    This weekend I got knee deep in the beginning of my full blown interior restoration in my '65 coupe. I have it mainly stripped, I took out a carpet and SURPRISE!!! my floorpans are in great shape. I bought the car with the knowledge that the cowl leaked, so I was astonished to only find surface...

    Power steering pump hoses

    I know this is going to sound stupid, but I can't figure out how to get the pressure hose off my power steering pump. I removed the smaller hose because it was held on with just a clamp, but this hose looks like it connects to this metal cylinder, which then turns into a metal hose, which looks...

    Tach Installation Tutorial

    I recently installed an Autometer tachometer in my car, thanks to the help of 66Runt and 19Stang66. I am a complete newb to electrical wiring, so if someone like me could put this together than I am sure anyone could. 66Runt recommended I make a thread with some of the pics I took because...

    Should I be worried? 65 hood

    I am very close in closing a deal for this '65 coupe for about 7K. I recently showed this pic to a friend of mine who is a classic car nut and he told me I should look into something. As you can see, the hood is lifted higher in the back than where it closes in the front. He suggested that this...

    This being my first thread here, I thought I'd introduce myself. 17 year old living in the greater Seattle area (go Seahawks!) and have become more and more obsessed with Mustangs recently. I'm looking to buy one, fix it up a little, and pass it off as a sort of 'senior project' for school. With...
