    Bump steer kits..any good?

    I went with the Baer Tracker kit. Installed it a month ago, haven't driven the car since (at paint shop). I bought the kit from jegs or summit a year ago for about $160. If I did it over I'd buy from Dallas Mustang for only $110...

    LED dash light report

    I had installed new blue lenses in my cluster along with new bulbs (not leds). But the lighting is still green. I think the original intention was for the lights to be blue, but mixing blue covers with yellow incandescent lights produces a green hue.

    Trans Slip Yoke the same for T5 and T5Z?

    Are both yokes 28 spline and interchangeable? I need a new one for a T5Z but sellers aren't sure if the T5 yokes they are selling are interchangeable, and neither am I.... Thanks.

    Flex-a-lite fan

    "I refuse to use a flex fan because of a catastrophic accident I saw a few years ago . A friend was leaning over the front of the car and revved the engine he a blade came off the fan . The blade hit his neck and he bled to death before we could get any help . For those of you that choose to run...

    Header Bolts???

    It's been a (long) year, but IIRC the standard triple-nickel-plated alloy steel from Stage 8 are the way to go rather than the stainless ones, which are way more money. You'll still want to run some anti-sieze on the threads. On my '66 with a small block, if the header flange is 3/8" buy the 1"...

    Flex-a-lite fan

    Mechanical fans often work fine, but can be extremely dangerous and use too much hp.

    cheap tailight housing resto

    In a past life as a 944 turbo owner, I used this tape to brighten the dash lights by covering the old reflective tunnels that house the dash pod lights. Worked great there too. I wonder if we can brighten the Mustang dash lights with it? Hmm.

    Scott Drake eletric fan kit

    I had the standard radiator, edelbrock hi volume pump, and flex fan. But I just installed the Old Air electric fan kit from NPD, sold especially for the classic stang. Other vendors sell it too for $250 to $285. It bolts right in using the four radiator attachment bolts. Has three wire hook up...

    Any body seen a reall 1966 GT350 Convertible

    It's red The book's a great deal. I have another in the series (Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth) and it's great too. The car's red but I can't see a clean shot of the shifter in the photos (but it does have a tach so probably a stick)... It's described as the third of six built with serial...

    Any body seen a reall 1966 GT350 Convertible

    Six The book I referenced above says there were 6 GT350 convertibles built in '66, not intended for sale to the public, but rather as gifts to select Shelby employees (including Carroll). Carroll Shelby is listed in the Acknowledgments section so this seems like good info IMO.

    Any body seen a reall 1966 GT350 Convertible

    GT350 convertible in book I bought a Shelby book at Borders recently. Pages 80-82 have 10 color pix of Shelby's personal GT350 convertible along with some relevant info. Not a lot, but hadn't seen anything about it before. I think this is the same book online, but I stopped in at Borders...

    Radiator caps...what rating to use?

    Just wondering, is there a difference on cap pressure if a non-stock overflow tank or catch can is added? I'm thinking of adding a catch can next to the radiator on my 66, not sure if I'll need a new cap...

    Adjustable strut rods

    I bought the Global West pieces online. I think they were 330 delivered. I'm in North Raleigh and the car's off 70 and 540 getting painted this month and next. You can see the GW pieces on the car if you ever want to drive over there to check it out.

    new door skin question

    I bought a pair of the whole door assemblies or shells from NPD last year. They fit fine, but were moderately wavy and required hours to get looking perfectly flat. (My original doors were rotted enough to need replacement.) Just something to keep in mind if you go that route.

    Stock Axle Retaining Plates Needed with Rear Baer Brake Kit?

    Thanks, I figured I'd quit boring my wife with the details and type them up... :D Also thanks for the proper brake line routing. I'm doublechecking my photos and I think it was like that before I got my hands on it. Changing the routing would free up some room for the tailpipes too. It's...

    Stock Axle Retaining Plates Needed with Rear Baer Brake Kit?

    Ok great news. Actually we didn't remove the bearings. They had been replaced previously. We cut off the retaining plates (but saved them). We were in a hurry that day.... :rolleyes:

    Stock Axle Retaining Plates Needed with Rear Baer Brake Kit?

    We mounted the rear Baer disc brakes a few months ago while my 66 coupe is getting painted. At the time, we did not use the stock axle retaining plates since the stock hardware was not long enough with the thick Baer caliper brackets. (Also, the retaining plate sitting over the Baer bracket...

    Is stainless OK for restoration nuts & bolts?

    I dropped off a box of bead blasted parts (including original hardware) at a place here in Raleigh, NC called Surtronics. I had them zinc plated with a clear chromate (so they ended up shiny silver) but they offer black too and other colors. It cost $110 but would only be $55 for just hardware...

    Caulk, sealer, or undercoating? Need info please

    In the cowl area and the side boxes behind the fenders there's far more seam sealer than that area actually needs, particularly with today's high-quality seam sealers. That old seam sealer looks like it was applied with a big brush and they just wanted complete coverage to last as long as...
