    Fabbed valve cover for SBF?

    I've never had any other covers than the cast FRPP: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=FMS%2DM%2D6582%2DE302P&N=700+4294839018+4294919746+4294908331+4294840125+4294889096+4294903401+115&autoview=sku Good looking and seals well. I like fabricated covers too but...

    Lowering my 69

    Get some "620" front springs with lowering like these: http://www.mustangsplus.com/xcart/product.php?productid=1038&cat=2128&page=1 They will only give you 1" drop so a Shelby mod is also in order. Rear without much give at all means a 5-leaf setup like...

    Your thoughts: Panhard bar & Ron Morris coil overs?

    Thanks. I've got tubular weld-in subframe connectors and am considering a rear sway bar. A roll bar (as in cage) wont happen, I'm going for as close to stock as possible for the interior. A compromise I know.

    Your thoughts: Panhard bar & Ron Morris coil overs?

    Well, I've been at the local track a few times in my 69. It REALLY works well with the current setup and tires. I'm running with the M3's and the Porsches, much to their disliking. :p I'm trying out a set of Kumho race tires next time out and Cobra disk brakes will go in at the same time...

    Powermaster 140 amp alternator squealing and heat

    I was so frustrated by belt squealing that I ended up running a 3" blower belt on blower pulleys. :eek: End of squeal & slipping + has a nice whine to it.

    Novel sunroof (funny!)

    Modern seats with classic look (pics)

    Prices are each and tracks for one seat is about $50 on top of that. If it seems expensive, remember that these are made in Euro-land (Italy) and that the Euro is mush higher than the US$ (courtesy GW Bush :D ).

    Modern seats with classic look (pics)

    Oh, and fit: I'm 6'3 and 100kg and they are just perfect. On installation: I drilled 1 new hole in each seat bracket to get the same front to rear mounting hole distance as the original 69 seats, then drilled 4 new holes in the seat pan 15mm outside the old ones. Using those it was a snap to...

    Modern seats with classic look (pics)

    Had these pointed out to me by a member here: http://www.bf-torino.de/BF-Sitze/bf-sitze.html All in German but the short of it is that they make a range of seats for 60-70 sports cars. This is how my 912R's turned out in the 69 HT: Very high quality, excellent service and prompt...

    Max rubber on 69

    Actually its originally a Grande. The GT theme is to underline the build idea behind. Italian style Gran Tourismo = cruiseable corner carver.

    Max rubber on 69 (pics) Just to share the info: inspired by Streetkings immaculate black 69 Sportsroof (http://www.1969stang.com/mustang/forum/showthread.php?t=2301&highlight=streetking), I got his exact wheel setup and duplicated it (almost, I have a different front end). His setup is: *...

    Ride height questions- Reverse eyes, oh my

    5-leaf grab-a-track springs and HD shackles with poly bushings. No squeaks, 4 months and counting. Really nice feel & response through the corners on the local track. Polyurethane does not have to squeak! :dead:

    What gauges to use

    Have you considered these: http://www.speedhut.com/default.asp?bhcp=1 I have a few and am extremely pleased with them. I have them with white faces and Ford Racing logo but the beauty is that you design the faces yourself incl colors.

    Hot Squealing 3G alternator conversion

    I swapped to a 100 amp and had problems when revving really fast when drawing power (lights, fan, heater, car pc). The engine would spool up faster than the belt could make the alternator do = squealing. Really annoying! Tried more/less tension, new belt. Ended up swapping to a cog belt drive...

    T&L or TandL engines experience? - crate engines w/warranty?

    A good friend of mine just recieved his stroker from them. VERY nice motor at the right price. BUT 3 months over time, probably called them 200 times to check/speed progress. Very competent builders but they do need to run their business more professionally in order not to drown in their own...
