Well, I found a decoder online. From that, I was able to find out the info on the car. Originally it was:in 65 the color would have been poppy red, code 3 ,i dont believe the color was carried over to 66, if it is the origional orange check the door tag ,if it has 5 didgits
it is a special order color usualy from the san jose plant in california ,known as the
rainbow of color cars,flower power orange, they had some prety wild colors
Wow, cool. Have never had it done that way. Guess I am a little behind the times! lolyou can take the car to your local paint supply shop, they have a hand held scanner
that will tell you the exact color match
Will do that! Thanks!check the ruber fill neck tube in the trunk it may be rotten or split, its prety comon
yes at my local dupont dealer ,its great for touch ups to get an exact matchWow, cool. Have never had it done that way. Guess I am a little behind the times! lol
For your Power Steering components you will need, IIRC, a power steering center link and left inner and outer tie-rod ends, the pump and lines and control valve/ram. Again, with the exception 0f the pump these are somewhat '65-66 Mustang-specific. A very popular installation now is the Borgeson integral power steering box which eliminates many of the "issues" with the OE-style PS.
Keep searching this, and other, forums for more comments.
[quote="bartl, And to actually show you I know something about GM's, I believe the 229 shares the internal dimensions with the 305 and the 262 (4.3) shares it's with the 350.
The quarters are only bad at the very bottom.... rust issues. Rather than replacing the entire quarter, I think I am just going to buy the lower quarter replacements. Much cheaper that way. Besides, I don't really see the need to replace the entire fender when there is just a little rust issue at the bottom. Mustangs Umlimited has the quarter patch panels for like $22 ea. Seems like the way to go to me, unless someone on here knows something I dont???
On a different note, I have noticed a very strong gas smell within the cabin of the car when I fuel it up. Not sure what's causing it. Any suggestions?
ex wife? dude thats a self portrait. i have been collecting and restoring mustangs so longBelieve me, it is WAY cheaper than my Mercedes projects!!! lol!!And please do me a favor and refrain from posting any more pictures of my ex-wife....
I was also wanting to ask a stereo question..... What are all of your thoughts about putting a stereo in these things? They have the "old style" look radios which allow you to preserve the originality of the car. But is it really worth it, or is it better just to modify the car to use a common stereo? Since this is a standard coupe with a straight 6, I don't see where modifying it to use a modern stereo would really hurt the value. If it were a shelby or a convertible or whatever, I could see where it would matter. But I am thinking it really wouldn't matter on this car. Ain'r like this car is gonna have a $60k price tag either way....... Thoughts???? I am kinda leaning towards modifying it for a common stereo...
To get a modern stereo to work you need to cut the dash. Good enough reason for me to go the route of converting an original radio to an AM/FM/MP3 - - - http://garytayman.com/stereo.htm
