    Steering box slop

    I adjusted my 65 box and it`s working pretty good now, that was about 4 years ago. When you tighten after you can almost feel when its far enough, it`ll snug up a little, stop right there.

    67 Coupe Panel Alignment HELP!

    Just fyi, from my very limited exp on this topic, I highly suggest an extra pair of hands, this is next to impossible with one person trying to do it all. I have burnt lots of hours trying this by myself, and this will drive you nuts without help. I`m pretty sure 2 guys can do this in about...

    I also welcome you to Stangnet, great group of car guys here. I never could have forseen the issues I got into when I got this car 5 years ago, but everytime I got stuck I got great advice on how to get myself rolling again.

    Powdercoating the stainless trim around windows

    They sand blast your chrome before they powdercoat it, I guess it depends on how bad the pitting is.

    fiberglass hoods

    Well I just bought the 65 shelby hood from stangaholics, they build to order so yall will be hearing from me in about 3 weeks, happy or mad. FYI, the hoods they offer with the steel frame are dynacorn, not made by the same guy that makes their solid fiberglass peices...

    fiberglass hoods

    I hope I made a mistake sanding my car...

    Thanks for the info on the Duplicolor, I knew it had to have some drawbacks cause it just sounds too easy. Now I see what some of those drawbacks are. This is pretty frustrating when you don`t really know what your doing, but at $50 an hour at a bodyshop, I got plenty of room to screwup and...

    fiberglass hoods

    I`m not getting much feedback like I had hoped, looks like choices are meiyer racing (I`ve heard nothing but bad about those guys), K.A.R (has bad rep but could be because they were selling meiyer stuff before they tooled up), and Brownlow, which at $650 is still looking like the best option...

    fiberglass hoods

    I went with stangaholics spoilered deck lid and end caps and couldn`t be more pleased with the product, it was easy as pie, took like 2 hours including the bondo work to shape them up. I want a 67 shelby style for my 65, and they don`t sell them or I`d know where to go.

    So does anyone know how K.A.R. worked out? I need a fiberglass hood and I don`t want a peice of junk either.

    I hope I made a mistake sanding my car...

    Some sort of base coat clear coat system, I`m trying to keep it simple. I been looking at the Duplicolor paints that are ready to spray, but I`m not sure if I might be giving up quality for conveince in that case.

    I hope I made a mistake sanding my car...

    Yea the guidecoat is hard as a rock, you could chip a fingernail off just trying to pick at it. Its also on there really heavy (i used 2 cans on the car) which may be making it worse. They make this look so easy on Horsepower TV on saturdays.....LOL Thanks for the reply, I`m sure you`ll be...
