    What Nuts?

    I'm changing out the UCA shaft bolts that hold the shaft to the car. I bought grade 8 bolts and nuts. My question to those of you that have done this, what did you use for nuts? A standard nut and a lock washer, or other? The stock nuts have what looks like an integral washer on the nut, but...

    adios amigos

    If we put half as much energy into writing about tech topics as we do bitching and moaning about how bad and non-tech it is around here, this forum would once again be a cornicopia of tech info. I know I've personnaly killed a few too many hours of my life reading the bickering, but it's kind...

    New Dash Pics

    Unfortunately for me it's a lot easier to add aftermarket gauges to a '67-'68 factory bezel than a '66, especially if you want a tach. Even harder for a guy with a '65 equiped with idiot lights and all related wiring behind the dash. JME's website lists that package comes with Autometer...

    New Dash Pics

    JME's website said starting at $850, that's what I was comparing to your total of approx. $685. Less than $200 delta, unless you get hammered on shipping charges with JME. You can, however, say you did it yourself. :nice:

    StangNets Classic forum, The Next Titanic

    It is sad to see some quality posters go, and everyone should be reminded frequently that tech is tech and talk is talk. That being said, I see nothing wrong with the discussions, even the heated ones, that we have here, up until the personal attacks start. We are all human beings and have...

    New Dash Pics

    It does look very nice, but I think for the money you have tied up in it, I would have just gone with a JME billet for a couple hundred dollars more.

    Interested in a billet gauge bezel/console?

    I'd definitely be interested in a 6 gauge layout, and matching glove box door for a 65-66

    Looking to buy a vintage stang

    Try these two, I've been out of Tidewater for several years so I'm not sure which one will suit your needs the best. http://www.geocities.com/mustangcluboftidewater/page-1.html http://www.sevmc.org/index.htm Good luck. And about the cowl, the best test is to just turn on the garden...

    Looking to buy a vintage stang

    How can you forget the floorpans! The cowl is probably the biggest one, though. That's a MAJOR PITA to fix. There is a pretty good Mustang club in Tidewater. I would try to get in touch with them, go to a meeting, and maybe get one of the classic guys to stop by and take a look. Edit: Oh...

    Anyone else have their speedo start ticking?

    I can't imagine why people would get defensive around here. :rolleyes:

    Rental repair service bays?

    I think the commercial auto hobby shops are a thing of the past in this sue crazy society we have now. No one can afford the liability insurance to run a business that allows any yahoo with a set of wrenches to play with a hydraulic lift. Only places I've heard of them being is on military...

    Whats the dumbest mod youve seen someone do to their car?

    I saw a nice looking '67 coupe six with the Triton V8 stickers from an F150 where the displacement emblems for a V8 stang would be.

    Cool Java Script Game (warning: massive waste of time enclosed)

    Pretty cool. Did you make it through? I made it through level 12 yesterday, did level 13 today. I hate addictive games like this, but not as much as my wife does.

    BBFCM Cancer treatment UPDATE......:

    Best of luck, Stanger. My Mom had the stem cell harvest thing done 4 years ago for her Leukemia treatment. So far, so good, but we still have our fingers crossed. Hope it goes as well for you. We will all keep our fingers crossed.

    FLASH: Randalls Rack used with longtube headers!

    Good call on the blackjacks, look a lot like the set of blackjacks I have on my '65, allthough I can't be sure they are identical.

    Ever been in the middle of a bomb scare ??????

    We had a couple in my dorm freshman year of college. They were pranks. Got hung up in traffic in Hampton, VA because of pipe bomb incidents, turns out there was a state trooper that wanted attention so he would build pipe bombs, plant them in buildings, then be a hero by finding and diffusing...

    Advise please on LED Taillights

    I've heard that the LED's weren't as bright in all directions as bulbs. Straight on LED's are brighter, but the further you go off to the side the dimmer they get. Any truth? As I recall part of the reasoning was that bulbs shine in 360 degrees and take advantage of the reflectivity of the...

    Gauge cluster

    OK, I tried doing a searcha nd came up empty as to if anyone has used either of the two gauge clusters in these ebay auctions, but couldn't find anything, so I'll ask the question. Has anyone bought either of these or seen how they look installed? Seems like a good alternative (and less...
