    Electrical Nightmares...

    I was thinking the same thing. Though it is not what I want to hear..I hate electrical work. Yes as long as the battery is hooked up the Brake lights, Instrument cluster lights, and dome light stay on. I thought it might be the light switch, but someone told me that it would only be the...

    Just an update, with a couple questions.

    I haven't been on here in months, have just been fed up with my mustang. Haven't done anything with it in some time. to recap: its a 67 with a 1968 302 2v. The damn thing will only stay running for between 20 minutes and 2 days. Originally I was just going to have it rebuilt but now I may go...

    Rear end question?

    Jacked my 67 mustang up today, put it in drive blocked the passenger rear tire from moving and tried to spin the drivers side and it wouldn't move. Unblocked the tire and they both spun in unison...does this mean I have a locked rear end? Also what are the ways to tell if I have an 8" or 9"...

    These cars are therapeutic!

    Ahh. I can not wait till the weather gets nice here in MI so I can drive mine again. That is the greatest thing in the world, just cruising down the street with your arm out the window listening to the sound of your car (sometimes the radio) All my worries and troubles just dissipate...

    What color to paint my car?

    OK, I know no one can decide this for me, and that it is purley up to me...but I am looking for opinions. My first thought was Midnight blue with a metal fleck. Then I was thinking about Vintage Burgundy. Favorite out of these two? Or do you have any other suggestions, I usually prefer...

    Is an original 68 302 and C4 worth anything?

    Hey! eBay isn't just for cheap crap!! I bought my 67 Mustang Coupe on eBay!

    Girlfriend just made my day

    Actually I believe that would be the gas tank you are seeing. the classic mustangs used a "drop in" gas tank, and it doubled as a trunk floor if I remember correctly.

    Should I buy new bumpers?

    What would be cheaper and more practical, Buying new OEM bumpers or getting my originals Re-chromed? The back bumper has some rust and both are pitted. Thanks.

    Infiniti wants to race me...what do you think?

    He still claims that it is 280RWHP:shrug: Do you have any suggestions on tires? I am in need of new ones anyway mine are completley bald :rolleyes: I want something that will give me good traction at the track, but also be able to drive in normal street conditions-including rain.

    Infiniti wants to race me...what do you think?

    that is usually my approach.. there is a kid at my school with a 02 toyota cellica and he wanted to race me, and said that my car didn't stand a chance against him. I laughed and that was the end of it. but I don't know there is just something about this guy, I need to race him.

    Infiniti wants to race me...what do you think?

    I think I should learn how to launch correctly, in the past I have always either gone to soft, or to hard and spun the tires.

    Infiniti wants to race me...what do you think?

    Yeah I don't know of any places that do cruise-ins. And from what I hear Cruisers isn't going to be doing that this summer but I don't know for sure. As far as if anyone still "cruises" Westnedge yes and no. It is more or less people with tuners that think they are cool, and more times than...
