rescue of the Mustang when ford wanted to axe it for the probe. I don't you'll find much support for your...

    '72 Fastback Mouldings

    Try someone that deals in used parts too. I've had good luck with Don at ohio mustang, and he deals mostly in big bodies (well, he used to anyway).

    73 Fastback Restoration/Rebuild 302 --> 351 4v

    What makes the w easier than the c? We're thinking of going 351 for Eleanor, after 2 302's and the third one being a pita to tune and keep happy we're thinking maybe it's the way to go. We also just found out the PO actually had a C for her but got talked out of it by her ex....

    How weird is that??!!

    In Nov. 02, we bought our 73. We had looked at the car a few times, and passed it up due to the work it needed-but we finally gave in after driving by and seeing it every day on the way too & from work. We actually had seen the car years before, as the owner had worked at a local speed parts...

    Any reason we shouldn't patch the cowl w/glass?

    Ok, so we have a hole in the cowl on our 73. It will likely see rain at some point. Is there a really good reason we shouldn't patch it with fiberglass? since they don't make a repop replacement piece, it would be hard to find a metal replacement. It's near the heater core, and we could...

    Original Eleanor

    Actually the website now says 351w. Still exists, and his widow does still own her. My personal opinion is the car is actually a 71 Boss 351-which would make it a c, not a w. It is def. a 71 either way. There were two Eleanors-one for "beauty" shots, the other one is the car he drives most...

    Anyone know what happened to FOMOCO.com?

    Don't fool yourself into thinking it's about protecting what's "rightfully theirs"-I don't hear anything about protecting the T-5 name. Someone got thier panties in a bunch over getting screwed with the GT-40 name and on top of it, they are working with that ole snake again. Protecting is one...

    Car show tips?

    Bummer. Well, I can tell you that you should love the headlights! Get clear signals if you can though, 'cause you can still see the orange ones from the front. I can't link the pic, but if you check out my gotsatng page there's a recent pic of my car with them on (second pic down, by the...

    Modify or restore???

    He prolly meant the "sn65", not sn95. IMO, he needs to decide a few things for himself. Is he keeping this car for a long time? What would make him happier-restored or restomodded? If he's keeping it and not using it as an investment, he needs to build the car he wants. For an...

    Questions for the classic guys

    Frame rails too. Check everywhere underneath and beware of undercoating and fresh paint jobs. Check the DSO too-northern and coastal cars tend to be rustier due to salt. Door jambs seem to be a weak area too. Just driving around and car shows can net some cars, as well as local sites/car club...
