    Need help from an MCA member

    I need to get some contact information from an ad in a recent issue of the Mustang Times. Anybody have a copy handy? I was approached at a show two weeks ago by a local gentleman looking to sell his '78 King Cobra project. I've got my hands full with my own (plus other projects), so I didn't...

    Help with Sikkens paint codes?

    I'm trying to find the Sikkens code for Calypso Coral. Does anyone have access to the ColorMap book to find the correct code? I know the Ford code was 3 in 1969, and 1 in 1970, although I don't know if there is any difference between these. Any help would be appreciated, my car is having the...

    WTB: Driver's side door near Portland, OR

    My paint/body man did his initial inspection today, and informed me that my driver's door is unusable. He pointed out to me that at some point it had been hit and poorly repaired. There is rust along the seams coming through from the inside, and it would take an obscene amount of work to keep...

    WTB: Factory black trim pieces

    My King Cobra will be going in for paint in a few weeks, and when I get it back I need to have some decent trim to replace the bent/twisted/dented pieces on there now. I need the following for both sides: T-top specific A-pillar trim T-top specific upper quarter window trim lower quarter...

    Next issue: Axle shaft removal

    I had more wrenching time yesterday, and hit the latest snag: taking out the axle shafts. The Book says to use a slide hammer or use two set screws. I don't have a slide hammer, so I tried to figure out the set screw method from that one lame illustration. It appears to me that you need to...

    Clutch cable conundrum

    As I enter the home stretch on this car, little things keep giving me fits. Here's the latest: I installed the '93 Cobra T-5 into the car, with a Fox bellhousing. I ordered a new clutch cable from NAPA (years ago), and it looks just like my old one. When I went to install the cable, it...

    Stumpy's subframe connector question

    Last weekend I made an attempt to install my subframe connectors, and hit a snag. I'm hoping someone on here has installed these and can offer some insight. Basically, the front subframe on the II has a short section at the very back that hangs a little lower than the rest, and is rounded...

    A/C question

    I'm agonizingly close to finishing up the full rebuild on my '78, now that the summer is almost over... :( I'm ready to reinstall the heater hoses, and have a question for anyone out there with a fairly original II with factory air conditioning: Is there some kind of vacuum actuated...

    Free parts!

    I cleaned out my garage a while back, and gave away one batch of II parts, but I still have a few things hanging around. Free to a good home, I'll ship them if you pay for it: 4 speed shifter with knob (woodgrain style) driver's side gauge bezel w. brushed aluminum applique (bottom...

    Limited Slip question

    A while back, I bought a used 8" center section for my King Cobra. Now that the engine is done and I'm putting everything back together, I dragged it out to look it over. It has Richmond 3.80 gears, and an Auburn Pro differential. It looks good, but I know very little about them, so I'm...

    Powder Coating recommendations in Portland

    I'm installing the rebuilt 351W in my '78 Mustang, and have a handful of parts I'd like to get powder coated. I found a bunch of listings, just thought I'd ask around for any experiences/recommendations anyone might have. Thanks.

    Dyno tuners in Portland

    So, who in the Portland area has an in-house dyno, and which one? I know that Fast Specialties has a Mustang dyno, and I believe Horsepower Freaks/Torque Freaks has a Dynojet, just curious what other options are out there. I tried doing a search but came up with nothing...

    Who bought my Atlantic Blue '98 Cobra?

    I traded my '98 Cobra in on a GT 500 at Courtesy Ford in Portland, and it finally sold after almost two months. If anyone knows who bought it, I'd love to talk to them, I've got a bunch of stuff I'd like to give the new owner. I loved that car, but the new one is better yet...

    Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, WA

    Is anyone from the II contingent going to be showing at the Roundup? I'm driving up from Portland Saturday morning and spending the night. The King is sadly not back together yet, so I'll be driving the '98. It would be cool to see some II's there, and meet/reacquaint with any of my fellow II...

    Motor Mounts

    I'm nearing completion of my 351W rebuild, and in anticipation I bought a set of rebuilt motor mounts off of eBay. They were advertised as II mounts, but when I compared them to mine, they aren't. They bolt up to the motor just fine, but they are wider where they fit on the frame mounts, and...

    Portland machine shop recommendations?

    I have a 351W block that is ready to be tanked/bored/honed, and I'm looking for a reference for a machine shop that does good work in Portland. I'm in NE, but don't mind a drive if it will minimize headaches. Top priority for me is high quality work, fair price is second priority. Send me...

    Mustang II Marti Reports

    This is a cut and paste from Todd on the Mustang II MA/Yahoo Group: <<Okay, I'm bouncing this idea off of you all 2 years later. Am I in the minority of Mustang II owners that want to be able to order a Kevin Marti Auto report that tells production data including when my car was built...

    White cargo panels

    Wasn't someone on here desperately searching for white fastback cargo panels? There's a decent looking set on eBay right now, item #4629347708 I'm not the seller, just remembered seeing someone looking for them.
