    Modern take off wheels, rod and custom front

    I've got the rod and custom mustang II front end. What are the chances that some year's wheels are the correct size? I'm hoping to stumble across a craigslist find. I have the stock rear end with drums and the 9 inch ford disks up front. Thanks for the help.

    Has anyone ever heard of spraying POR 15 with a regular spray bottle; like an old windex bottle? I'm looking to coat the bottom of my coupe and this option was recommended to me.

    new wheel arches

    My rear quarters aren't too bad, but I've been advised to get new wheel arches. (if they exist as a new part) Does anyone know of a place that just sells the arch part of the quarter?

    common questions from a rookie

    I've been slowly, very slowly working to restore my 1965 coupe. My dad bought it new way back when, he sold it to his dad in 72. It sat in my Grandpa's garage until 92. I drove it a bit but it sat while I went to college. Fast forward...it's completely apart in my garage. I don't know much...

I know the trunk floor and rear frame needs work and I know I want sub frame connectors. Considering it costs more than $200 for a full new rear rail do you think it's worth while to...

    Mustang 2 coilover arms

    I've got the Rod and Custom Cross member. As soon as I get that welded in I'll buy the rest of the parts. My question is, is $500 a good price for a 4 piece set of tubular coilover arms? If I just compare prices what exactly should I look for? Is this something I could find at Summit, for some...

    Those of you with Rod and Custom suspension

    Couple questions; I trimmed the frame rail at the top outside. Just checking to make sure it's ok to leave the bottom edge. Also how much gap should there be between the two pieces at the top inside corner?

    valve covers

    Should I buy tall or short valve covers? I've installed roller tip rockers and a new cam but other than that my valve train is stock. Is there a benefit to one or the other? Clerance issues? It's a 65 289, and I've got an Edelbrock intake manifold and may one day want AC. Thoughts?

    What brand Mustang II?

    I'm still early in my 65 coupe project however I think I've decided to go with the mustang II IFS. For budget reasons I think I'll just start with the cross member and go from there. My question is what brand would you suggest? Heidt's, Rod and Custom motorsports or Martz Chassis?
