    Suspension is done...again

    I will get pics of the 4 link when I get the car back up in the air... Right now, I have no exhaust pipes :D It is dumped under the backseat. Im going to see what we can do about exhaust. I think it will end up with side exit exhaust.

    Suspension is done...again

    Been working hard on the '66 suspension. I found out that you speed up if you slow down. The front was pretty easy, just built cups for the front and welded in plates for the lower control arms. The rear was a PAIN IN THE ASS. I converted it over to a 4 link... not a lot of room in that little...

    Tank armor question

    pop rivets are much stronger than people give them credit for. Airplanes are put together with them and lots of other things are as well. My buddy builds race cars and the whole interior is put together with pop rivets. I think tank armor is more to protect the gas tank than structure for...

    Tank armor question

    Didnt even realize that company was still around... Kinda expensive if you ask me. Steel prices are through the roof but if you have welder, this is something anyone can do. Hell, you dont even need a welder, you can probably pop rivet all of it together.

    Should i mod my mustang?

    How much money are you looking to spend. With motor upgrades comes suspension upgrades. Next thing you know, you have $10k more into the car.

    Need to fix electrical fire

    thats right... I had a brain fart or something. You should be able to replace it and be fine. If you battery and alternator are fine, just check the fuses under the dash.

    Need to fix electrical fire

    I dont recall the black/yellow going to the starter solenoid. The left side should be off the battery +, the left pin gets the start signal from the key, I forget what the right small pin is for, and the big right lug goes to the starter.

    I need some help!

    Go with a 5 speed.. You can pick up a t5 for pretty cheap. It is a great daily driver transmission.

    66 Door/Window alignment help

    yep...drip rails are shaved. They are still pretty rough, it needs a lot of bodywork. It should be fine as long as the window seals.

    8.8"

    I just get my driveshafts made at the local truck shop. Not aluminum but they are great quality and made for big rigs. You supply the ends and they supply the tube. Costs $75 + $1/inch of pipe. So, roughy $130 + ujoints.

    66 Door/Window alignment help

    For some reason the drivers door window doesnt line up correctly. It is pushed out about 1/4" and doesnt seal on the upper weatherstrip. Anyone know how to fix this? These are original doors. The passenger side fit like a charm. The rear 1/4 window on the drivers side is fine as well. I...

    8.8 fitment in 66?

    I think the easiest way would be put the perch on the leaf springs, then put the rear end on top of that. Point the pinion down a few degrees and tighten up the u-bolts that hold the rear end in place. Jack up the rear end to ride height (basically when the car comes off the jackstands, and...

    8.8 fitment in 66?

    Correct... The crank pulley is exactly 90* from the driveline angle (tailshaft angle). The problem with using the tailshaft angle is the casing is a cone and will give you the incorrect angle. Here is picture on what it should look like: Using the crank pulley will give you the...

    8.8 fitment in 66?

    go to your local home depot and pick up an angle finder. It is magnetic and always points up. It will give you the degree amount from 90*. The goal is to have your rear end parallel with the drivetrain angle. Put the angle finder on the crank pulley and get the angle. If the drivetrain...

    What isthe most cost effective way to bag a stang?

    Front end will be modified lower control arms (mustang II) with cups to mount the bags. The rear is a Thorbecke Brothers 4 link kit. Going to mount the lower bars in the place of the leaf springs, and the upper bars will triangulate to the middle of the car. The top bars will be the same...

    What isthe most cost effective way to bag a stang?

    I feel your pain. Im looking at $1600 to bag the front and rear. I really didnt want to but my front crossmember sits 4" off the ground right now and I just cant afford for the steering rack to smash on stuff or bend the crossmember going 60mph on the highway.

    modern parking brake classic stang

    just weld in the piece of the floor...much easier than trying to make it fit. You have to have the recessed area of the gear for it to work right. To the OP: here is a great writeup on a fox brake handle install http://home.bresnan.net/~dazed/e-brake
