    Mounting Wheel + Brakes To Table

    So I have a set of wheels that I took off my '66 a while back that I'm going to make end tables out of. Mounting the wheel itself is pretty straightforward, I just throw some bolts through where the studs would go and into the wooden base I've built. BUT, I'd also like to mount it with a brake...

    Wheels-Tires '66 17x8 Rubbing

    It's been some time since I put the new wheels on the car (see past threads) and in that time I haven't been able to drive her much because of significant rubbing on both the front and occasionally rear (over a bump, or with weight in the back, etc). I put 17x8" 4.75 bs (I believe) on both...

    Any value in my old 289 and original C4 automatic?

    So, this is related to my recent thread about transmission trouble with my resto shop. I have the existing 289 and original C4 automatic transmission from my 66 mustang and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. They worth anything? The transmission is in good condition, the engine had a...

    Won't start- (autor) transmission safety switch

    Won't start- (auto) transmission safety switch For a long time I've seen this coming- I have to jiggle the shifter in park a couple times to find a good position in which the car will crank. Now, no amount of rearranging the shifter will allow the starter to turn over. Help?

    Rubbing doesn't really do this justice

    Soooooo, new wheels and tires: 17x8 all around, 4.75" backspacing 235/45/17 front 245/45/17 rear but, I can't turn my wheels, because as you can see, they run into the inner front lip of my fender. I was going to see about rolling that section of the fender but after looking at it...

    Daily driver insurance?

    The car is a few days out from completion and I need to have insurance on it when it rolls off the body shop floor. I'm with Nationwide now but I'll only get as much coverage as an appraisal says it's worth, and I want protection for all the money that has gone into the vehicle, regardless of...

    The wreck and rebuild

    Got in a wreck July 16, 2005, have been in and out of shops and dealing with insurance ever since. Now, finally, the car is within a week or two of being back in my hands and I realized that I hadn't ever posted about it here. So: I was driving on a six-lane road with a small concrete median...

    Help me get my stance right (lots of pics)

    My plans are for 17x8 Smoothie II's, but I want to make sure I get the right look. I like a slightly higher riding car, more muscular looking. I like the wheel/tires to almost exactly match the vertical lines of the car (where fender flare ends, drop down a bit and wheel should be on the same...

    Which first, subframes or engine reinforcement?

    I have to start with one or the other. Should I go with TCP's full subframe connector setup first, or do the engine bay with monte carlo bar, export brace, and maybe a front sway?

    Help me plan my setup

    The car is a '66 mustang coupe, which already has an aftermarket stereo in it that I did a couple years ago. Right now I have: A premiere 500w head unit Two older alpine 6x9s in the package tray Two 6 1/2 pioneers in the kickpanels The front dash speaker that was in there when I got the...

    Securing package tray?

    I've spent years packing soft stuff under my rear package tray to keep it from creating buzzing noises when the 6x9" speakers underneath it play, with relatively good success... problem is, there is no good way to secure it in the front, just that little clippy thing, which I've also had to pad...

    Tweeters in 66 A pillars?

    Does anyone offer the proper fittings (right term?) to accomodate this? I know I've seen gauge pod types of things, but I really have no plan to put any of that on the pillars... just the small little speakers to compliment the larger ones I've got in my kick panels. Don't want to make it too...

    Photos of 65/66 coupes with spoilered trunk lid?

    I'm considering this for my own car, but there just don't seem to be many photos out there of cars with this done to them. I've seen plenty of 67/68 models with this, but I want to see how it looks on my body style. Anyone have photos of this?

    Good car cover?

    Searched for this since I figured it'd been asked before, but apparently not. I'm getting the car back from the shop in a week or two and it'll have to be parked outside... but I want to protect it as well as I can given all the work I'm having done to it, so do any of you know of a really...

    Manual Steering on a Manual Car?

    I'm considering a T5 swap, but my car has manual steering. It isn't any driving effort for me now as I've been using it a while but I generally have to use both hands to make turns just due to the turning ratio of the steering. I'll also have to install a smaller diameter steering wheel if I go...

    '65-style grille for lower gt valance?

    Where can I get this? Billet aluminum versions are available but I prefer the black honeycomb style for my grilles. Can't find anything though at my normal dealers to match the main grille.

    Best source for fiberglass?

    I'm planning to put the gt front apron on my '66, but I've been told that the quality of these can vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer... does anyone have the same part on their car, was it much trouble to install? Who did you buy it from?

    Body work (pretty serious) in Raleigh area

    Got into a wreck in my '66 coupe two months ago and have lost faith in the body shop I was going to have do the work (Foster's Auto Body)... so I need to find a good reputable shop that can handle a car like this. They'll have to do frame straightening and plenty of body work... Here are photos...

    Good source for replacement engines?

    I was in a wreck last month and the 289 in my '66 is in pretty bad shape, so I'm looking to upgrade while I'm repairing the car. Does anyone know of a good place to buy remanufactured/rebuilt 302s and/or 351Ws? Or does anyone have any leads on people with engines they're looking to sell? The...

    A little help diagnosing my cooling problem?

    I've pretty much settled on the decision that it's the radiator but I have an open forum here full of more knowledgeable people so I might as well make use of the resource... The car overheats, big time... here are my observations: -A leak at the thermostat, but the system maintains...
