    ‘94-‘98 axle swap

    So I saw a video on YouTube lately where the guy said that 15x10’s with 6.50 backspace and 275/60-15’s fit his New Edge without fender rolling with just swapping in a ‘94-‘98 rear axle. His car was pretty low and looked great. Anyone else done this? Any advice? Thanks!

    Random noise help

    This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard and I can't find the source. A few weeks ago, my 2001 Bullitt made a noise so loud and so deep I honestly thought it was a fog horn. It lasted a few seconds while I was sitting in the parking lot at the gas station it idle. I don't remember if I had my...

    '02 Headlight Replacement

    I recently started driving my '02 Roush more often and decided it's time to fix some stuff that's been irritating me. First off is the headlights. A past owner put some aftermarket projector lights on it (I assume he cut up the wiring to do it) and besides the fact I hate them, they are hazed...

    What The Hell Happened To This Forum?

    I recently started lurking here again after a few years away and I can't believe the lack of foot traffic. It used to be a huge variety of people that came here to brag, complain, seek wisdom, start an argument, or just BS with fellow vintage Mustang people. Now I return and none of the old...

    Expired 1967 Gt350 Clone For Sale

    Hate to do it but I need to sell my car to help buy a new house. Car is a two-owner car I purchased from the original owner in '01. She was a '93 year old woman who purchased the car on Dec, 31 1968 and it was garaged every single nite until she moved into a retirement home a year before I...

    Clutch Adjustment

    OK, although I know this is about my '68, I know I'm more likely to get the right answer here. I recently drove my '68 for the first time since swapping in a T5 from an '89 GT. It works great and makes the car much more fun to drive. But after less than 20 miles there was a slight noise coming...

    Made my own T5 shift stick

    Thought you guys might enjoy this kinda play-by-play of how I made my own shifter. Anyone who knows me can tell you exactly how cheap I am, and I like to do everything myself. So when I saw the price of a shifter stick hovering over $100 and then there's the chance it might not even be the right...

    T5 Clutch Adjustment/freeplay

    Hoping someone here can help me with my clutch adjustment. I recently swapped an '89 T5 into my fastback with a hydraulic slave-type clutch linkage. All my buddies tell me I need to have some freeplay in the throwout bearing before it contacts the pressure plate diaphragm fingers, but when I...

    Advice on pan gasket

    I just finished replacing the intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets on my '88 GT in an effort to get rid of the leaks. While they don't leak anymore, it seems the oil pan still does, just a little. I assume the rear main does as well, but it's hard to tell. Anyway, does the engine have to come...

    Separating the fuel lines on an '88

    I'm trying to get the intake off of my '88 and can't seem to get the fuel lines off. I bought a tool, supposedly meant for such lines, and just like the manual I have recommended, I'm using the 3/8" tool. It fits into the fitting alright, but no matter how hard I push, pull and cuss, it won't...

    Engne cleaning question

    I've decided to tackle my intake and valve cover problem on my '88 GT, both of which have been leaking oil. But before I pull it in the garage to take it apart, I want to clean it as much as possible. My plan is to use a few cans of good foaming degreaser and hose it off. But I want to know what...

    Best springs for mild drop?

    OK, here's the story: I've been using my '88 GT more and more as a daily driver for both me and the family since the price of gas makes driving my '04 F250 impractical. Besides, I love driving the '88. Anyway, I can no longer stand looking at the Mustangs nose-high stance and really need to drop...

    Rusty's drag car on another forum!

    Muffler only question

    I was under my '88 GT today and found an exhaust leak due to a small split in one of my original mufflers. Anyway, since I need new mufflers, I've been kinda thinking of using my stock exhaust and just swapping on 40 series Flowmasters. But here's my question: I'm really interested in hearing...

    Need Fox wheel advice

    I'm about to take my '88 GT out of 2 years of storage and make it my (once again) daily driver. One thing I've always wanted to change has been the wheels and the stance. I found some wheels I like, but hope someone with some Fox experience can offer some help. The wheels I found are 17x10 rear...

    Buy or Build? Which is wiser?

    I don't post here much any more, but I drop in periodically to see what's up, and some stuff has happened lately that I thought I'd share. About two months back, a freind of mine bought a car. He bought a really nice 1969 Chevelle, 396 SS with a Muncie 4 spd and a 496 cu in BB in place of the...

    What are you saving your car for?

    This a heartbreaking post, but it just proves my point, there are worse things in life than a door ding or rock chip from driving and enjoying your car. These pics are not pretty and you should know that before you look. Of special interest to me was the real '67 GT500 that was crushed...
