    How do these door panels come off?

    They are actually really easy to take off. I just did it for a Hydrocarbon interior upgrade. Search for JLT Performance web site and look at the hydracarbon install videos. Basically there are several small screws hidden under little tabs along the sides of the doors and at the bottom. I...

    So should Ford get rid of the Shelby Stangs and bring back the Cobra?

    I can see where the OP is coming from and I have to agree. IF...the GT 500 was actually built by Shelby the way he built the original GT 350 I would say no, keep the Shelby name on the thing...but it's not. My 09 ROUSH 429R was built much like the way Shelby built the original cars. ROUSH...

    instrument lighting upgrade

    I've been looking at getting LED lights as well and have noticed in the Mustangs Unlimited catalog they offer two types; one that is 2 x brighter and cannot be adjusted and another that is 5x brighter and works with the rheostat which should mean that you can adjust the brightness. There is...

    Metal Rattling Sound

    I've got a ROUSH with the ROUSH exhaust and have been noticing a rattle that sounded like it was coming from the drivers rear. As others have noted, I found that the hanger rod was shifting towards the rear and would rattle against the body from time to time. I suspected that was the cause but...

    improving handling

    Sounds like you have a good plan. I have a ROUSH Stage 3 and I really love the handling and the lowered stance. I have had no issues with bottoming out since it is only about 1 - 1 1/2" lower than stock, although I do keep my nose off of curbs when I park. You'll really love the way your car...

    In general, how do stock '65s handle twisties

    Welcome to the club...classic Mustangs are a blast to drive, easy to work on and always get lots of attention. Everyone was spot on in their advice and as long at the car is in the condition the seller described it should drive just fine. I addition to checking the brakes I would also look...

    carbon fiber interior

    I used to not like the carbon fiber look but when I saw it in the ROUSH I was looking at I changed my mind. The carbon fiber panels cost me over 41k but the ROUSH was thrown in for free:D

    MM & FM returning to classic mustang format

    I just received the Dec issue of MM & FM and they had an editorial explaining that they were going back to the classic Mustang format. I was very pleased to read that because I have not been happy with the new format. I can't wait to see the Jan 10 issue.

    ROUSH on the SPEED channel last night

    That's why ROUSH limits the power on stock blocks to 435HP but for the 540HP TVS charged cars they completely rebuild the bottom end with forged internals so that it can handle that much power. My ROUSH 429R has 435HP, and the tune really makes the most out of the power available at just about...

    Ron Morris adjustable motor mounts

    +1 to what 66Runt wrote. If I were in your shoes I would definately get them. With stock mounts most people find they have to trim the tunnel opening to make room for the shifter when they do a T5 swap. The adjustable mounts may make it so you will not have to. Also, Virginia Classic Mustang...

    Ron Morris adjustable motor mounts

    I have the mounts that adjust forward/backward/side to side. I like them a lot. I got them because the repro mounts I bought were not quite right and I could not align my engine/trans properly. The Ron Morris mounts made it very easy to shift things to fit perfectly. I had my engine balanced...

    2010 Rear End Poll

    Iv'e seen it in person on many cars and just can't get over it. I hate it. I was pondering buying a 09 429R Roush or an 10 427R Roush. They were side by side in the show room and that made my decision easier...I bought the 09! The reasons I do not like the rear end are: 1. The angled...

    Body replacement

    Now you've got me thinking, maybe I should wait until they come out with the convertible body and then transfer my coupe parts onto it...hmmm...decisions, decisions!

    Body replacement

    Actually Dynacorn says they are working on the 65-66 fastback Body shell next with a convertible to follow. You can already see the fastback parts (most notibly the roof) being sold by Mustang parts vendors. I contacted Dynacorn and asked about the Fastback body shell because I am very...

    roller rockers

    Comp Cams makes a Magnum Pro roller tipped rocker part#( 1431 and 1442). One of them is a rail type rocker for use on long stem valves without guide plates. I have the early heads with integrated guide castings so I used the non-rail version. They look exactly like stock rockers except they...

    Since Custom Audio Sound = Crap, what about Retrosound?

    Me too; I have the USA 66 retro AM/FM in my 66 and I really like it. It is built a lot better then the other CAS stuff; the body is all metal and it sounds good enough to me with my 6x9 pioneers in the package shelf and the 2 cone dash speakers. Before this I bought the USA 6 and it was a...

    289ci rebuild vs. crate motor... opinions please

    I bought a rebuilt 289 from PAW. They do all of the machine work and send it to you for you to assemble. I went this route because my old engine had been rebuilt before and it was too far gone for another, and PAW has a good reputation their kit allowed me to mock up the motor and check all of...

    repro bumpers

    I have a set of nordan bumpers on my 66 and I am happy with them. The finish is smooth, except for the edges but they are not noticable unless you run your fingers over them. The thing to remember is that these cars were never perfect to begin with. They were mass produced (1 million Mustangs...
