wouldn't surprise me if it did. when i had the guy come give me and estimate for sand blasting, he found a lot of spots where there was an excessive amount of bondo. on the front drivers fender and on both of the quarter pannels. there was quite a bit on the trunk lid too.

can you give me an area to look for the vin and the body tag? i looked all over the engine compartment since i didnt know where the data plate was. the dash is rusted in spots which makes it hard to see anything. i didnt see a vin anywhere. if you can give me some specific areas to look at on...

oh yeah about the tranny. i'm looking for something that i can get on a budget, and will be able to stand up to a little bit of power for when i decide to start beefing up the engine. granted that's a good long while away. i'd just like to have it ready, so that's one more part i wont have to...

ok i've run into some problems. i've gotta gut the car so i can get it sand blasted, and i cant get the seats out. i can only get to 2 of the bolts and they are square headed. they are really in there too. i dont have anything that can get to them. i've gotta get the seats out so i can tear up...

well it looks like i'm getting that engine i posted about. it's from a 5-speed manual 85 gt. is there some sort of conversion to change it to an automatic, or am i just screwed. currently i'm working on stripping out the interior so i can have a guy sand blast and prime the car. i need to get...

what and where are the torque boxes. keep in mind this is my first car project and i'm learining as i go. i assume that you mean the two i-beams on that make up the frame when you say frame rails. those look good. currently i'm looking at a new engine for it and i'm having a guy come down on wed...

yeah i was just curious about why it wouldnt let me. i posted them on yahoo. here's the address: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ss_krellin/album?.dir=/2f7e

ok here is the info off the data plate: Body - 65A Color - M Trim - 22 Date - 15C DSO - 21 Axle - 6 Trans - 6 Vehicle Warranty # - 6T07C152591 i also got the VIN off the car that i believe the 302 i'm looking at is from. not sure if it's right because the place was closed, but they didnt lock...

ok i checked the info off the data plate on FoMoCo. that's how i knew it was a v8 originally. i'll get the info when i go back to the body shop to work on the car. i'm pretty sure that the tranny is the original that came with the car, so i shouldnt have much of a problem with that. i should...

thanks for the offer, but i have a gut feeling that i'm gonna have to tear that engine apart before i can get it working. i'm gonna take a look at the 302 i found. i was told that it still runs and is in good shape. if it's good enough i'm gonna buy it and drop it in. i really dont want to deal...

well like i said about the carb, it has a a motorcraft tag, a holley float, and another name inscribed on it that isnt either one but i cant really read. it's kinda weird because it has one circular diaphram with 3 tabs that come off of it for the screws. i cant find a rebuild kit for it...

ok so i've found a 302 off of a 83-86 mustang(the junkyard wasnt sure on the year). is there anything that i should know before i go buy it and attempt to drop it in?

ok, do you guys know where i can find any of those engines pretty cheap? i was looking for line an hour last night and the cheapest i saw was around $5,000. i cant afford that since i know i'm going to have to replace most of the paneling and body parts. there's a lot of rust and a lot of spots...

2v....is that a 2 barrel? the engine has a built in manifold, so i can't change the 1 barrel. i'm looking at sticking a 289 back in it because that's what it was manufactured with. know any place that i can get one fairly cheap?

well i know for sure that the engine and the carb are not the stock parts. it originally had a 289 in it with a different carb. i'm actually missing a part in the carb too. i just noticed that i am missing that pin looking thing that sits inside the fitting for the fuel line. i'm really just...

ok my carb has different parts and numbers on it. the tag says motorcraft, but the floaters say holley, then it's got one i can't read. i'm just gonna get a new one. suggestions?

ok cool. it looks really close to the 67 color: acapulco metallic blue. i think i might have to compare the two and see which one i like better. thanks.

hey sn65, what color is your daily driver? i've been trying to figure out what that color blue is so i can possibly get my 66 coupe painted like that.
