    Thoughts on this MIG welder

    I definately think you should PASS on it, and SEND ME A LINK TO THE AD ASAP SO I CAN GET IT... lol. I am no welder, I can stick pieces together, but I have been looking at this unit new at Tractor Supply for a year now... it seems like a decent hobbyist unit to me. at that price I would not...

    Painted, finally!

    looks great to me. I am a big fan of the stripes, but it also looks good without them... your call. If it were mine, I'd think about doing the stripes in a dark grey

    Borgeson Group Purchase?

    I would have been interested about 3 weeks ago when I got mine ! actually, all I got for now was the basic kit so I can make the car a pusher, I still need to get a pump, and I'm thinking about a tilt column to go with it if/when the funds allow, which may be a while.

    '66 suspension saga

    man sorry to hear this, I hope you get it worked out. I have a similar set of parts sitting in the garage waiting to go onto the car, hopefully next weekend. I was hoping for a nice low stance with the front about an inch lower than the rear. Like you I read and read and read and finally put...

    Poll :: Help with New Tire Purchase

    I had 2 different retailers tell me the KDW 2's were noisy and people were not happy with them. I ALMOST went with Hankook RS-3's, but the tire guy said he didn't have enough feedback on them to be able to recommend them. I ended up with the Yokohama S-drives on my new wheels. Plus they were...

    Retro vs Custom

    something to think about... thanks for the suggestion. I probably have several months before I'm ready to finish the interior, so I have some time to mull it over. I like to plan things out tho so I have a 'roadmap' on where the car will end up, which is why I'm researching and debating it now.

    Problems with TCP Rack and Pinion/U-Joints

    I have no experience with this R&P yet, but planning on installing one so I have been studying up on them. I've read a couple different things which may or may not be applicable... first said was to not have cut the double D shafts too long or binding can occur, second is to drill/dimple where...

    CWM WHEELS INFO NEEDED

    I just got a set of 7/8" CWM wheels last week for my 66. I got the ones with the black centers and was really impressed with the quality vs the price on these wheels. Yesterday I had a set of Yokohama S drive tires mounted to the wheels in 225/45/17 and 235/45/17. no comment on how they fit...

    Pic? Silver stang with Grey stripes

    here's what I did... I went to loacal Pep Boys and Advanced Auto and picked up a few spray cans of duplicolor touch up paint in colors I was considering. Picked up some steel scraps from my local steel fab shop (they allow dumpster diving) but anything that will hold paint will do. paint a...

    Retro vs Custom

    yep that is the exact kit I have coming to try. I pulled out the A/C from the car because I just never liked the look of it hanging under there and the added clutter in the engine bay, and it never worked anyway. and it's a convertible anyway so the top will always be down. no console either...

    Retro vs Custom

    Would the Mustang police come arrest me if I contemplated cutting the dash in my 66 for a DIN radio? This is one of the options I am considering. The rest of my car will be restomod not original. I've got a box coming that installs under the dash and holds a DIN radio, but not sure how it...

    anyone bought anything from LAUREL MOUNTAIN MUSTANG

    I've been looking at this same gauge cluster from Laurel Mtn on EBAY... hell it could even be the one you returned... glad I read your post on the (lack of) quality, I was getting ready to hit buy it now in the next day or 2. I need a new gauge panel, sucks the only choices (that I know of) are...

    Tire Recommendations

    can't help too much, except to say that my new staggered 17x7 and 17x8 rims got here TODAY from CWM on EBAY, and I'm trying to decide on tires as well. So far I am very happy with these wheels. Been surfing tirerack.com for a few days looking at what they have. I think I have decided on Hankook...

    Speedhut Gauges/Tachs???

    THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I could not find the combination I wanted in Autometer gauges. I thought I was going to have to settle for something in their lineup that was close but not what i wanted. With the Gaugehut gauges being customizable, I can get exactly what I want. this is what I...

    Droooooool...

    Waylon - I was going to recover the seats myself... I even went so far as to get a set of hog ring pliers and rings. Until I pulled my old seats apart and saw what all was involved...lol. I pulled everything apart, cleaned up the frames and such, then dropped the stuff off at an upholsterer...

    Droooooool...

    No build thread, not much to look at yet except the shell on a rack and piles of parts. A retired mechanic/bodyman friend is bringing the car back to life after severe rust damage. that work was way beyond my skills. it's about a 4-6 weeks away from being ready to go to the painter. I already...

    Retro vs Custom

    dang I am a ways away from interior but was planning on a CAS 630 radio for ipod control. with a convertible I need all the sound i can get. how bad are these really? hell I can't half hear anyway so maybe it's a non-issue, and I'll just get louder mufflers... lol. maybe a boom box on the...

    Droooooool...

    I love it. I am doing similar touches to my 66 convertible I am rebuilding. Nothing so extreme, but I am using some of the same styling cues.
