    ’67 Wipers Acting Up, Stop Anywhere On The Windshield

    Well, the title says it all. My wipers were on the fritz for a while and I discovered that the switch had simply come loose. Good news, right? Meeeh!... They work now, but when I turn them off, they stop wherever they happen to be. Any ideas?

    Looking For A Lightweight Car Cover

    Hi all Any of you know where I can source a thin car cover for indoor use only? I haven't been able to find something straightforward and lightweight; something that's made of thin cotton or bed sheet-like material. I didn't think it was much to ask, but all I find is heavy duty stuff I don't...

    67 Fastback trunk trim issue

    Hello, Can someone tell me how to remove/install the trunk lid molding clips? The holes in the trunk outer skin don't go all the way through. I purchased a replacement trim that came with clips; they require a nut to be tightened from the other side... WTF?????

    ’67 Front Valance Mod

    Getting tired of the stock profile of the ’67 Mustang, I decided to give it a new face. After getting rid of the bumper guards things got cleaner. Next step was to cut open the valance, following the general look of a ’67 Shelby. I took the car to a friend's house and we cut away. My buddy...

    My very own horn button - how to

    I have this Grant steering wheel I like on the car. But the stock horn button? Pleeese! Anyway, I got tired of looking at the silver Grant logo and decided to customize it. I painted it white, then painted red and blue stripes. It was cool enough but it needed an extra touch. So I went...

    Racing-type ft valance on a ’67

    Racing-type ft valance on a ’67- Need photos I like the idea of installing a racing-type fiberglass front valance panel on my ’67 F/B; that's the one with the big mouth where you no longer use a front license plate. I have not seen many pictures of this setup. I was wondering if anyone could...

    67/68 FB rear fender extention molding help

    I have bought new fender extension moldings for the FB. It looks like the extension itself needs to be removed in order to access the molding's hardware. I was planning on running a razor blade between the fender/extension interface in order to prevent the paint from chipping and separating...

    I have a solid column that's attached to the steering box. How do you disconnect the column from the box while it's still in the car? This would prevent having to remove the header on that side.

    Stainless trim spiff-up, anyone?

    Hello, I was told that I can strip the dull anodization with oven cleaner, on the various stainless steel trim pieces around the grille and trunk of my ’67. I am thinking of polishing them to a mirror-like shine so they look better. Am I fooling myself or is this something that's been...

    Window cleaning tech tip

    I remember using years ago a professional-grade product I was given by the shop who painted my Camaro to take off paint overspray on glass. I used it for several years with great success to remove stubborn tree sap from the windshield. I ran out of it and since it felt like a paint polish...

I want to toss this Smog pump that's noisy, worn out, useless and an eyesore, but it appears that I could not run a belt directly from...

    Wiper Motor: how do I get to it?

    Sounds like a silly question. How do I get to the wiper motor? :bang: I suspect it is fried and would like to replace it (although I live in California and rarely need it). It's just a matter of principle. Does the entire instrument cluster have to be removed? :mad: RainX rules by the...

    Lowering bucket seats? Need help.

    My previous musclecar of 21 years was a 68 Camaro. I liked how it had a thick belt line and made me feel as I sat very low and protected. I've had my Fastback for 12 years and still am not used to the seating height. Is there a way to lower the stock buckets? I was thinking of removing...
