    Has anyone bought from Mr. Wheel Deal?

    I've read the reviews online and I can say that so far he delivers on his claims, he was prompt, knowledgable and has a very sharp pencil when it comes to competitive pricing. He was several hundred less on my quote than my previously lowest price which was several hundred less than pretty much...

    Need advice on a 65' parking brake issue

    I'm not as familliar with these older models as the 69' and trying to help a buddy out on his car. We are finding all kinds of previous owner decisions that have us scratching our heads. His parking brake never really has worked right and we aren't sure how to fix it or what is even incorrect...

    Anyone know of a correct looking 67-69 dual exhaust tip in 2.5"?????

    Preferably in full stainless but beggars can't be choosers. I upgraded to a 2.5" exhaust like many modified cars have (I went with the full Magnaflow stainless unit) but I still want that stock looking dual 67-69 exhaust tip outback, preferably with a rolled lip and stainless as well. Has anyone...

    Anyone do driveways or had one done recently?

    I have been putting off redoing mine for years, it was poorly done in the late 80's and looks like a roller coaster, it's just really bad. Two homes are having it done now in my neighborhood by the same guy (4th generation paver) and seeing how bad ours is he came by and offered us a deal if we...

    What's a fair price for an unknown condition 351W?

    A buddy of mine has a 69' 351W on an engine stand that he borrowed from me, I want it back and he has no place for the engine so I am thinking of buying it for a future stroker build. The engine came with a 69' rust bucket that he no longer has. For arguments sake we'll assume it is original and...

    Anyone here like to play No Limit Hold 'em?

    Me and some of the boys over at 69Stang are going to start getting together over on AOL's free Poker site. We figure since we are all Stang friends that would likely get together once in a while if we lived closer that it would be fun to play some free funny money poker against each other and I...

    The long awaited update on Pakrat's Stang.

    It's been a long uphill battle since the accident in October of 2004 but at the request of Chepsk8 here is an update on where I am today.

    I just want to give Kudo's to the Mustang Factory!

    I know we have several very reputable suppliers on this forum and I don't want to take away from them at all, but I believe in giving praise where it is deserved and there is always enough pie for everyone. You all know I can be long winded to say the least so I'll spare you the details and...

    Is there a new Cobra Jet?

    Hey 05+ Gang, Has anyone heard of a new Cobra Jet model being offered? My father in law went to a local Ford dealer show last weekend and showed me some pictures of a car claiming that it's a brand new Cobra Jet. I'm saying there really is no such thing and that in all likelyhood this is just...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Dumb luck fell on my lap last weekend and I scored a pair of 85' Fiero seats with the speakers built into the headrests for $70. To me this is ideal for a convertible with loud exhaust as opposed to playing with the volume knob at every red light. I'm now hunting for a shop to reskin them in...

    Looking for ideas to go from ordinary to extrodinary!

    You know those little details that you don't necessarily notice right off the bat but you know something is different, the kind of stuff that makes a show car into a show winner, like those little touches that Foose is notable for. Not your typical lower the car and add big rims and Shelby...

    Need help from 69/70 owners with Shelby rear fiberglass!!!!!

    OK here's the deal, I got in my Shelby deck lid and end caps finally but as I fit them I find severe differences from stock. I could swear that I have seen both coupes and verts with the Shelby duck tail fiberglass added to them while retaining the stock tail panel and lights. Yet these pictures...
