    Advise please on LED Taillights

    I always wanted sequential flashers but they're illegal in Calif. I did like the Shelby rear light panels though and I liked the way LED brake lights on newer Caddies. I bought about $200 (6 ovals) in oval LED brake lights found on tractor trailer rigs, wired them together and they look great...

    Battery relocation using Optima battery

    What about outgassing during charging? Or heat from the sun causing the battery to produce any fumes that my passengers in the rear might smell or make them ill? thanks again.

    Battery relocation using Optima battery

    I relocated my old lead acid battery to the trunk a few years ago using an aluminum battery box. If I use an Optima battery and their exposed holder do I still need a battery box to contain any fluids? They state them as "non-spillable". Are there any batteries I could use to eliminate the box...

    I couldn't figure out how to get a message to the author but I did send a message to the editor. I'm sure we'll get thru to Mr. Kelsey one way of the other.

    Wrecked hopes / Fond Memories

    Found this article in Sunday's SJ Mercury News. Those of you in N Cal, you may have heard about this gentleman's unfortunate prized Mustang. I hope this doesn't happen to me. I wish him the best in getting up and running again. Couldn't paste the URL 'cause of some quirk with the paper's web...

    Fuseblock Recomendations and fuse values

    I just discovered I have a short in the wiring near my battery probably caused by corrosion from the battery acid. Found it when the remaining insulation went up in smoke. Fortunately the damage seems to be limited to the area nearest the battery. Since this is the original wiring in my 67 coupe...

    Modify disc hubs for Cobra Wheels

    Thanks for all the input. It looks like bolt on adapter plates will work. A couple more questions: 1) It appears most, if not all, are made out of aluminum. Is this a problem? Should I specify steel? If aluminum is OK, then what grade? 2) Are all Cobra wheels from 1999-2004 the same...

    Modify disc hubs for Cobra Wheels

    I've read a lot of posts dealing with using late model Cobra wheels (with the wrong offset) that I'd like to use on my 68 and those that seem to know what they are talking about don't recommend using spacers due the possibilities of shearing the bolts. As I like the look and don't want to risk...

    I tried a quick search but couldn't find any threads for anyone who has installed a 1999(?) - 2004 Cobra IRS into a 67/68 Mustang. I know its possible because I've seen a couple in some of my hot rod mags. Has anyone got a thread or link? Or pics? Or know of a company who does this hybrid? Much...

    Glass hood and 5.0L swap

    After I put in a 5.0L swap motor I also added a Shelby clone 'glass hood. I'm getting ready to paint the car and I can see the heat rising thru the hood. Is this likely to damage my paint? I've tried ugly looking hood insulation but is there a better looking way of keeping the heat from the...

    Light decklid / strong springs

    I have a 'glass decklid on my 68 fastback and when I release the latch with a remote release the lid snaps up too quick. Has anyone come up with a way of slowing up the travel or cushioning the bounce?

    1968 Turn Signals w/LEDs

    I just finished my install of my Shelby fiberglass valance, lense and grill with 12 1" X 6" Oval shaped (6 per side) LEDs. Looks fantastic! Brakes, driving lights, and emergency lights (LEDs) work but when I try to turn on the turn signals with the ignition in the "start" side the flasher relay...

    Export brace options...

    My thanks as well for showing us so many options. I like the TCP setup as well because if looks like it provides the best structural support but allows flexibility in the mounting psotion for the monte carlo bar. I also have a couple of issues I have to deal with as my 68 Fastback has a 5.0L...
