    Steering Setup In A 66 Coupe

    BLUF: Does the steering column have to mount to the firewall or is the dash mount only safe enough (using a single u-joint)? Using a double u-joint, I can get a firewall mount but the set screws don't line up with the steering column or box holes, is that ok? So here's where I'm at now with my...

    Expired Pair Of Procar Rally Seats - Dc Area

    I have two Procar Rally seats that were in my '66 Coupe and are barely used. The driver's seat has maybe 500 mi on it and the passenger seat has been sat in only a handful of times. They come complete with sliders and brackets for my '66 Mustang however, they should fit a wide year range. I have...

    Red Seat Belts, Black Interior

    Just wanted to see what you all thought about this set up: Red three point seat belts and black ProCar Rally seats in my 66. Anyone have any issues with the combination? The car is red and I know manufacturers will do the red with black so I feel like it should be fine. Also, I was going to...

    66 Cowl Vent Repair Questions

    I'm looking to get my 66's cowl repaired and have some questions that I couldn't find here. The cowl is definitely leaking on both sides but I haven't actually seen what it looks like inside. I was wondering if it's better to do the two patch panels or just get a full replacement panel? I saw...

    Md, Dc Shops

    This place has changed quite a bit since I've last been around so I tried to search but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know of any good shops in MD or DC that can work on classic Stangs? I live in Southern MD (I know, I'm sorry, too) and I need to get the cowl fixed on my 66 and want a...

    Shipping A Car Cross Country

    Hey, I'm looking into shipping my 66 from WA to MD and I'm checking out moving companies. I searched the forum to no avail and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations on movers. I'd appreciate any help.

    Water temp sender issues

    I finally removed the water temp sender unit (coolant drain was an adventure in itself, looks like I killed a Ninja Turtle on my garage floor). Now I know why I was getting a slight leak from there: the threads are a different size from the intake manifold. We had a shop do some work on the...

    Door doesn't "pop" out, 66

    We had a new door latch assembly installed on the driver's side door and it doesn't "pop" out when you open it from the inside or outside. I haven't torn the door open yet, but was wondering if you guys have any ideas of what to look at or would cause it. The passenger door works just fine...

    Procar Rally and Belts

    Hey, I'm getting back into the whole Stang thing again (I bought a Harley a year ago that has sidetracked me) and I'll be turning it into a daily driver. The first point of concern is getting new seats and seat belts (to appease my mom, you know how they are). I've always been looking at Scat...

    Fluctuating Oil Pressure (on high side)

    Hey, I've been driving the Stang recently since I'm home for a bit and noticed that the oil pressure hangs around the O in Oil while at idle than climbs to nearly past the L when driving (doesn't matter rpm, just climbs) then drops back down to the O while at a light. I don't really remember it...

    What mods would need to be done to increase high speed stability?

    This is something I've been thinking of lately. What would need to be done to our cars to make them stable at high speeds (100+ mph)? Obviously suspension work, a bump steer kit, but what else? I'm thinking along the lines of autobahn cruising here. I know our cars aren't designed for that...

    How do I remove the gauge lights?

    I need to replace the guage lights in my 66 but I can't figure out how to get them out. There's those green plastic things covering them, but they look pretty solid and I don't want to break anything, yet. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Getting new gears, some questions

    Finally convinced my dad to get new gears for the Stang so I have some basic questions. It's a 66 with 289 4bbl and T-5z. The 2.88 open 8" is still in there. The car is mainly driven on the weekends (everyday when I'm home which is every couple months) and I like spirited driving. For the...

    Some Pics O the Stang

    I got a digital camera for Christmas and what better way to use it than take pics of the Stang? Here's my album that I've created. Some of the pics are blurry because I'm trying to figure things out yet with the camera, but there's some good ones too...

    What's a good site to buy or look at wheels?

    I'm looking to get some new wheels for the Stang and have been searching. I know I could go to specific manufacturer's websites, but I'm wondering if there are any good ones that show all the available wheels for my 66? I'm trying to avoid the standard American Racing or other common wheels...

    Lighter Glass

    Is it possible to buy lighter glass for our cars? The reason is that the stuff we have is pretty thick and I'm sure it weighs a lot. If so, how much weight do you think could be saved overall?

    What would I need to do to get this sound?

    I love the way this car sounds and am wondering what mods would be necessary to get the same sound, if it is at all possible. Watch this video to see what I'm talking about: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=968324305532525154&q=slr I know I'll need a supercharger, obviously but what else?

    Hot rodders tips for squeezing out max power?

    I'm curious, what are some tricks for getting the most out of your engine? I'm talking about things most people wouldn't think of, like knife edging the crank to reduce friction in the oil pan.

    How hard do you drive when you race?

    I'm curious, when you are doing time trials or are racing, how hard do you drive the car? The reason I ask is that I have a knack for breaking vehicles under these conditions, like tonight. I drove our school's formula car and on the fourth or fifth lap the shifter handle broke in half...

    Alignment Shops in MD

    Anyone know of any good alignment shops near Annapolis, MD? I tried asking the Mid Atlantic forum but its dead. I'm lifting my Explorer 2 in so I need to get it realigned afterwards.
