    Interior paint

    I second don't sand the stamped grain, use a thinner. I used the thinner and a green scouring pad to help get the prior paint off. Apply two thin coats for the door, as anything more, you will loose the texture.

    Tire Pressure Question

    I have played around with some high tire pressures like that. The higher pressure prevents the sidewall from flexing over in high cornering g's. I learned about the high tire pressure information from a Goodyear tech guy at Laguna Seca, but that was in the late 80's. (Running an SVO, then a...

    Which rear gears?

    I liked the 3.91's I had in my 71 Boss, nice response getting the big car moving.. but if I were making 300 mile trips regularly, the 3.55's would be my choice... If you can afford the hit on the gas mileage, go for the higher numbered gear..

    Thunderbird/Cobra IRS

    I know that Shelby experimented with an independent rear in a 68 Shelby, known as the Green Hornet. But that was done with a 9 inch. The T-Bird rear is component system, has 4 bolts that hold it in and either uses a 7.5 or 8.8. If you get serious about looking for one, try and find the rear...

    Some pictures of my project... The Mustang SHO

    Having driven a car that had a modded II suspension up front, when set up properly, it handles better than the stock classic Mustang. There is also a number of brake options available, and Alston Racing offers the setup now in different widths.

    What is a 66 Shelby GT 350 worth?

    There are actually two VIN's that you will want to know. The first VIN is the Shelby tag found in the engine compartment. This tag is held on by two pop rivets. The second VIN you want to know, is stamped under the Shelby VIN. Drill out one of the rivets, slide the Shelby VIN out of the way...

    Engine Transplant

    4.6 is too wide to be an easy swap, without clearancing or removing shock towers. The 302 vs. 351 is an easy choice, 302 hands down. The 302 once again has no clearance issues. 351 runs into problems with intake manifolds being too tall on occasion. 390 or 428 fit, but maintenance is an...

    The Mustang II set up is the way to go, it will clean up the engine compartment nicely, giving you the room you need to make the swap work.

    I hope I didn't over rev my motor?

    it wasn't an over rev issue. I had my built 289 with a 4 speed top loader turning 7300 with 4.11 gears going into turn one at Willow Springs, right at 150mph..

    Anyone every restore their stock rims?

    Here is one of the articles I had on the topic. Aluminum rims can be refinished by sanding with 400 wet sand paper then move to 600 then 1000 then 1500 after this has been done and the old clear coat is gone, your rims will start looking better. You will see very fine scratches take a...

    Anyone every restore their stock rims?

    There was an article in Mustang Monthly years ago, they restored some ten holes off a Fox. It was very simple and straight forward. I don't have the issue anymore, but they striped the wheel, did a light polish by hand I believe, and then shot some clearcoat over it again.... not too...

    What is a 66 Shelby GT 350 worth?

    You can do a recent auction search for prices. Ebay has lots of non sellers. If I was serious about getting rid of the cars, I would drag take them to the National SAAC meet in Utah in July, or the Mid America meet this week in Tulsa. 66 Shelby's have a wide range of pricing. The earlier...

    Dies when put into gear

    As previously mentioned, the throttle return spring needs to be hooked up differently. Vacumn leaks are a real pain. It looks like you are running two spacer plates under the carb, are they needed? I can only see two gaskets, is there a gasket between the spacer plates? If you have the...
