What can I say if I wanted my car to look like a Cougar I would go buy one. Not feeling them and I love the early Cougars. Our tail lights are distinctive to our model years. Which I might do in the future anyway..............

Extremely unfortunate. Years ago someone asked my wife about trying to get my 71 on one of "them shows" to have work done to it while I was deployed. Like they have done too many times for troops gone to war. "He would kill them first for fugin up that damn a car and then he would divorce me...

I used some small gator clips that I have in my garage for projects like that. In my case I have a DC power supply specifically for my RC Cars and Slot Cars but adjusted it to 12V DC and connected positive and negative to the cluster. I am sure a battery would work fine also. I don't have the...

72HCODE hit it right on the head. 43 years is a long time. 38 of those years were spent in upstate(think Canada) New York for my Mustang. While it is a phenomenal survivor for its age you can tell the winters took its toll in unseen areas. The copper contacts had corroded and the previously...

Like they said bad bidness all around. It was way to easy back in the day to swap vins on these cars. Rebodied can get you in a serious mess legally. No legitimate reason to "rebody" one of these cars other than to pass a cheaper model for something else. As far as I know it also falls in the...

I went with Tri-Y headers on my 302 if that helps. The primary's aren't as big but none of the long tubes fit 302 with a 4-speed that I found. Without custom work or spending an exorbitant amount of money. In order to fit the Tri-y's I had trim the bell housing some though. Pics in the thread...

One thing to add here is the condition of the printed circuit for you gauges can be an issue also. I know when I installed my LED's the flexible circuit harness was not so flexible anymore and very brittle. Just worn out after 40 years. So I just held off installed a new one at the same time as...

Sounds like every other moron I have talked to who thinks they have a gold mine. I don't bother anymore. Its not worth it.

God knows aint that the truth. I test virtually all of them these days prior to install. I can't count the number of bad ones I have seen straight out of the box. Fail to open, Fail to open fully, Fail to open progressively. Such a simple item that has been in production for so long. Yet...

Personally I'll go for the aluminum radiator as a replacement over stock any day. While the Aluminum may not displace as much heat as a stock copper radiator at the same thickness. Aluminum out shines copper in its strength. Allowing for a much thicker stronger better flowing radiator which can...

I feel your pain on things going wrong. Mine was the same way for a number of years. Good reason I have swapped out many of those components for more reliable modern parts. No its not concourse correct. But it makes my car drive well without breaking down on a regular basis. Not only that but...

I tend to ignore the morons why want to be selective about who is a biker and who isn't. Tend to ride more on my own for that very reason. To many judgmental fu*%@ who think they define who or what someone is. I have been riding a lil old Vulcan 500 for years. Customizations here and there over...

The new transmissions are awesome compared to what our cars came with. Adjusting the shift points in the modern transmissions can literally gain tenths in the quarter with just a little time tweaking some settings. I love the 4-Speed in my Mustang but the modern auto trans has alot of pluses. I...

Been using stainless bolts for years. I try to use them for show when ever I can. I always coated them with anti-seize and never had an issue with dis-assembly. Would definitely agree though. Need to put something on them or corrosion will make life suck later.

I was looking at getting a kit like this when I get to that part. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251615955814?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I can't speak for the quality or customer service of the parts these guys make. I have seen their dominator hood on more than a few of our cars and it looks awesome. I am a cowl hood fan in general, but our mustangs particularly look nice with a cowl hood...

Great article Kit,l really love how you tied the Mustang and lubrication advances through out its history into the article.

Two thumbs up here damn smart mod that you integrated very well. Might just have to steal the idea. Were you lying in the truck trying to keep the piston compressed while trying to find the optimal placement?

Not gonna be able to afford fixing my car soon with all of the publicity. I would switch to a 60's galaxy or a cougar but prices are already jacked up on those also.

Well I can say that while I am gone its allowing me to continue amassing parts. I am gonna be busy when I get back. Already have these setting in the garage. Keeping the wife busy looking for a house for us to settle into in the Louisville, KY area Cal-tracs Large Bell Housing (Shaved Mine to...
