A good friend p[osted on another forum that there is a picture and some nice words about a II printed in the October 09 issue of "Modified Mustangs and Fords" in the section covering the '09 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals. It just happenes to be mine!?!?!? The IIs get so little coverage that any...

AOD install complete! Oer the last 6 months I've aquired and made all the parts to rebuild and install an AOD in my Cobra behind the windsor. It has been an interesting adventure. to say the least. I rebuilt the AOD front to back and installed the 4R70W gearset for the wide ratio (lower) 1st...

Finally after 5 years and countless dollars and 2 painters the car is Blue. That is the second white that was on the car. The first white was "SUPPOSED" to be 9D - "Polar white". Well it was white but not even close to what I or the painter wanted. So we blocked it back down and got a different...

Anyone who has done the Granada brake swap what did you do for hoses? I found hoses that work but they are not quite long enough. Doing some work this weekend and I found a couple of spots that had become chaffed. I was looking to possibly get braided lines, but was unsure about this. I don't...

Over the past three years my garage mate has really gotten into the powercoating thing. The only drawback is that we were limited to what we could do by what would fit into a standard household oven. Basicly if it's metal, can take the heat, and it fits in an oven it gets powdercoated. Well as...

I was in Reading, PA this weekend for a family thing. And out driving around Sunday I saw a really nice II coupe. It was Yellow with black trim and bezels, and some kind of scoop. ( could get up to him with mom in the car :( ) It was a V8 and had duals out the passenger side, with what looked...

I used the dreaded Heddman 30s headers on my car. But with the 351's extra height and width I had to do a lot of modifications to them to make them fit the 351. I had changed the top of the #1 tube to clear the frame rail but left the bottom alone. I figured new new V8 A/C front springs I'd be...

Are the govener springs in the C4's different for different rear ratios? With a lower ratio rear the drive shaft would spin faster and the gov. would kick in faster. My trans shifts way too quick for my liking and I was wandering if I could change the springs or the entire gov., And would this...

Well the CobraII351 car has finally gone to the paint shop. I was toying with the idea of doing it myself but the more I heard about the delicacies of painting BB/CC, I really didn't want to spray $600 worth of paint and have it look like crap! So I leave the finish work to the "professionals"...

Here is a link to my friends Website. He is just finishing his race car and should be able to race this year. He completed several raceing schools and is very into INDY and CART, and SCCA type racing. The body was the last thing completed and I finished painting that for him this past weekend...

I'm doing my best to put yet another piece of equipment into the mess. I got all to the parts and wiring for a mid 70's Ford cruise control system. It looked to the a tight fit at fiest but with cutting and rewelding the bracket I tink I have it all under the hood at least. I used the speedo...

Rides Fast Forward Fast Back Ace designer and hot rod builder Troy Trepanier turns a 1976 Mustang into a one-of-a-kind muscle car. Explore the long and tantalizing history of this Ford classic as an American icon that inspires hot rod builders around the world. The above was copied...

Does anyone have any info on the mid 70's ford cruise control systems? I am trying to wire one in. I have all the stuff. I just need to know what some wires are so that I can connect them to the right location. I have the 75-76 manual set but that just shows the diagram, it doesn't label the...

I am painting my Cobra II Blue w/white stripes. I hope to have it done to drive it to Nashville this year in April. With my state implementing emmisions testing I need to get classic/collectible plates on the car as they are emmisions checking exempt. Here's where I need the help. I need four...
