    Convertible top frames

    I had my frame out at a shop for appraisal, wanted them to replace all the bushings/bearings/springs/cables/yadda-yadda and powder-coat the metal for me. Their estimate was well over what it costs to buy a new frame outright. I was pretty surprised and disappointed. So I found a guy in...

    Remember when the Probe was almost called the Mustang?

    We dodged that bullet back in ~1986, v6-powered front-wheel-drive, they backed off and kept the Fox alive. Looks like the Mustang heritage just dodged another one... https://www.motor1.com/news/263997/ford-mustang-suv-no-mach/

    Weird wiring problem with turn signal indicators (dashboard)

    Many of you know how severely I've modified my car, at least electrically, there's literally no original wiring left, even things like backup lights and turn-signal housings have been replaced. While these new bulbs and housings are OEM style (for example the turn signals in the front valance...

    instructions or checklist for full window install

    I've found a few videos on youtube, but nothing really good, either they are sitting around telling jokes or the video quality is too low or they just skip over things or leave out details etc. I was hoping someone here has a checklist or to-do article for installing everything inside of an...

    Question about alignment

    Obviously the factory specs are easy to find, but most of the folks here have moved well past factory setup and 14 inch polyglass tires. Anyone have a recommendation for a performance oriented alignment spec? If it matters my car has the following... 225/45-17 rubber Lowered 2" in front KYB...

    Are old cores worth anything or should they just be tossed when replaced?

    Have You Ever Taken The Car Apart And Cannot Find Something You Removed?

    I know the answer is yes. I cannot find the little flat steel thingy that connects the trunk lock to the trunk latch. Been using a screw driver forever, now I need that thingy and cannot find it. Anyone have one they wanna sell? Application is a '67, do not think it matters what body but...

    Parking Lights On Aftermarket Valence (1967)

    I am putting my car back together after getting it painted, I have the '67 Shelby replica hood (short version) and the R-model (type) lower front valence. It looks like something has changed since the retainers for the parking light buckets will NOT line up, not even close. The core issue is...

    Can An Aod Be Fitted With An Electronic Control Module?

    I'm getting sick and tired of the TV cable. I can get a TPS (throttle position sensor) for the carb from many places, just need to be able to send commands to transmission is all.

    Tuning The Tv Cable On An Aod

    So the car is: 1967 Mustang convertible C-code replaced by a built 351W (estimating 425hp/425tq) C4 replaced by a 1993 AOD from a 5.0 Mustang that has also been "built" 2,800RPM Stall Holley 750 using the Lokar bracket and TV cable Factory shifter (P-R-N-D-2-1) so I have no "1" on the AOD...

    So I'm doing short little test drives now, working out the bugs and am convinced my TV cable needs adjusting. Background: Built 351W 1993 AOD from a Mustang 2,800 RPM converter from TCI Deep transpan from TCI Auxilliary cooler out in front of radiator. Windsor Fox linkage kit Lokar cable kit...

    Tech Help! Very Rough Idle At Low Rpm...why? - Carb Guys

    Brand new engine with about an hour of total run time on it, it is a mildly bored 351W which should be a 357 now. Bottom line it runs like crap (to the point of dying) below 1,000 RPM, I'd call it rough between 1,200 and 1,500, and only smooths out at 1,600 and above. I know my cam is to blame...

    Rear Axle Brake Lines

    Need a quick sanity check fellas...what size are the brake lines on the rear end of a '67? I don't think it matters but was for factory power disc setup with 8" rear. I think they are 3/16, but need to be sure.

    Water Leak! (please help)

    We've been in a very serous drought here in Central Texas for the last year or more, but this weekend we just got dumped on, like 7+ inches in three days. My Stang was parked in the driveway from around 5:00PM on Friday until about 6:00AM on Monday with it's nose a little higher than the tail...

    Anyone know where this front end comes from?

    Looks like several components, just wondering if it is custom or some sort of kit. Probably would not pass DOT inspection stateside but I like a lot of what he's done. Edit: I posted a link to the image, some ISP issues maybe but it is not always visible, now I'm getting a 403...

    For those of you with oversized wheels

    First off, I cannot believe that I have ~43,000 miles on these tires and they aren't slicks yet. Second off I cannot believe how well the factory (GT) tires performed since they LOOK like they belong on a Windstar or Taurus not a GT. But the time is approaching when I'll need new shoes, I...

    Western Motorsports

    Anyone know much about this outfit? Their website seems to be a little broken and not updated in a long time. My hood received a little hail damage and I'm contemplating getting a FG hood, the ram-air design that WM was always one I liked.
