    Guess What? The Engine Guy Got His Car!

    Those 5 slots are cool. I dig them.

    How to Pick a Modern Suspension?

    I would upgrade to a stock 8 inch rear end, not 8.8. Have you seen these sites? http://www.fordsix.com/ http://www.classicinlines.com/ http://www.cliffordperformance.net/

    How to Pick a Modern Suspension?

    I don't necessarily agree about the rear springs. I have 4 leaf GT springs and its pretty stiff. I could not imagine how bad it would be with 5 leaf. I would say 4.5 leaf is the most I would ever even consider. I agree about the sway bar comment. Mine handles really well with a larger...

    How to Pick a Modern Suspension?

    I'll also advise you to do what 2+2 said. There is nothing really wrong and not much to be gained especially on a street car by changing from the stock suspension. I'll add this. I would not run big wheels and tires. Not only do they look terrible on classics, but the 200 will not like...

    Brake pedal travel

    Did you upgrade or change the master cylinder to something other than stock? If so, you may need a longer actuating or push rod.

    Smell in the cabin? No idea where it's coming from

    Mine does this a little bit too, and I have never been able to fully get rid of it.

    3.8/auto swap into 68? Possible?

    I would rather have a 200-250 I6. You can do a few things to it and it will make decent power. The 3.8 is not a motor that I think is all too great. I have known more than a few people that have had issues with them.

    65 w/ 17" black steel wheels... anyone have em?

    I hate polishing aluminum wheels too. Thats why I put the stock wheels back on my F150. I like the white spokes on your car Iskwezm. I really think having it done body color is a great idea. I don't care for that road race look, unless the car is used for that purpose.

    Headlight bulbs

    I know they are direct replacements. Adding relays is still a good idea even with the stock bulbs. It will make them brighter and take the load off the switch.

    65 w/ 17" black steel wheels... anyone have em?

    That will definitely cheapen your car. I really like what you have now. What about chrome instead? Another option would be something more like the Bullitt wheels since you want 17s. That would go with your paint color nicely. A while back someone put those on his 67 and it looked not so...

    Front suspension questions

    I am interested to know which side each goes on for the poly/rubber mix. I would bet that poly goes on the front and rubber on the back. I still think the adjustable heim joint strut rods are the way to go though.

    GT-350 Rocker Stripes on a Coupe

    If you must do a rocker stripe, do a solid one like 65coupe408w. I would not put GT350 stripes on anything except a Shelby or a well done Shelby clone. I still think the rocker molding looks better than any stripe. Hey 65coupe408w, do you still have the Cragar SS wheels? Your car looks...

    Wheels for my '73

    I would probably run 235 60 15 on all four.

    65' Stang with a 68' Shelby Hood

    I'm glad you like it, I think it really does look better than the 68 style. Sorry, I don't know about the quality of them.

    Headlight bulbs

    Those are still coated or colored bulbs. They are about the best of that variety you can get, but still inferior. The relay setup usually uses a little heavier gauge wiring.

    Headlight bulbs

    I'm with KhanTyranitar. Retrofitted HID setups are illegal for a reason. The optics of the headlight assembly are incorrect. They produce excessive glare to oncomming drivers. Every time I see one coming the other way, I wish a had a laser sighted pellet gun.

    Installed Derale Electric Fan

    I see what you mean now. Thats what I would want to use too.

    Wheels for my '73

    You shouldn't have any clearance issues. I don't on my 65.

    Wheels for my '73

    I agree with Magnum 500s looking awesome on 71-73, or any other classic Mustang for that matter. Those slot wheels are cool. My friend has them on his 74 Maverick. I have not seen them in 15s, only 14s. You can usually find good deals that might even have free shipping on Ebay from...
