    Deluxe Interior - Restomod question

    So, hypothetically, let's say we are talking about a fairly rare vehicle. Let's use a '69 Mach 1 Q-code 428CJ, for example, which has the deluxe interior package. But the owner does not particularly care for the tan wood inserts. In general, how would it be received if the owner stained the...

    69 Donor Car Questions

    I could swear there used to be a post with a compatability/transplant chart on it somewhere, but I can't seem to locate it. In any event, I am looking at a 69 fastback/sportsroof donor car and was curious whether the doors, front fenders, front apron and hood were able to be transplanted from a...

    Alternative Alternators?

    Posted this over on the Classic board as well... Anybody running non-standard alternator locations? For example: Driveshaft driven, water pump driven, fabricated to run off the flexplate, etc. I found this thread on the interweb...interesting ideas...

    Roller Conversion

    While in the process of heating up my combo, I was able to pick up a full lifter/pushrod/rocker and spider kit for a hyd. roller cam. However, my understanding is that the older blocks do not have the spider mounting holes machined into the top of the lifter valley. I've been advised by my...

    Hood Scoop Choices

    I'm looking at options for giving my '69 coupe a little more attitude and am thinking about hood scoops. Final body color will likely be all black. I'll also be installing the front spoiler and the rear molded deck lid spoiler with end caps (the small version, not the tall one!) There are...

    H/C/I Assistance

    I know this is a dead horse, but I find myself in the unfortunate position of needing to do a head gasket repair and possible head swap. So, naturally, I am bench racing every combo in my head, as I don't want to have to upgrade these components again at a later date. Currently, my dilemma...

    Anyone refinish their gauge pointers/needles?

    Posted this question in Sound and Shine and got no response, so I'm asking here. I know a lot of folks have done the white-faced gauges, but has anyone refinished the needles? Mine are getting that funky faded yellowish look instead of the bright orange color they came stock...

    95 GT Gauge Pointers

    Anyone have any experience with refinishing these? The orange flourescence has faded to a funky yellowish color and I'd like to make them look like new again. Maybe a flourescent paint pen?

    FAQ type question - Fox Body Throttle Body Swap

    I read the FAQ doc up top here and noticed that there were directions on how to do a swap to a 87-93 style throttle body...but...I didn't see any reference as to why this swap is beneficial. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Tried the search but did not find anything relevant, and...

    Cam, rear gear and torque converter relationship?

    I've noticed a few threads requesting suggestions on torque converters, and rather than hi-jack those threads with this question, I thought I'd pose it here. What exactly is the relationship between the cam, the rear gear and the torque converter? I am going to assume that the cam helps to...

    New Mirror Poll

    Currently I have a single round rear-view mirror on the drivers side of my '69. This simply will not do! So, I found some nice looking aftermarket mirrors that I am considering... Here's the link: http://visionhotrod.com/mirrors.htm I am kinda partial to the oval ones, the VF2. What do...

    Woohaaa! EFI here I come.

    So, over the weekend I bid on some EFI related stuff on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7911226301&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT The auction included upper and lower intakes, wiring harness, fuel rails and injectors. So, if my memory serves, I...

    Wire Wrap Tape

    I recall seeing a post in the last 4-6 months that someone had found electrical wiring tape that did not leave the sticky adhesive mess that regular electrical tape does when it is removed. I've tried a few different search options but can't seem to track it down. Anyone remember what this...

    White Smoke

    During stop and go traffic the other day I noticed a substantial puff of white smoke from my tailpipes as I accelerated from a dead stop. Now, I have been trying to track down what I thought was an ignition misfire for about two weeks. It starts fine, but definitely is running a little rough...

    New 'celebrity' signature poll

    Currently I have Carroll Shelby and Steve Saleen's signatures on my glovebox door. I have room for one more signature before I clear coat that bad boy! I'm torn on who I should try to get to sign it next, any thoughts?

    Body update changes - opinions?

    Shortly, I will be beginning the long process of body work on my '69 coupe. I will be adding functional side scopps, and a front chin spoiler similar to the one on the Fastforward Fastback. I will also be smoothing out the body quite a bit by debadging it (don't worry, the Mustang name will...

    Questions regarding C4 to AOD swap.

    Alright, for all you '69'ers out there who have completed this swap, I have a few questions. 1) Will the driveshaft need to be shortened? With all this talk about deals on aluminum driveshafts, now might be a good time to get a new one instead of me shortening the old one if that's what I...

    Gear Ratio Recommendations

    I checked the ratio on my 8" and I have 3.00:1 gears. Now, I don't exactly light up the pavement around here...but my car is going more restomod and custom than high performance(if that makes sense). With my C4 it revs about 3300 on the highway, which is terrible on my gas mileage; however, I...

    Transmission Fluid - C4

    I've noticed a few threads lately about shift kits, and I it made me curious about my transmission. For about as long as I have had the car, the car seems to lag for a moment off idle then 'catch' and run just fine. It shifts into gear smoothly as well, yet not as crisply as I understand a...
