    CSRP disc brakes have everything you will need in a kit that costs 524 dollars. Before you buy the scarebird, google them and read about concerns of the thickness of the brackets. The CSRP kit will give you the factory set up with 4 piston Kelsey hayes calipers. Best deal out there. 67-69...

    1965 Mustang rust repair

    Great work guys! The thing that comes to mind is the value of the coupe when it is all done. I am guessing there must have been a big sentimental value for doing it. In my opinion this level and quality of work would have been more appropriate for a Fastback or Vert. Nice job Rusty

    3 Speed Auto to T-5 Conversion

    I converted my 3 speed to a T5 in the 66 and love it. The original 3.00 rear gears are too high for "performance" driving and I have a new 3.55 Trac Lok I am putting in soon. I documented much of the work if you are interested: How to ID a T5 T5 Hydraulic clutch Drive shaft Decided what bell...

    Disc brake conversion

    Glad it was resolved. Dennis is a very responsive dealer to work with and his products are a great value and high quality. Sounds like he made it right. I have dealt with many parts houses that have the attitude of not even attempting to make it right regardless of who made the error.
