    A few more questions

    And just a quick note regarding the trans cross member. While cleaning out all the parts that were in the trunk, I found a dual hump cross member. Yea! One less thing to have to buy. Russ

    That would be cool. Thanks! Russ

    A few more questions

    Yup. I pretty much can agree with all you said, other than not having any experience with the II 8 inch differences. Re the car sitting. No engine, no trans, lots of rust, and no money. It isn't going anywhere for a long long time. :cry: I already anticipate replacing just about everything...

    How to remove the center console?

    Thanks. I thought that there were screws somewhere in the glovebox area, wasn't sure if I had to take it out to get to them. Front I wasn't sure about. Thought they might be under the shifter bezel for some reason. I am working in a garage at night, have decent lighting, but not inside...

    How to remove the center console?

    I did search. This console is in really good shape and I don't want to risk damaging it, so I am asking first before just attacking it. It is an automatic trans one. I am pretty sure I have to remove the T handle from the shifter, but I don't know where the screws/bolts are hiding that...

    Cast Aluminum spoke wheels, worth anything?

    That is probably what I will do with them. Unless the finish has really faded, these are just polished. I need to get some Mothers cleaner/polish and see what they look like shined up. Just wanted to make sure that they weren't something that would pay for the Mustang if I sold them. Still...

    T-top cars factory torque boxes?

    Yeah. I would like to do them on my car, it is going to need all the help I can give it. I have someone here at work who has offered to bend up some metal for me for the car if I can give him some sort of drawings. Not sure what he will want to do it, but he has a brake at home and says he...

    T-top cars factory torque boxes?

    Way back in this thread http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/495114-hackers-world.html there was a mention of T-top cars having factory installed torque boxes. A couple of people asked if anyone had pictures, but I don't think any got posted. So I was wondering if anyone may have any...

    Power Brake booster removal?

    Thanks to both. Well, I was planning on removing the seats anyway. Stripping the car down to the shell and hoping I don't find much more rust than there already is showing. In fact I got the rear seat out tonight, floors seem solid so far. I still need to get the carpet out. Front seats are...

    Power rack, anything I should save?

    Thanks. I am pretty sure that this rack is not so good. Been sitting for at least 9 years. A lot of that time outside without a hood or an engine. You never know for sure, but I am going to be planning on a new one when the time comes. Russ

    Cast Aluminum spoke wheels, worth anything?

    Sorry, don't have those. Just fenders, doors, and hood and I will be using them. I do have the dash out of it, not sure what to do with it yet. The dash in my car seems perfect, but I don't know if the electrical stuff works. Russ

    Cast Aluminum spoke wheels, worth anything?

    Sure, no problem. And the check is in the mail too. :-) Seriously, is a CobraII what they came on normally? It makes sense. The p.o. had one that he killed. I have lots of parts off of it also. I thought it was funny when I saw the page on the other site that there were Ghia wheels but mine...

    Got the 76 home

    Fun being the operative word. :D Been spending an hour or so after work on it the last couple of nights. Got a lot done towards getting the engine compartment empty. Have to be careful about noise though. I work second shift, so I am out ther at around 2-3AM. Can't be doing anything loud...

    Cast Aluminum spoke wheels, worth anything?

    Per the mustangii.net wheel id page anyway. The car came with these on it, have all center caps even. My question is are these desirable at all? If so, I may sell them, otherwise they most likely will be going on my Pinto. I definitely won't be using these on the stang, I will be going...

    Power rack, anything I should save?

    '76, if that matters. Sooner or later I will be taking the front suspension off, including the steering. Plans are for a manual rack when I get the car together, I don't want/like power steering for the most part. Especially on a "fun" car like this is going to be. So are there any...

    A few more questions

    Thanks. I agree the 9 is stronger. But it also weighs more. And costs more(since everyone wants one)(parts are similar in price though once you get a rear). If I put a mega horsepower/torque engine in then the 9 is the only way to go. But for a stockish V8 with a streetable automatic and...

    Adding set of headlights in grille

    Thanks. If I ever get approved on that site I will just ask the people who have them how they did it. I could always experiment with it, but right now the car is apart and won't be together anytime soon. Plus I only have one extra grille, so I don't want to cut into it until I know what I am...

    Besides under the rear axle housing, where to place jackstands

    Thanks. I am not sure if the rockers are ok or not. I ought to just use the stands under the rear axle so I can get under the car and see what shape everything is in. Can you tell I am a little reluctant to get under the car? :rlaugh: I haven't gotten used to the amount of rust that cars...

    Power Brake booster removal?

    Well, my Chilton's doesn't seem worth the $8 I paid for it. It hardly has any useful information. Guess I need to save up for a factory service manual on cd. Anyways, how do I remove the power brake booster? Can't find the nuts/bolts. Are they got to from inside the car? I already have the...

    Besides under the rear axle housing, where to place jackstands

    Thanks. Didn't think about the bumper mount. That would probably be the best until after I get the leaf springs out. Russ
