New 65 Mustang, Help With Making It A Daily Driver! A

[pickneters]

Engine runs strong and has a t5 standard transmission. I'm not worried about interior as I can do that later myself. Exterior I will take to someone.(anyone know of a fair body shop in Atlanta area?)

More about safety. I'm ok with manual steering but confused about the conversion to dis brakes. I am confident I can do it myself, just worried about getting the wrong parts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, currently have a second car to drive while this one is brought up to par.(although it does run and drive fine, stalls when the heat is on at a stop light sometimes)

Your car has a 6ci engine and probably has 4 lug tires? It will be tough finding kits to upgrade 4 lug wheels to disc brakes but i think there are a few options out there. Dont try to go piece by piece, buy the whole kit.

Will that work?

Can't seem to find any disc conversion for a manual transmission. If I were to add power booster would that help? Even if I kept drums?

Found on cjsponyparts in case anyone runs into it. Cost about $1200 for power and disc conversion. I'm going to hold off on power steering...

Look up CSRP. Talk,with Dennis he is very helpful and reasonably priced.

I found that after I already ordered it.... I'm taking it to a mechanic to give it a good look for safety. Anything you would recommend I have them do that would be more complicated for a DIY?

Regarding the stalling, with the heat on, what is your idle speed?

 

[pickneters]

8-900 rpms

Correction, also stalling without the heat. Maybe not letting it warm up all the way, it's a manual choke.
