Hey guys, haven't been on here in a while but i remember everyone being cool and knowledgeable, so i have a question.
I came into a possession of a 1972 nova and it just needs a paint job and interior, so i am going to do this really quick before i sell it.
what color do you guys think...
hey guys, was just starting to think about my motor build (351 based stroker, all forged afr heads carbureted with nitrous) and was planning on getting all the parts and assembling it myself to save some money but I was starting to wonder if it would even save me any money over buying a...
anyone know an place (or person) in San Diego County that i can rent a portion of a garage to do some welding and grinding for a couple o weeks?
thanks, Matt
hey guys, i have to cut out my floor starting 24" forward of the rear axle centerline to start welding in my 4-link, but the axle has been out for a long time!
any ideas of how to locate this by using reference points and measurements from your cars? it's a '65 coupe.
thanks a lot
matt
my 289 is running really hot after more than five minutes of driving. I replaced the water neck, did a radiator flush, thermostat, and the only thing left to replace is the radiator. It quit on me a few weeks ago from overheating and now i just don't trust it. It will easily get to the max on...
(pay no attention to the two blowers)
hey guys, trying to figure out which diameter wheels to go with for my prostreet 'stang. I came across this mustang with staggered sizes, but not the normal one or two inches larger in back. this car as 17" rims in the front and 15" in the rear!

Hey guys - haven't posted in long while, i've been working on my '56 pickup, but have just started back in on the '65 'stang... just bought a r&c front crossmember and a chassisworks back half kit and need some help planning for future tires.
The problem is that I need 28" tall tires for the...
i'm having a hard time deciding what measurements to give for a custom rear end for my tubbed '65
i want to be able to have a set of drag wheels, maybe 13" width or so, but also be able to bolt on some street tires, maybe with a 10" width and have them both be in the correct position and look...
hey guys,
i just installed a patriot side exhaust on my car (don't worry, not my mustang) and it is sitting far too low. the only way i can see to raise it up is to have the mounts bolted directly to the frame, eliminating the rubber washers....... is there any reason why exhausts are always...

i didn't even know this was possible but i guess it makes sense.....
is this compliant with nhra standards?

does anyone sell the cowl panel itself, not the drain panel patches, the actual part that welds in behind/above the hood? Mine is shot, the sides are all rusted out and i can't seem to find a patch, even at california mustang.
matt
anyone have any experience with the jegster roll cages from jegs.com?
they seem miraculously cheap....will they not fit right?
It is just metal tubing, right?
thanks

can anyone list all the parts one needs to get for an engine when they already have a short block.
I am considering getting a short block already assembled with just the rotating assembly. What else do i need......heads, radiator, intake manifold, etc.?
thanks,
Matt
I'm thinking about 550-600 for my '65 coupe.
Money is not really an option...i'm thinking the entire restoration will cost about $35k for everything including major chassis and suspension modifications.
is this too much power?
will it not be able to get traction?
will it turn the body...
Anyone have any input about the World Products small block ford engine with 460 cubic inches? For those paying attention, that is the size of the largest production ford BIG block.
The crate engine is around 11 grand and the short block is something around $4500 from summit.
Is there a...
