    Never seen this

    It does look like it could use a brace across the top but other than that it looks like a good low-buck solution. Dude, have a beer, chill out or something. Did ford screw you over a pinto once upon a time? Or are you trying to pick a fight? Let it go already.

    Hood Scoop Choices

    The cougar scoop looks good. I don't care much for a cowl scoop, it eliminates the center contours on the hood which I consider a key design element of the 69s & 70s. I always liked the cobrajet scoop, nice and subtle. My plans for the 69 are to modify a glass hood by adding a nostril scoop on...

    BOSS 429

    I'm pretty certain the shock towers were physically moved outboard along with the lower suspension mounting points. Boss 429s have a wider front track than other 69 & 70s mustangs. Kar Kraft of Brighton, Mi. did the modifications to the cars back in the day. I've not seen any specific details in...

    Headlight Extension Repair

    Yes, the front valance bolts up there. I've not found a way yet. I ripped a hole open in the grill area on my left one taking it off. I talked with a welder at work and our welding supplier rep. The rep gave me some tig rod and some instructions on how to repair it using a torch. I put a small...

    anyone use this

    No experience what-so-ever with that type of thing. My first impression though is it's a waste of money. If bolting on much stouter heads and intake won't stop a block from twisting, that dinky girder sure won't. With the heads and intake properly torqued in place you've effectively triangulated...

    Pipe thread and fittings questions

    Pipe thread size is based on the ID of the hole through the fitting or pipe and not the thread itself. The fuel line may be straight thread. I've found the easiest thing to do is take the old line/fitting/or component with you to match the thread for what you need. The best place to get your...

    cleveland parts

    I was gone on vacation for a week and thought I'd drop in on some good discussion on 351C parts. What's up with the Ford bashing? Mikethebike, if you want to continue with your superiority attitude, take it to one of the talk forums. It's OT and belongs elsewhere. I come here to see what I can...

    69 Coupe correct side window weatherstrip

    Trim with weatherstrip on the door glass & bare glass egde on the quarter glass. I believe 70 is the reverse. If other configurations work get what you can and install it.

    headliner WTF

    Short of pulling it out and gluing it to the roof you could run an aluminum strip from side to side screwing it to the roof cross beam or front to rear down the center attaching it to the inside windshield framing at the front, to the cross beam at the center and to the back glass framing at the...

    351 Cleveland 2 piece valves

    Seen it happen. Was out with a friend who had a 71 Torino GT with a 351C. It wasn't stock but it wasn't radically built either. We were out playing and it started running rough. We headed back to where he stored the car. He shut it off when we got there. Got out to open the barn doors, got back...

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    The tradeoff here is time/labor vs money/traditional paint process. Those of us who don't want to or can't afford to spend the money on a more traditional paint job would rather spend what we do have, time, for a decent paint job. I don't know if DJ didn't do any research before going into this...

    Not road racing:Is Global West overkill?

    It depends on what you want. If you're just wanting to tighten up your steering and suspension, rebuilding the factory setup with urethane bushings will be sufficient. If you want better performance there are several options from better OEM type parts to replacing everything with mustang II...

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    I've been following the thread on moparts.com and there are at least a dozen people who have posted some impressive results and at least a dozen more with their paint jobs in process. Some with the Tremclad/Rustoleum paints and some with the Brightside boat paint. If you're faithful in...

    toploader interchange

    I don't think the 385 big block toploader is interchangeable with the FE big block toploader. I believe the input shaft is larger on the 426/460 version. I seem to remember reading that somewhere. I'm sure you can verify it somewhere on the net but I can't think of the site right now.

    Attention Fathers.... Trying to be a smart dad...

    :lol: I have to laugh every time someone says this cause this was never an issue for me. My wife knew I wouldn't get rid of it so the subject never came up. She did make me get rid of the woman warrior riding a chariot and driving a team of tigers tapestry when we got married. :D I would...
