    Quarter Vent Help Please

    :flag: I bought my '67 fastback as a shell (no engine, drive train, suspension, interior) so I have been buying a lot of assorted pieces from eBay and the Mustang catalogs. I had it running yesterday so I'm making progress. Problem: I bought a couple of used quarter ("sail") vent assemblies...

    Shelby Grille on '67

    :flag: I've always liked the GT350 effect of a plain (black) grille with a tri-bar pony on the driver's side. Since my '67 fastback has a 351W, I would want the "351" version. Questions: - Is the pony just a fender badge? How would I fasten it? - Anybody know where I can find a plain...

    I Hope I'm Not The Dumbest Klutz in the U.S.

    :flag: My '67 Fastback is back from the paint shop and is starting to look like a car. The engine is in (351W, Trick Flow heads, Heddman "hedders" and Delta 40 Magnaflows). Now for the dumb part: I bought a 5 gallon plastic jug and filled it with Premium. The jug came with a plastic filler...

    Looking for NW Mustang club

    :flag: I live in Anacortes and am roughly halfway through a restoration on a '67 FB with 351W, T-5. I plan for it to be driven. I'm looking for a club that goes places rather than toothbrush-and-Q-tip showing. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks, Hipobuzz

    67 FB Fuel Tank

    :flag: I got my '67 FB as a shell so there are a lot of mysteries in restoring it. I have just installed a new fuel tank and need some help. The side and rear edges fit fine and the screws line up. The forward edge (closest to the engine) does not meet the trunk floor by about 3/4ths inch...

    67 Fuse

    :flag: I am looking for the little (5/8th in) fuse in the middle of the fuse block on my '67. It says: "2.5 A, Inst Lts." I suppose that I should just upgrade it to a modern blade type but that's down on my project list. Anybody know a source? Also, who knows where the water goes that comes...

    Off the Wall, Version 2.0

    :flag: Thanks for the responses to Off-the-Wall 1.0. I really appreciate it. Next: (a) My rear valance ('67 FB) is sprung at the bottom. There is 3/4 in. space between valance and lower rear fender. There appears to be a threaded shaft inside of each side but I don't see what it fastens...

    Off The Wall

    :flag: A couple of off-the-wall questions: My '67 FB is starting to look a little like a car. The engine-bay crossmember went away when I installed my Randall's Rack (and Pinion). Now what do I attatch my winch to when I put the car in (and out) of my trailer? I have seen "Transport Hooks"...

    67 Steering Shaft Bearing

    :flag: I am midway in a '67 fastback restoration. So far have installed 351W, T-5z and a Randall's Rack rack and pinion. The steering shaft is a long (non-rag joint) item and I want to keep the original column (for esthetic reasons). Problem: The upper shaft bearing is missing and I don't...

    Electric Fan Thermostat

    :flag: Have just installed an aluminum radiator in my '67 Mustang fastback, 351W, Edelbrock Performer intake. I am planning to put in a 16" electric fan with a thermostat control. My questions: (1) It seems that the thermostat sensor has only one contact. That suggests that the circuit is...

    351W / '67 FB, radiator

    :flag: I have my 351W in my '67 FB. It was a close fit, helped by Ron Morris adjustable motor mounts. Now I need some advice on a radiator. The engine has a lower/driver's side H2O pump intake and an upper/passenger side outflow. The stock '67 radiator (289) has upper and lower on the pass...

    Variable Exhaust Note

    :flag: I don't think I have seen this discussed before. I read a while ago on the net about a muffler that had a bypass valve inside (electrical switch) that went from muffled to straight through. Anybody ever had one or knows anything? I want a "Bullitt" sound for fun but a quiet note...

    Drop-base air cleaner

    :flag: My '67 FB is coming along. The 351W is in. The Heddman "Hedders" are mounted and don't seem to hit anything. I have an Edelbrock Performer (not air-gap) intake and Edelbrock 1405 carb (600 cfm, manual choke). I bought one of the Edelbrock "Triangle" air cleaners and it looked very...

    Help me choose a 351 Windsor

    :flag: I'm up to my ears in a '67 fastback restoration. I want it to look stock (Bullitt Highland Green) but have more modern performance. I have done coilovers, heavy antiroll bars, 4-wheel discs and Torq-Thrusts, subframe connectors. I have just installed a clutch pedal and Modern...

    Clutch and brake pedals unequal

    :flag: I am converting a '67 auto to a T-5. The brake pedal I bought from Modern Driveline is 2.5 in. longer than the clutch pedal I bought from Chocostang. I plan to call both tomorrow but maybe somebody knows the answer to the mystery. The brake pedal is 16 in. from the center of the shaft...

    351W Headers

    :flag: I am restoring a '67 fastback: 351W, T-5, coilovers, discs. I am at the stage of converting from auto brake pedal to manual brake/clutch pedals. I have the pedal support out (my hands may someday heal). Pedals and Modern Driveline clutch cable are on the way. My question is: what...

    Automatic to Manual conversio0n

    :flag: I am restoring a '67 mustang fastback which I bought as a shell. My plan is: 351 Windsor, T-5, discs, but original appearance. The car was a 289 with auto. I am at the stage of redoing the interior. I need to install a clutch system with a cable connection. Do I need to replace the...

    '67 Steering Box

    :flag: I am restoring a '67 fastback that I bought as a shell. Since I can't drive it, what is an acceptable amount of play in the steering box? Unfortunately, I have an early (long shaft) set up. It would be fairly easy to replace (or rebuild) the box now without the engine. It seems that...

    Mustang Unibody Diagram/Photo

    :shrug: I am considering ( :shock: ) an extensive restoration, including replacing frame rails, floors, plus removal of shock towers and installation of an aftermarket front suspension (R&C, Heidt ?). Aside from advice on how crazy it is, I would like some suggestions: (1) Where can I find a...
