    got to buy a compressor - need your advice pls

    If you want to paint (and more than just a little at a time), I think you will want a bigger one. What is the environment you have to put this in/power it with? (Aka, you limitations)

    Mice!

    Moth balls, some sonic sound type emitting devices. Best thing you can do is to have a cat live in the car (or around) for awhile. Mice move out when cats move in. Also, put lots of traps around to catch the mice (even after you get ride of this group of them).

    1968 coupe purchase advice

    Also being from WI, what kind of rust is on the car? Is body work in the future? Buying a car with body work already done is far cheaper in the long run due to paint costs and labor. (Unless you can do this yourself.) Also, being a V8 in an I6 car, that car will have way more engine...

    Selling car need advice

    I forgot, also make sure that the issuing bank is real and not that you are talking to this guy's best friend on some fake setup cell phone or something. Also, beware fake escrow companies that are really working with the seller to scam you. If you go with escrow, make sure they are legit...

    Selling car need advice

    If you settle on a cashiers check of some sort, your best proection is to call the bank that issued it to make sure it is valid. Even if the fake check has a valid transaction id, it won't likely be for your amount. (If they guy is good enough to get the transaction id of a check that matches...

    manual brakes.. who has them?

    I have factory manual front disks as well. They feel like any "normal" car for the most part, but if you need to stop in a hurry, you have to put your foot down. For the most part, you would never know they weren't power. My current car, a Fusion, has stiffer brakes that require more effort...

    VIN stamped on engine block?

    On 289s, you can only see the date code if the starter is removed or with a mirror and a lot of luck/carrots for good eye sight. This will at least tell you if it is possible for the block to belong to the car I have never seen a hipo block, so I don't know anymore about the VIN's...

    VIN stamped on engine block?

    Oh yeah, it is also rumored a few block slipped without being stampped, but now-a-days, that just means someone found a matching non k-code block and claimed it was one that wasn't stamped. Don't fall for it. Also, the tranmission should have a vin stamp too. From pics I have seen, they...

    mustang 66 six cylinder gt?

    If you really want it to be a "GT" I would say run it through the GT check list ignoring the missing V8 option. I am guessing it will fail something else, you turn on the fog lights, the tail lights won't come on (tail lights coming on indicate factory wiring vs dealer installed). Also...

    Hep Identify Tranny Year

    I am guessing this is a C4 and not a toploader as you say "value body"? The "C6XX-XXXX" casting tells me it is for the '66 and later model years. You have a 65 fastback, if you are looking for a "perfect match" this is not it and it isn't really close as the C6 casting screams 1966...

    Engine swap list

    The '90 T-Bird will have either a 5 speed manual (super coupes only came with these and had super charged v6 engines). Otherwise, it is a 4 speed AOD (automatic with over drive). BEWARED!! It could either be a v6 AOD or a v8 AOD. You want a v8 AOD. You can rebuild the v6 AOD to take...

    how much is a survivor 67 fastback worth?

    I am in the rust belt... so I would be happy to buy ANY fastback in this condition in that price range. I am going to have to disagree with that price range... or point back to my comment on finding "the right" buyer for resale.

    how much is a survivor 67 fastback worth?

    That is an amazing find. While it might be worth a lot, the problem is who all wants that original of a car? I would be afraid to drive the thing on the road for damaging its value. I think it is worth a lot. BUT, the number of people who would want to buy such a car (at its actual...

    Opinion on engine/trans purchase

    What part of the country are you in? Prices vary with location. Also, when you say new toploader... do you mean newly rebuilt or one of those fancy brand news ones? (Is it alum or steel?)

    autolite carb query

    If it is a "6S C" it is a California Emissions carb for a 390cu Thunderbird. Some say they work, others say they don't. I have seen people posted that they have run them, both with and without problems. The reason why some say they don't work is that they were designed to flow for a...

    someone bought my car and is having problems with the axle leaking oil...need info

    I bought a 65 mustang and the engine was blue. Looking at it before hand, the guy said it could have been repainted. Bought it, and when I did the checking (removing the starter and the bolts came out easy!), it was a 66. I had a good idea about it going in, so no big deal. This is the...

    Wrecked hopes / Fond Memories

    It is good to hear from you. So, to clear up any confusion, it is NOT rebuilt. The rebuilding process looks to be here: Rebuild and what we saw on your site was the original build (that was stolen/crashed). Good luck on your build. I have 289 parts kicking around (all in need of...

    Over the counter in 65?

    I think you will have a tough time figuring this out, because I know a lot of things we offered in the 60s, but if you say only over Ford's counter how do you know if it was from Ford or an extra that the Dealer carried? Do you mean was it FoMoCo stamped? (Or what if it was FoMoCo made and...
