    New rims for Murphy

    I'm getting ready to buy some new rims for Murphy. I've decided on Torq Thrust D's but I can't decide on 14" (what dad's pusing for) or 15". What back spacing would I need? So far, the cheapest place I've found (and a company that I know is reliable) is through Summit Racing. Anyone know...

    Long time, no post

    Wow, it seems like forever since I last posted. Had a lot going on including a new job (factory work, but it pays really well for being as insanely easy as it is - 12hr mid shift kind of sucks, though) and potentially a new guy (sorry leg humpers). I have actually gotten some work done on...

    Installing seats

    This is kind of a moot point since I've already reinstalled my seats after fixing the floor/replacing the carpet, but I'm still curious as to the "official" way to bolt the front seats in (maybe I'm just being dumb and overcomplicating things). The seat rails have threaded studs that poke...

    Repairing cowl from under dash

    I asked this in my other thread, but I think it got overlooked. I'm just finishing up repairing my front floor pans (67 coupe). The reason the driver's side rusted so bad is because my cowl is rusted (big suprise :rolleyes: ). I did a temporary fiberglass patch on it about a year ago and...

    Redoing interior (progress thread)

    Since I have lots of time off from work this week & next week, I figured I'd work on redoing the interior. I'm going to replace all the dash panels, carpet, get all the wiring in the console hooked up (not originally a console car), fix a few minor rust holes in the floor & POR15 it, and start...

    Testing alternator gauge

    Is there a way to test the alternator gauge w/o having it installed in the car? The alternator gauge in my 67 doesn't work and I have 2 other instrument clusters laying around so I figured that there should be at least one working alternator gauge around here somewhere. -Chelle

    Electrical gremlins (turn signal/column wiring)

    I have a feeling I'm not going to get an answer other than "you'll just have to look it over to see if something not right" or "replace the turn signal switch", but I figured I'd ask anyway. History: When I first got Murphy (67 with a Grant wheel & adaptor kit), the turn signal switch had a...

    Dot

    We ended up taking Toonces (our super shy/timid kitty) back to the rescue group because she just wasn't doing well with our other cats (good news is her former foster mom is fostering her again and her other foster right now is a super mellow 15 year old so hopefully they'll get along okay)...

    Harley's alive!

    It's been 4 years (almost to the day) that dad hit the deer and totaled his harley. We bought it back from the insurance company (although not much on it was still usable besides the engine & tranny) and he began the slow process of rebuilding it. He finally got to fire it up and drive it...

    Computer question

    My parents and I both have eMachines with Windows XP (mine is a couple steps up from theirs and about a year older). My computer has been absolutely great. In the past, with the used/patched together computers I've gotten, I've averaged needing a complete reinstall every year or so, but I've had...

    Organ donor

    I'm getting to the point where I need to get rid of Sadie's body (she had terminal cancer :( ). So over the next couple of weeks I'm going to be stripping anything that I can think of that might be salvagable/useful off of her. So if there's anything someone desparately needs, like a hard to...

    Dies when put into gear

    I have had an on-going problem since about the 3rd month that I've owned this car (bought it Nov 2005) and quite frankly, I'm about ready to set the stupid thing on fire or at the very least throw a bunch of rocks at it. It will start up okay and idle okay, but as soon as I put it into gear...

    7 years bad luck

    My dad went to close the driver's side door and the glass from the mirror fell off and broke into about a dozen pieces. The mirrors were just over a year old so I'm a tad pissed (at the situation, not my dad since it wasn't really his fault). I got the mirrors through Mustangs Unlimited, but I...

    Engine replacement & tranny rebuild

    Engine replacement & rust repair I've decided that rather than rebuild old Sadie's 289 to swap into new Sadie (currently has a 302), it would be much better to just get a remanufactured long block (faster, cheaper, and has a 3 year warranty). I'll also be rebuilding new Sadie's tranny...

    B-day present for New Sadie

    New Sadie's b-day is coming up on Nov 1. I know I've been saying I was going to rebuild Old Sadie's 289 and drop into New Sadie, but I've come to the conclusion that a crate engine will actually be a much better route to go. The number one reason is because a crate engine will have a 3 year...

    Removing distributor (can't get it out)

    I'm trying to replace my intake gaskets (oil leak out the front & vacuum leak on the side) and I cannot get the distributor out. I removed the cap & rotor and the little locking plate at the bottom. According to my shop manual, it should just pull right out but I can only pull it up about...

    Kitty #5

    We just knew we wouldn't be able to settle with only having 4 cats for very long. We'd been checking out several shelters looking for the perfect little kitty for a couple months now, but none of them were just right. My brother was visiting this past week and on Thrusday we decided to go up...

    B2 (pic heavy)

    Thought you aircraft/military buffs might enjoy these: And just for you guys: Also, just for the record, please do not re-post these anywhere. I had permission to take them and post them and I'm sure there's plenty of other pics of the B2 out there, but these are mine and...

    Headlight/relay upgrade (w/o splicing into original harness)

    I'm not really ready to completely re-wire my mustang, but I'm tired of not being able to see at night. Sadie's high beams are just a tiny bit brighter than mom's Cherokee's low beams. And apparently, I've been driving around for a couple of weeks with my high beams on (tach blocks the...

    Got a few little things done

    Had some really nice weather today so I spent most of the day out working on Sadie. Actually, about a month ago, I installed a small tach. I do eventually plan on cutting down the mounting bracket a little because it's blocking my high beam indicator and I want to figure out how to make its...
