    Radiator Support were there two different types AC vs non?

    This may be one of those cases where I over think something. I have a factory air conditioned 1968 289 with a C4 transmission. I need a radiator for it, (one did not come with the car). I don't have all the AC components for it, so I want to delete AC all together. I measured the radiator...

    Universal Wheels / Rims - Love 'em or Leave 'em?

    So while looking for some 5 lug wheels / rims (what ever you wanna call 'em) for my 68 coupe on Craigslist I came across some that were "universal".

    I once sanded 4 layers off of a white door till it was white!

    Ok, so I am getting ready to prime my Mustang and I wanted to scuff up the paint right? Well the current layer of white looked like it was applied with a roller, so I said why not at least take this one layer off completely... what follows is a bit comical. Removing the white paint and it's...

    My 68 coupe had a vinyl roof. One of the previous owners ripped off the vynil to allow it to breath and minimize the water damage. The vehicle sat outside in northern California but the roof still rusted. I would like to share my attempts with you on how to remove the rust yourself. My...
