    dash insert

    Mine are all real aluminum. I know that some were vinyl, but most were not. The only vinyl ones I've seen personally were on '78 models, but my King has real aluminum.

    76 mustang 2 parts for sell

    That all depends on whether or not the car had AC originally. Changing the core is easy on a non-air car. Air conditioned cars are a big pain, you have to take a lot more stuff out.

    motor mounts

    If you e-mail the seller, I think he also occasionally sells complete sets with the urethane already in place.

    motor mounts

    You can buy rebuild kits on eBay for $90. They use urethane, better than the OEM rubber.

    International Mustang Meet 2009 in Billings, MT

    I wish I could go. I used to live in Montana, and my best friend lives 30 minutes out of Billings. I've been to a few IMMs over the years, they put on a great event. But, my wedding anniversary and my daughter's birthday both fall on or around Labor Day weekend now, so my chances of going...

    PIR late night drags

    Hey Allan! Not used to seeing you over here, just daily over on .Net! I don't currently have anything planned in the way of shows/events. If something pops up on a weekend that I'm free, I'll take the Shelby. Mostly I'm just tapping my foot waiting for my King to get out of the body shop...

    PIR late night drags

    I'm not going to be able to get to the track until sometime after Labor Day. Between the usual summer plans, visiting relatives, and my anniversary, my weekends are booked solid through then. Hopefully the week or two after that, I'll be there in my Shelby.

    PIR late night drags

    I wish I could come by and admire your car. Still miss mine... But, I'll be out of town. Hopefully you'll continue to attend and hone your times. I'm way overdue to find out what my GT 500 will do on the track, and plan to start spending more time there in a few weeks.

    PIR late night drags

    You'll love it. I thought for a second you might have my old car, but your's still has the factory wheels and ride height. My Atlantic Blue Cobra was lowered 2" and had chrome Bullitt wheels on it when I traded it in 2 years ago. You might need a helmet, your car will get you into the 13's...

    Emissions Woes. please read :)

    If your hydrocarbons are that high, it's a tuning issue. Sounds like you're running too rich.

    Taking the dash out is really quite simple, just time consuming. Start with the dash pad, and as CobraIIW says, you can see a lot and potentially check your bulbs. Since none of them are working, it seems unlikely that they are just burned out. But, with anything that sits for a long time...

    Nice collection! My wife would kill me if I tried to have that many cars... That was the best year for the Trans Am, IMHO. Tell me it has t-tops and a 4 speed and I'll *really* be jealous. The dash doesn't have a wire, it's just grounded to the unibody at the mounting points. By...

    The most likely problem for all the dash lights being out (other than the fuse) is the ground. If the car sat that long, it's likely there is some corrosion. The worst part is that you pretty much have to remove the dash entirely to clear it up. I had intermittent problems in my '77 until I...

    Help with Sikkens paint codes?

    I'm trying to find the Sikkens code for Calypso Coral. Does anyone have access to the ColorMap book to find the correct code? I know the Ford code was 3 in 1969, and 1 in 1970, although I don't know if there is any difference between these. Any help would be appreciated, my car is having the...

    Dano.... Dano who?

    Hey Dano! Hopefully I'll be at that show again this year, but I won't have my King Cobra. It will still be at the paint/body shop. I drop the car off tomorrow at Media Blasters to have the body stripped, and Friday drop it at the painter's. I won't have it back until "sometime after August."...
