    Mice!

    My car can sit for long periods of time and it seems that some mice have taken up residence in my 65 and do not pay rent! Is there anything I can do to deter them from hanging around? I do not want to poison for fear they will die in the car somewhere. I actually heard some fierce chewing...

    Cable to Hydraulic clutch conversion

    Hello All I installed a T5 from my old 93 stang into my 65 a couple years ago. I went with a cable clutch, but have had difficulty with routing it because of my headers and it has melted. I'm thinking I'd like to switch to a hydraulic. Can anyone provide me a website or instructions for...

    Lowering 65

    Hi everyone, I'm sure this a redundant thread, so if you can point me to one that helps or a website, that would be appreciated. I would like to lower my 65 1 inch all around. What is the best way (economical, but don't want quality to suffer) to get this done? Where are the best...

    2005 Saleen

    Hi everyone I usually post in the classic forum, but had a question for you late model guru's. I just bought a 2005 Saleen (NA) and was curious as to exactly how many of my exact car have been produced. I understand that Saleen is producing around 2k of these cars (I assume this is the NA...

    Got some pics of the 65!

    Thanks everyone for the replies! Floor pans and exterior paint are definetly next on the list. The paint is vveeeerrryyy tired and I personally don't care for red a whole lot. Not to mention every classic mustang I see in my area is red. The valance is new and un painted. I dunno though...

    Got some pics of the 65!

    Hey everyone, Got some pics of the 65 I've been working on for the last year and a half. I've replaced the engine and tranny, made some suspension mods and worked on the interior. The next step will be getting the exterior the way I want. This whole project has been a learning experience...

    I have a new shifter for my T5 on order and once it arrives you're welcome to my stock one. Probably 1-2 weeks before I get it, though.

    For those having trouble keeping it cool....

    Interesting. I recently switched to the same Howe Rad, bought a 6 blade electric fan and added a high volume water pump. STILL overheating in stop go, even now while the weather is still cool. Hate to think how bad it could be this summer. My temp readings are the same as yours in the same...

    Need Help with Cam and Cylinder Heads Choice

    The Performer is almost the same as stock. I'm dumping mine for an Air Gap this weekend. I agree with the other poster, spend the money now for a good set of heads, instead of buying cheaper ones only to want to upgrade later.

    65 interior changes

    I did the same thing with my interior. I have the palamino color, which was way to plain for me. I went the cheap route though and instead of replacing door panels, etc. I used vinyl paint. Worked great. Usually when I tell people I painted it, they're suprised and think it looks like the...

    Vacuum issues....

    Thanks everyone. I'm not using synthetic oil for the first 500 miles or so. I have read about breaking in engines with high RMP's to help seat the rings. I've driven the car somewhat aggressively but have yet to get on her. The carb isn't tuned that well or just plain not working...

    Vacuum issues....

    Well, it's hard to say. The car is running OK. I know I have a carb problem, which is giving me some grief, but nothing I can attribute to the vacuum issues. I only have about 200 miles on my rebuild, so I haven't really run her hard yet. So far the throttle response is good and other than...

    Vacuum issues....

    I've been having vacuum issues since my rebuild. I cannot find any leaks in the seals of the intake or carb. I hook a vacuum gauge up the the intake (port where old C4 tranny connected) and while at idle the gauge reads around 15. When I hit the gas, the gauge jumps up. Is it possible that...
