    Help For The New Guy

    dont think the 289 will be twisting anything, maybe breaking a few things if it is as bad as it sounds. my suggestion is to think what you want and how much you want to spend and do some research on this board to try and figure this out. we have all been there in some respect but as you go...

    What to do: Keep car from gettin stolen.

    well this may work if you are car jacked or want to play nice with road rage people, but when your ride is broken into or stolen then it is just another item for them to pawn for $$$ personally I would attach an electric shock device to the steering wheel or something to give them something...

    ucstang

    the cost for exhaust is very small, and for the best fit it is probably worth the few extra bucks to just get header / manifold back done. most exhaust shops will charge the same $$ for labor because of the time it takes to cut and fit to existing pipes. At least that is what i have seen...

    What to do: Keep car from gettin stolen.

    No one suggested welding the doors shut and making it a starsky and hutch type of deal!! :) just kidding but seriously, I have 2 kill switches and if you want to take the time (aside from getting it towed) a fuel valve near the seat to cut the fuel off. I had this is my 64 ford PU and it was a...

    efi manifold problems?

    that looks nice in there. one question from the not so new engine savvy crowd, how do you figure all of this out? is there a convert your mustang to new technology 101 class I can take?? :) I would love to do some of this stuff and I am really handy with the wrenches I just get all mystified...

    Those w/ 65-66 cars w/ dashmount cd players

    with dash pad off I tacked a brace off the top of the metal part of the dash that dropped down. from that a usual stereo strap on the back. front side just used the bend down tabs from stereo. the dash is strong and will hold any stereo you attach to it (within reason :)

    dash and console work...

    interested to see this, sounds cool. was thinking of doing something like that but wife bought me a dash pad since our lil potato would be riding in it in the near future.

    How the frig does this dashpad come off?

    there are 4 studs with bolts that you need to get from the under side of the dash. two are in the middle behind the vent / speaker and there are two on either end that are a bear to get to. I took out my glove box and instrument panel to do it (was taking out anyhow) unless you want to shimmy...

    Help me pick my flame job!

    I have to say the red ghost flames look really nice, good contrast to the black, but the silver may fit your overall color scheme better. I still have to say personally I love the red flames. BTW what seat are those? they look really nice and I have been in the market for seats for a while...

    beat but not by much!!

    :D Okay today on lunch I was at the light next to a 04 GT with some mods (I could tell by the aftermarket exhaust) and it was a straight stretch with no cars, so we hit it. after 1/4 mile he only had me by about 2 - 3 car lengths. So I dont feel so bad with all the work I have done on...

    easy tilter

    wow.... not sure if I would trust it or not. It looks cool but it may be a bad idea to use your hubs to hold the weight of your car especially at that angle.
