    Paint and Body Back At It - How To Hang Doors??

    Okay - bit of looong vacation and can't believe how old my threads are! Dug the Cobra 2 out of storage at Pop's acreage and now starting the build after way too many years. At least I learned a ton finishing and r-doing the inline 6 on my '65 Stang and we did a whole build including welding...

    Kid Says Don't Sell The Cobra 2

    So put the Cobra 2 project car on kijiji up for sale and got waaaaay too many inquires. Thought I wouldn't get to it for awhile - so thought maybe time to move on as much as that pains me - its stored at my Dad's acreage an hour and half away so hard to work on (time and money). Still have to...

    Snow is back!

    Snow has come back - how the crap can you work on the Cobra 2 with no heat? Have to sit in the hottub Sunday and watch the Flames Heritage Classic with a brew or two. :canada: Been looking for parts again around here (Alberta) - amazing on how many Mustang 2's show up when you look hard...

    Finally got the '76 Mustang Cobra II I was after:D Own a '65 coupe still but found an abandoned project - complete but all in pieces. The best thing... no rust at all!

    4 lug disc brakes?

    Hi All, Want to do a disk brake conversion to my '65 - 6 cyl mustang and think budget wise the Granada one would be best. Is there any rotors that would work with this swap so I could keep my 4 lug aftermarket wheels?? I know there are kits out there but budget is important right now...

    Blue Hoses and plug wires for an I6??

    Maybe a stupid question - but until I get enough parts catalogs mailed in - where do you find the blue rad hoses (or kits) and blue ford racing wires for a '65 I6 engine?? The only ones I see are for V-8's. :shrug: Maybe they don't exist. I have to replace a few things pretty quick (plus...

    Door Panel Vapour Barrier???

    Does this really need to go in?? :shrug: I've seen it in magazines and I have my door panel off to fix the window ('65 coupe) and it is obviously not in there. What does it do and should you have it??

    Fox Mustang 3 Spoke Wheels on a '65??

    I kinda like the look of the 3 spoke mustang wheels found on the newer Fox-bodied cars. They are four bolt wheels (good) - and I was hoping they could be found for a good price used. A quick internet search brought up a forum for LTD's :rlaugh: and the only drawback they had when customizng...

    Can you put a monte carlo in a '65 with an Inline 6?? I see lots of pictures and ads for the monte carlo bar but none show the I6. Just wondering if the air cleaner ect. will be to far forward for this to work.

    Going to change the head gasket this weekend and want to make sure I have diagnosed it correctly (have owned '65 with 6cyl for 5 weeks now). Bought the car with lower compression on the back two cylinders, was pretty sure it was a head gasket as the rest of the cylinders have great...
