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...

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...

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...

I need a set of 1968 Fastback trunk lid or deck lid hinges. Been looking thru Ebay but so far, all I see are other years. Not looking for 1967 hinges as the spring and mech linkage is different. Please state price, preferred methond of payment and availability. thanks, LM

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...

I'm looking for a vendor to thermal coat my headers in the south Bay Area,CA. (San Jose or nearby). Any recomendations? Also looking for a good engine rebuild vendor as well. Like to upgrade my 5.0L conversion in my 68 FB with all the latest goodies as well. Any recomendations?

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...

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?

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...

Did search on this forum and couldn't find the curb weight for a 67/68 Fastback with a 289. Anyone have the curb weight? What's the difference in weight from a 289 to a 351? thanks.
