    ??? TCP coil over suspension

    I installed a TCP coil over kit in my 65 Fastback about 1.5 years ago. Shortly after the install, the right front shock blew out. I sent in to Varishock and they rebuilt it. I installed the rebuilt shock over last winter and when spring came and I was driving the car again, it had a nasty...

    Rear spring mounting ????

    I installed new rear springs on my 65 and found that there were no insulators at the spring to axle tube mountings or between the shock mount and spring. Should there be??? I would think there should be more than just the thru spring bolt protruding into the shock plate to keep the rear from...

    Boss 302 engine locked

    A friend of mine has a 70 Boss 302 that has been in his barn for about 12 years. Car ran fine when parked. We tried turning the motor over with a breaker bar and socket on the dampner but it won't budge. He put mystery oil in the cylinders and left it for a few days and tried again, no luck. Any...

    Another wheel backspace question

    I just bought a set of Boyds ( yeah, I hate him too :) ) wheels for my 65 fastback. They have a 5.5 backspace. I figure I will need a 3/4 spacer / adaptor. I just read on another thread that iskwezm believes that spacers wider than 3/8 are unsafe. If this is the case , what should I use?? I...

    Another 8" rear question

    Can anyone tell me how the strenth of an 8" rear compares with the rear that came in my 98 Cobra?? The Cobra is supercharged and the rear is holding up fine. The 8" is in my 65 with a mildly warmed over 351. I have a versaille rear for the 65 , but with the wheel offset issues, I don't know if I...

    TCP and Granada spindles. Dare I ???

    Just installed the TCP coil over in my 65. Still have 4 wheel drums. I have a set of Granada spindles / brakes and was thinking of using them until I recover from buying the front end. I've read about some disasters mixing the wrong combinations. Any thoughts on this?? Thanks

    TCP Coil Over Installed

    Installed the coil over kit in my 65. Did a one eyed alignment and drove it home (about 5 miles). Car drives awesome. No more automatic lane changes when hitting bumps!! I don't have a charging system yet , so I can't go to far, but I think I'll be very satisfied.

    Question for "Historic" or ......

    I am considering the same front suspension and brake set up as Historics except I will have big ole bling bling poser rims :).

    T5 conversion advice, please

    I called a Mustang only store and explained that I was doing a T5 conversion on a 65 Mustang. It is a 4 speed car already. The guy told me that all I needed was the adaptor plate for the bell housing and the crossmember. He said the slip yokes were the same and the original trans mount was...
