    Why does it cost so friggin much to install a headliner?

    From what i've seen and heard its no easy task to install the older headliners, you have to remove the rear and pull the front windshield as well, doing it right you often have to call a pro in. plus its all upside down work. Idk though thats just what the ppl i've talked to have told me. i've...

    Electrical Nightmares...

    So, Let me get it straight: The brake lights, instrument lights, and dome light stay on all the time whether or not the car is turned on or not? It might be time to redo the wiring if it's original wiring. But do you know if the light switch works or not. The instrument gauge, and brake...

    3 vs 2 point seat belts

    Hey guys, thanks for chiming in with your opinions and experiences. As for my decisions I'm going for 3 point belts, and possibly 4's if i can put in and hide it well with the rest of the interior. For the back seats i'm thinking of keeping the 2s. I concur with the helmet mentality. I don't...

    3 vs 2 point seat belts

    So after reading that safety thread I began thinking about the 3 vs 2 point arguments. I've read that a few people don't believe that 3 point seat belts aren't any better than 2 points. How come? I'm thinking of upgrading my 2 point seat belts to a 3 points with inertia reels. But after...

    Just how safe can you feasibly get a first generation Mustang to be?

    Sorry, but i agree with them. Safety will never be the same as a new car. It just won't they were built differently. I live in Los Angeles and every once in a while the speeds go from 65 to 0 and believe me its scary, keeping in mind i have power brakes and drum brakes. I almost had to pull...

    heater not working on my 65

    Nice! if that elbow is rusted though, i'd suggest replacing it; they're not too expensive. If it gets bad it will cause irregularities in the flow to the heater core, and it might cause that heater core to go bad in a few months. And as you probably know; they're a pita to replace. There was a...

    Starting Help!

    Does it sound like a loud metallic screech? Mine does that every once in a while, people say that it might be because there's a bad spot on my flywheel. However, if i bump the starter a few times it starts. Another thing that also works is putting the car in neutral or reverse, and moving it a...

    Stereo Head Units

    Also if you're good with soldering and dont care about warranty; i saw a few people wire the faceplate only to a ribbon wire and mount it on the driver side visor, the rest of the unit can go anywhere, like under the driver's seat or in the back somewhere, or in the glove box. I've seen it...

    Help!...Need some opinions and a few ?'s

    That's the question that i think the majority of people ask when they get a classic, to restomod it, keep it original or totally customize. The answer is do whatever makes you happy. IMO unless there is something drastically rare about your car, do whatever you want to it. However, it does...

    Seat tracks

    So i went to lowes and what not got bolts, but... luck ran out, I was using 3/8 in hex bolts that were a 1 1/2 inch long and wow they were hard to get it, but i only was planning on replacing 2, the other problem was that they were to thick and didn't allow the bolts that attach the seat track...
