Crickets.....? Anyone have a recommendation of a bezel to use if I do them myself? Is Scott Drake's brushed aluminum bezel the only game in town?

I know JME used to do them, and I was going to order from Mustang Depot, but it looks like they are using Scott Drake's bezel for the Autometer gauges. With the SD bezel the gauges would drop in from the front. I like the "older?" method where the gauges mount in from the back of the bezel...

I have had a '68 Shelby coupe clone sitting idle in another another shop in Orange, VA for the past year. I think it's well past time to look for someone else. I live in Richmond, VA (West end), but anywhere with in 60 miles would be fine. I presently drive over an hour to see a car not get...

Tibernot, did you ever get your answer? I too am looking for fenders and am concerned on the "crispness" of the Ford Tooling as well how delicate they may be due to either the metal being thinner or or just weaker compared to the metal being stamped in the late sixties. I've called around...

I'm looking to do a 1968 Shelby clone (really more like the Green Hornet since it's a coupe), but I've read too many horror stories and not too many successes. I understand that Shelby's were not show cars and the gaps varied greatly, so I guess I'm looking for a manufacture whose fiberglass...

I went to Advance Auto Parts and bought about 10 different hoses based on the results of some more aggressive online searching. I ended up using Dayco C71280 for the upper, and a Dayco C70438 for the lower hoses. The upper hose only needed about 1 inch, max, removed from the thermostat housing...

I have a Griffin big block radiator (Cu-00042) and a 5.0L block with the brackets from a 80's Mustang in my 1967 Mustang (in progress). I have searched the forum and see people recommending using flex lines, or the lower hoses from a Maverick or Bronco II, but they all seem to have a small block...

That was my first thought....replaced it with a ford racing unit.

I'm reinstalling the original motor into my '95 GT after having my 347 "fun". The orginal motor has been on a engine stang covered (bagged) for the last six years. Now that I've put the motor back in, I have a mystery vibration. When the motor was pulled I felt it was fine, only 100K miles...

Thanks for the input everyone. I would really like to take the gamble that the headers will fit and not need "dimpling", but you all know that will not be the case. Murphy's Law. Maybe I'm too negative, but after the last set.... I will check out Doug's and the other Doug's. Is there any...

Thanks for the input. Yea, it sucks it costs more but its the only way to be sure. I don't think I'm willing to gamble that they'll fit perfect. On the plus side, I was watching an old episode of Overhauln, Rustang, and they used FPA headers. And Mustang Monthly loves them too.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. 68GT500KR, I asked about the coating because elsewhere I read that if you buy coated headers you are on your own. Sounds like you had a great customer experience. Seems FPA deserves a phone from me. I didn't even know adapters were an option for...

Do you get any vibration when you slowly rev your engine while parked?

Gene, thanks for the feedback. The 347 was in my 95 with both short and long tubes. When I went to long-tubes, low-end driveability improved and this went what I thought was supposed to happen (I've been wrong so many times before, so....), improved low-end and more HP at higher RPMs. I do...

I just checked out your ride, sweet!, so how is the ground clearance?

Over on vintage-mustang.com is where I've seen the most discussion about FPA's headers. Were your's coated?

Hey guys, on another project of mine, a 1995 Mustang, I purchased a set of long tubes headers, where the fitment left a lot to be desired. So now that it is time to get headers for my current project, a 67 coupe, its like starting from square one all over again. I would prefer long tubes...

okay. seems that i'm updating my parts list. I too liked that they are already painted black.

Anybody used these? They seem like a good deal, and comparable to RMP mounts, plus they do not charge extra for dropped brackets. 1965-70 Mustang Adjustable Motor Mount Kit NEW NEW

but maybe I'm going about this wrong. I got some replies over at Machine Shop Recommendations for Richmond, VA - Corral.net : Ford Mustang Forums with the same question, but maybe I'm going about this wrong. Since there was nothing wrong (IMO) with the old 5.0L, maybe I should sell it, try...
