Have a 65 coupe with the blue interior. It's a little too plain for me. Has anyone did a two toning with black, like black door panels, black upholstery trimmed with blue, ect? Since the dash is black with blue trim just thought it might work to carry out that theme. Whadda ya think?

Have a 65 coupe with the original steering wheel. Has anyone put the Grant wood wheel on that retails for around $130? How do you like it? How's it look? Also does the Cobra walnut gear shift handle match it?

Put a new 1 " sway bar and bushings on this spring. About a month ago started getting a terrible squeek from the front end. It's both the bushings where the rod connects to the frame. Has anyone had the same problem? I pulled em loose and sprayed em with silicon and that has fixed it , at...

Replaced my black "Mustang Powered By Ford" valve covers with some aluminum, ribbed, Cal Customs that I bought over EBay. They have ribs that come down the front and back that are deeper than the "MPBF's"They give it a much more vintage look as opposed to the modern look of the previous. Anyone...

I put one on my 65 (289). All I had to do was remove the hoses and the overflow tube. I got the original style metal one. It took some time to work it in around the fan blade but quicker than taking the rad out. If you have the plastic shroud I think they are deeper so you probably will have to...

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. By properly I mean the original colors. I thought the hinges were natural metal or argent. Thanks.

I also have a 65 coupe with a C4. Just curious when you say annoying at highway speeds what are you referring to? At 70 mine is quite,smooth and turning less than 3000 r.p.m.Not trying to discourage you from swapping trannys just wondering what the problem might be. I have a 280 rear end...

Although I am not restoring my 65 coupe to factory specs I would like to properly paint alot of items like the hood hinges, hood latch, ect. Is there anyplace on the internet to get this info or if not can anyone suggest a good book for it?

Because the ride was too stiff and the height was too high. Previous owner had put the fives on. Hey, if you want easy, buy a new Toyota.

65 coupe Finally got around to it. Took one leaf out of my 5 leaf springs ( the rear end set up too much) and it dropped the back about an inch. Looks much better. While I was at it I sandblasted the drums ( previous owners had them black, then red, then black again) and the shackles...

Need a new cover for a 15 inch wheel (trunk). Are they one size fits all or does someone sell a 15 inch cover?

I have a dual point Mallory and it required a special kit from Pertronix.Had a Mustang parts dealer order it directly from Pertronix. Put it on and the car barely started and ran even worse until I set the timing. I would make sure that I had the right kit before doing anything else.

I did the opposite on my 65. Went from a 4 speed to an auto. I just got the automatic pedals from a donor car and exchanged them. That would probably be your easiest route. Everything was basically just a swap out. Best I can remember the crossmember is the same.IMO- It's tougher to go from a...

Hey , if you like the pistol grip then put one on. Thats one of those things that you can always change back later if you change your mind. This is a great forum for tech advice but we all have our own opinion on what looks good. Ain't no Taliban in this country--- do your own thing! . .

Gonna remove the black "Mustang Powered by Ford" valve covers and put on a set of the finned aluminum vintage Ford covers. I've seen another set polished up and they looked great. Any suggestions on the best way to shine them?

Thanks guys-I've considered the lowering blocks but would like to soften the ride so I will most likely try removing the spring. Will let you know how it comes out.THANKS AGAIN!

Just my opinion---Doing a complete restoration will cost you much more than the car will be worth BUT if you are doing it for sentimental reasons ( family car , had one like it in high school, ect) and/ or you just love working on an old car then I would say go for it. If you go out and buy a...

I have the 5 leaf springs and they are very stiff and raise the back of the car too much. Has anyone removed the small bottom leaf? Just wondering how much it would drop the rear and soften the ride? It looks pretty simple to remove it.

I have the humphugger also. Really like the storage space and it blends in perfectly with the interior. However if the factory console is in good shape it probably would be worth buying it even if you just end up selling it. They are bringing premium prices on EBay.

If you"re planning on replacing your carpet soon be careful when you trim it if you use your old front piece for a pattern. The vinal piece that should set up against the firewall and beside your foot when its on the accelarater may be setting back about 3 inches away from where it should. This...
