    Long time, no post

    No sir, it's a steel hood with a fiberglass scoop bonded on. I used a product called DynaWeld from Welcome To Autobodystore.com. worked great!

    Wow, I guess most of the old timers have moved on. I kind of expected some familiar faces in here. :shrug:

    Long time, no post

    Sorry I don't have a magic answer for you on that brake hose question, but it's been about a decade since I installed them. If I had to come up with an answer, it'd be that I just got Granada front brake lines. :shrug:

    I think this would be cool.

    Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.

    Howdy all! I know it's been forever and a day since I posted, but it's been a long time coming, so I thought y'all would like an update. It runs! It drives! Finally! For those that don't remember, or have joined in the last oh... 4 or 5 years, hahah, here's the stats: '66 fastback...

    Here's what I've been up to (66 fb, work in progress)

    Howdy Bob! I don't have any current pics right now, but right now it's mostly just a cab in primer. Gonna be black with the true fire flames, EFI 5.0, T-5, lowered but still has the straight axle, over 150 holes welded smooth. Gonna be pimpy when it's done. I'll make a point to stop by when...

    Here's what I've been up to (66 fb, work in progress)

    Howdy Jason! And howdy to a lot of my other old buddies too! Just wanted to pop in and tell you that the car is lookin' good homie. Glad you're getting to do it right. Quick update on me for the curious: 66 is still here and darn near done, but I ran out of time and money for it. In...

    Help me with this bolt situation (picts)

    Ewww. I'd be tempted to drill it out as best and square as you can and weld (good, solid weld) another stud in there. And this time make it strong, and in exactly the right place.

    65: Power steering, Granada brakes, Shelby drop, and bumpsteer- HOW?

    I'm curious about this one too. Surely there are enough P/S cars with Granadas that somebody has worked out this mess. :shrug:

    Long time in the making...our mach1 will be done soon

    Yup, It's hard to find time for classic Mustangs these days while building a 56 F100. I'll be more active when I get rid of this old truck and get the wiring sorted out on the fastback. :)

    It looks even better in person. :nice:

    05 GT Wheels on a 66?

    Yeah, the difference is pretty huge. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing anything but cruising a show field with that kind of adapter on there. :shrug:

    Distributor gear swap for the new 5.0

    Thanks! Correct! Except I'm not so concerned with stock appearance, but I'm majorly concerned with saving a couple-several hundred dollars. :D

    05 GT Wheels on a 66?

    Hopefully this will help: 05 wheels, 44mm offset SN95 wheels, 24mm offset

    Distributor gear swap for the new 5.0

    Anybody know the shaft diameter of the old single point? I'm trying to select the correct part so I can have a steel gear for the roller cam. http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?Ntt=ford+distributor+gear&Ntk=KeywordSearch&DDS=1&searchinresults=false&N=0&target=egnsearch.asp Thanks...

    Ran COBRASK8 at Watkins Glen - pics!

    Very cool! Probably pretty hard to miss the 'ol 69 vert on a day like that, huh? ;)

    Salesman is ticking me off

    Eric, aside from some piss poor customer service, if I were you I'd be focusing on the size and ranking of this dealership. Bottom line is, the more cars they sell, the more allocation they get on low volume cars, and the more likely you are to get your GT500. That single reason is why I got my...

    Are T-tops a future option?

    Weak. :rolleyes: You still can't own up to the fact that you started waving your johnson around talking CID in a thread about roof options. Done with you man.

    Are T-tops a future option?

    LOL, there's always somebody faster. Hell, I have a buddy with a mid-80s Mustang coupe, and it's faster than hell, mostly because it has an LS1 in it. :D I don't care if I'm in the fastest thing in the world, I like the whole package. Now tell me again what displacement has to do with roof...
