    STUCK USING ROCKER PANEL CLIPS - Please advise!

    I rivited the plastic rocker panel clips to my 67 coupe. But the rivit pulls them in so tight, the little prong isnt far enough away from the body to engage the rocker panel. How to make it work???? Do I need to put washers behind the clips to keep it away from body? Or some kind of...

    1967 GT500E Vert W/IRS MII Frt

    I recently purchased a 68 vert, and plan on making it a 67 Shelby . You did some nice work there! Im still not sure weather I like the lower front valance on the Eleanors, or the little lights in the headlight buckets for that matter. Sometimes I like it, sometimes i dont. So Im...

    sound deadener kit

    Those "sound deadner" kits are junk. Die cut flimsly graniy stuff that barley covers anything. Do yourself a favor and go to Home Desperate and pick up a roll of Tri Ply, or rubberoid modified roofing, comes in a roll, and you can cut and weld (with a butane torch) this stuff to conform to...

    Windsor Heads on 302

    Well I know their cast iron heads, and I know its a 302. Theyre painted Ford blue but I know that dosent mean anything. So your saying their aftermarket heads cause they say windsor on them? Are these good heads?

    Windsor Heads on 302

    I pulled the valve covers off my 68 verts' 302, and it says in big letters across the tops - WINDSOR Now I know what a windsor engine is but i thought they were only 351's, not 302's. It also has a beautiful set dark cooper colored jewel like roller rocker arms, look top quality, maybe...

    Headlights blink on and off

    I put 100 watt H4 bulbs in my 67 coupe, and now every time I put the lights on , they work for about 10 minutes and then just blink on and off. Is the bulb too high a wattage or is is something to do with the switch?

    Lower side scoops

    Just got done putting them back in, and it was just a PITA as taking them out. Pull the rear inner panels out, and unbolt the three bolts at the bottom of the window frame. I unloosened all the window bolts but I think just the bottom ones are enough to pull the window frames out enough...

    Lights dont work on my 67

    Right on the money! My brother found a bad ground at the switch- wire abortion under my dash from last owner- All lights work now, and yes bad bulbs in back. Just hope those 100 watt bulbs dont melt my el cheapo plastic headlights.

    Lights dont work on my 67

    Rear lights do, as do brake lights, but front head and parking lights dont work. Changed the bulbs in the front headlights to those "Street Glow" H4 bright lights you get at AutoZone or JC, and their 100 watt. Would that have anything to do with it? All the connections are made, and i...

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Pete, just to change the subject here a bit , I went and picked up my 68 Vert the other day. I bought it last month and left it at the ladys house, so when i got it i finally had a chance to go thru the whole car. I am happy to report there is no rust on this car at all. Everything is...

    Stalling and oil pressure problem

    It makes sense, every time it stalled it did it when it was hot out, maybe above 85 degres, so I think its vapor lock. I do have the factory hard line running from the fuel pump to the carb, I guess I should replace it with a 3/8 rubber fuel line. The spacer is under the 2bbl carb. I dont...

    Stalling and oil pressure problem

    I dont know if the two are related, but here goes- When I start my 67 289, I have good oil pressure- after about 10 minutes or it warms up it drops to nothing on the gauge and stays there, unless I come to a stoplight and rev it up a bit, then it goes up, but right back down again...
