one more with the wheels. only a thousand more things to fix.

Another 5-slot wheel fan here. Good luck on your project!

update: well, it isn't perfect but it has paint. the body was surprisingly solid considering it has been in about a dozen traffic accidents. no rust around the windows and the fenders only had a few pin holes. the color turned out darker (oranger?) than i wanted, but in general, i'm happy...

Relax folks, it’s just a beat-up low option coupe; they only made a million of them. it’s a mustang for piss sake! you people sound like a bunch of elitist –I could get that BS with corvette owners. It’s not going to be a car show garage queen. I just want to beat the piss out of a cheap old car...

I understand where you coming from, but I’m trying not to invest more than the replacement value of my low option 1966 I6 coupe. I was in the situation of investment > market value on my last old car (1973 L48 corvette) and it sucked. I also have other hobbies and financial priorities. Plus I...

i'm getting a nice little chunk back this year and my wife is letting me keep it all. with the exception of a new pistol (sig elite stainless or a commander style 1911 and who knows? maybe an AR), i am going to spend it on my mustang. here is what i need : 1) paint- i'm thinking a dull...

also saw it on speed. i sold my beast (a '70 formula clone) when my kids were little in favor of a vintage vette. now the vette is gone and i'm building a new beast for keeps this time.

Good deal if it’s true. That is significantly less than what I paid for my “J” code coupe.

sorry to hear about your problems, judging from the handicap plates i'd say it's serious. love your '66, but to be honest, i'm not sure i could ever be a fan of your new car. hope everything works out.

well, in a nutshell, it just makes a film that causes water to bead up and when applied to the outside of the windshield, it should just roll off at speed. for a few weeks it eliminates streaks and smudges and after that, it starts to cause them. re-apply every month. my gut feeling is that...

Lots of people buy basket cases, cars in boxes, or projects that turn into a car in boxes and it makes them quickly lose interest –especially if they do not have automotive repair resources. I say pick a running car with less regard to aesthetics and more to function. Get lots of seat time in...

my worthless opinion on a street car is to stick with a roller cam (due to my own bad luck in recent years with flat-tappets). Having said that it seems like a roller cam conversion is fairly simple and cheap, so I agree with keeping what you have for convenience sake. Some other advantages to a...

my other car is a GTO and it has a trunk the size of a mailbox, so the mustang hauls the corpses.

chloroform, trashbags, shovel, and duct tape

i have yet to install the rims i want on my car (torque-thrusts), but when i do buy them, it will be from summitracing. i have had lots of good luck in the past with rims on other cars and i have bought all my tires for the last 6 or 7 years via their website. I go through a lot of tires.

nope, just a genuine old school mechanic who built everything from flatheads to dirt track engines to diesels. He never let blind brand loyalty get in the way of seeing the limitations of a production engine designed +45 years ago. This is actually the first time I have ever heard anyone get...

I’m not sure you would need equal power to keep up with a newer mustang because they are pretty heavy. Bolt-on 5.0 LX fox mustangs from the late 80’s would probably keep up with no trouble. One of my good friends (who unfortunately passed away this year) was very experienced at building race...

my car was converted +15 years ago and i bought more or less a running car. less because it had the wrong flywheel, bald tires, and a siezed caliper, but the price was right. it came with front power disks and is 5 lug on all corners and i have since installed shelby type springs up front. any...

I have an ’86 mustang engine in my car with those heads and a carburetor-headers-duraspark and am relatively pleased with the performance. The car only has a 3.0/1 peg-leg rear axle and will easily pull a greased string from a cat’s ass. Results are not so good with a dry string.

In general, i'm not in love with a black paintjob, but your car is beautiful. Modern stuff and the vintage gt350 stuff blends seamlessly.
