    65 custom console any ideas?

    I'm looking for a center console for my 65 coupe. I've searched previous posts but couldn't find any finished examples. I wanted something like the humphugger console but full length running right up to the dash. I'm planning on putting in electric windows and wanted to mount the switches on...

    JME 69 mustang gauge cluster

    I swapped out the boring stock cluster on my 65 and made my own 6-gauge cluster using an aftermarket bezel and autometer cobalt gauges. very pricey, around a thousand bucks including the pillar gauges, but they look awesome and they're all electrical which makes calibration a breeze. I get...

    Sound deadener for 65 Mustang

    There are a lot of qood quality sound deandeners out there to choose from. If you stay away from the brand names like dynamat you can get a pretty good deal. I used two layers of .50 mil that i found on ebay. i got two rolls of 100sq ft for around 100 bucks each. it was just enough to do two...

    Engine quits without warning???

    Any thoughts on this? I have 65 with a 302 in it with an A/T. It's running great. Starts up right away, idles nice and smooth around 600rpm and cruises around town with no problems and even runs cool in 100 degree summer weather around 190 - 210. But then without any warning, i'll be sitting...

    dash lighting upgrade?

    Try these. I used them on my 65 gauges and they worked pretty good. They're LED replacement bulbs, much brighter than stock. Until i decided to upgrade to aftermarket gauges, that is...

    AOD for a 65 Help! I need a 4th gear!

    Well from my original question, it doesn't sound like there's an easy bolt on solution. With that said, does anybody know a shop in the L.A. area that can swap out my 3spd auto for a 4spd auto? Any ideas on cost?

    Aftermarket gauge cluster

    Maxamil, the guy on ebay selling them for $80 out of AZ is the one i got mine from. I talked to him directly because this piece was on back order every where else. He was great to deal with. He overnighted me the piece to L.A. so i could put my gauges in on a friday night in time to cruise...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster

    I know what you mean. I really wanted the black one with the chrome around the edge to match my glove box. However, the only place that i saw selling those were going for $450 just for the bezel, no gauges!! So i opted for the all black one. Its hard to see in the picture but it has a...

    Does the dash come out?? + paint Q?'s

    i used a paint stripper wheel to get the paint off the doors and dash of my car. It's the kind that attaches to a regular drill you can find at any hardware store. It's not wire brush type wheel, the teeth are actually about 5 inches long and the size of wire coat hangers. I used a coarse...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster

    I made my own. I used autometer cobalt gauges which cost big $$$ but it was the look i was going for. All the gauges are electrical rather than mechanical. Very easy to install and wire up. The cost: Black 6-gauge bezel... $70 8 autometer cobalt gauges (including A-pillar)... $1100...
