    Need Help! Proper Way To Smooth Body Lines

    no cracks yet, but haven't driven to much. I think with a proper weld, it won't crack. It is more brittle than the original sheet metal, but very strong.

    How many CFM needed for electric fan?

    Need Help! Proper Way To Smooth Body Lines

    I did what he said, good luck with the caps. Maybe some sort of adhesive. They make stuff now that is pretty tough and doesn't shrink.

    Best auto tranny for mild 351

    I'd run a C-4, but wanted to let you know a TH400 will fit. I couldn't find anyone with one in a 65-66 when I was trying to decide. Mu current build will be pushing the limits of a C4 and I know I will upgrade again at some point, so I made the jump to the TH400.

    How do you "physically" paint an engine bay?

    When I did mine everything was off the front (I assume yours is too). I supported the front end underneath the cab of the car (I think it was slightly aft of where the front subframe ends. I inclined it some to so I could crawl underneath the core support without rubbing. Used a small gun...

    1966 Mustang Welding. Which Welder Would You Recommend?

    Did someone buy them? I just found the same welder and parts available for the one I bought on line from multiple sources. Not that I have had anything break on it, but might get a replacement gun if they really are going out of business. I've almost melded it on many occasions...

    1966 Mustang Welding. Which Welder Would You Recommend?

    I would say get the gas, makes things easier. I went cheap and got a 110v Clarke. I've had no problems and have done everything from sheet metal repairs, floor pans, roof repair, frame work, engine plate brackets, and a ton of other fab work.

    Hydraulic Roller Lifter Install Clearance

    why not just pull the intake to change the lifters? Also, what about the metal in the engine from the cam lobe? Might want to tear it down anyways.

    Labor Cost To Install Mustang Ii Front Suspension

    sawzall and a grinder would work on the shock towers (I'd probably drill the spot welds to start and cut what wouldn't come out). After doing metal work myself, if you have the time and patience I bet you could do it if you are mechanically inclined. The kits come with good instructions...

    Quick Driveline Question, Old Vs. New...

    I had a T5 as I was looking at less rotating mass and drag on the drive line. As far as straight line driving, not sure if the T5 would have ever been faster than the C4. There is probably more potential, but I don't think I would ever get to the point where my driving and all the other...

    How To Roll A Wheel Lip

    I did this without the wire, then welded the lip to the quarter on the rears. I did it with it installed, and sat underneath. Probably had to fix a little more due to the welding (putting heat in the thin metal (Chinese quarters)), but extra clearance is nice.

    Been Burned Once With A Header Purchase And Don't Want To Get Burned Again!

    I 2nd horse sense, it would really suck to have to put a dimple in a coated header. It will cost more to coat after fitting, but you will be sure they fit like you want with all adjustments made.

    Been Burned Once With A Header Purchase And Don't Want To Get Burned Again!

    T5 Crossmember For 68?

    http://www.moderndriveline.com/images/threecrossmember65-70.jpg I got one similar to the 67-70 in my 66 when I had a T5, I like it because there is fore/aft room for the tranny in case it isn't where it should be. In my case I had move my motor back a bit.
