    Would a '70 clutch/brake pedal assembly work in a '68?

    That makes it a lot easier, forgot to tell you you also need the z bar setup, mounting brackets, and clutch pedal pushrod.

    Would a '70 clutch/brake pedal assembly work in a '68?

    You just need the pedals, no need to take out the whole assembly. Does your car have power brakes? Drums all around? Discs in the front and drums on the rear? How about the Mach 1? If both cars have power brakes, just get the clutch pedal from your uncle´s, and trim your automatic brake pedal...

    Homemade adjustable strut rods

    That´s exactly what these guys have been doing for a long time, they claim they haven´t had a failure as of yet, and they race their cars. I actually thought about it for a second, but since I have a welder and required tools to tackle the bracket myself, I decided to do it. Besides I kinda...

    Wheel rub on coil spring covers - whats the fix?

    This is the thread. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=478487 Although 67-68 don´t really need a wedge kit unless you drop them more than 1 inch (with the A-arm drop, not by cutting coils).

    Doctor Opentracker, you´ve got a patient waiting

    Hey John, I was wondering, If I could install regular bearings (kind of like the ones you use for the spring perches) in place of the LCA bushing, you know, without having to take out the tube and replace it with a thicker walled one. Or is it better (safer) to do the swap like you do with a...

    Removing my 68 FB Windshield, any tips?

    First of all, get the proper tool to remove the moldings, don´t use a flat end screwdriver, it will ruin them. Don´t use a wire, just cut the weatherstrip all around the glass and push it out from the inside. Clean up the mess with pain thinner.
