    Quick question, which really doesn't matter since I have already ordered the part, but.... Has anyone ordered the complete cowl that is both the upper and lower? I basically assumed it was just a package deal with the upper and lower separate, and needing to be welded together before...

    Blasting

    I have been working on a car and we have used mostly chemical strippers and sandpaper to get the old coats of paint off. In the engine bay, we resorted to blasting at home, which was very time consuming. This car is for my younger brother, so I don't mind him doing hard work. I'm getting ready...

    Underhood Paint Questions

    Loss of Steering

    Been forever since I've had a reason to post here, but I just picked up another mustang to tinker with. I'll have to post some pictures later, but it's a 67 coupe with a 289.

So now that I have the car running and the car wont shift, Im wondering if this could be the problem? I've checked the TV cable and...
