Here's a question for those of you with experience in brake systems. This is for a 2002 Mustang GT. I recently had to change the passenger ball joint on the Mustang (it had started to make some noise, torn boot), and noticed that the passenger brake pads were worn past the wear indicators. I...

Hello all, I've been busy lately repairing the driver's side quarter panel on my 1969 Mach1. I have found very little on 69-70 quarter repair in searches, so I thought I'd share my progress with anyone interested, but I'm really posting because I have a question I'm hoping some of the...

I'm in the middle of replacing all of the front inner fender aprons and shock towers, seems like this would be easier than all of the plug welds and grinding that would have to be done. I've got the cowl and the trunk floor to do as well, so it seems like I would get some use out of one of...

Short version: When did the deck height of 351w change from 9.48 to 9.503"??? Long version: I finally scraped enough gunk off of the side of the block to see the casting number on my 351w. It reads D2AE-6015-BA13 and 3K26. So if I'm decoding this correctly its a 72 casting produced on Nov 26...

The oem brake distribution block on our 87' LX is leaking on the very front of the block. Can this be repaired? I can't seem to find a replacement part. This car is almost completely stock and I'd like to keep it that way. If it can't be repaired, where can I get a replacement part? I...

I just purchased a 1972 Challenger for the wife: <a href="http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n189/FordP51/1972%20Challenger/?action=view&current=IMG_1966.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n189/FordP51/1972%20Challenger/IMG_1966.jpg" border="0" alt="1972...

Hello all, I suddenly have a bug to replace the stock spoiler on my 02' vert. I'm leaning towards the S281 1 piece wing, but was hoping to see some pics of verts with spoilers/wings. I've seen a couple Roush spoilers that might look good, but haven't seen them on verts. Anyone help me out?

Another door question, this one kindof silly. I'm re-skinning a door and I'm wondering what color I should paint the inside of the shell and the inside of the skin. I was going to paint it all black, but a friend though a brighter color like silver might make it easier to see when installing the...

a driver's door, upper rear window stop (bracket and rubber) for a 69 sportsroof? Details if you're bored: I'm in the middle of re-skinning the driver's door. It turns out that the door took a pretty good lick sometime in its life roughly 8-10 inches from the rear edge of the door. The...

I de-skinned my trunk lid this weekend and discovered that there is some kind of glue/adhesive between the skin and the support structure. Anybody know what this stuff is called and where to get some of it? Obviously I'll need to put some back on here when I put the trunk lid skin back on...

Howdy all, Can anybody describe how to adjust the latch on a vert to pull the top down tighter onto the top of the windshield? The passenger side latch on my car doesn't pull my top nearly as snug as the driver side latch does. You can see the gap is much larger. I looked at the latch...

Hello all, I've got a 69' Mach1 I'm working on, the headlight extension has a tab on the front bottom that is damaged. The Tab is cracked where it connects to the main part of the headlight extension. Is this repairable? Here's a couple of pics: Driver's Side Headlight Extension The...

Hello all, I've got a 87' LX 5.0 that is completely stock except a 3G alt upgrade. I'd like to keep it stock, but am finding it difficult to find stock parts to put back on the car. My current dilemma - the Tach has died again, and I'd rather put a new one in instead of another junk yard...

I'm about to buy a replacement hood for the Mach1, does anyone have any experience with the repro hoods? All the vendors sell the repro versions for about $100 less than the Ford tooling version. I just wondering if the repro hoods are substantially inferior, ie need alot of work or are made...

Anyone looked at using 05'-07' front brakes as an upgrade? Apparently they have a 12" front rotor and the rears are 11.8". Given the huge numbers sold over the last few years these are going to turn up in yards in large numbers soon. Seems like another "MustangSteve" bracket design might be...

Need suggestions for what to do with a rustbucket Short version: I've got a 69 Convertible with a 6 cyl., C4, good title, dissassembled but almost all original parts included, LOTS of rust. I'm thinking of selling it on ebay. Any suggestions? Should I bother with a reserve? When should the...

Is the cowl on a 69 convertible the same as a cowl on a 69 sportsroof (fastback)? My Mach1 cowl is beatup pretty bad, and I can potentially get a cowl from a vert thats in good shape, just wondering if I can save myself a little work. Thanks in advance!!!
