    mysterious clunk in front end

    I think I have the same clunk. It might be my transmission cooler lines…it might be my anti roll bar has minimal clearance. I can’t find any rub marks…also my left torsion bar is not tight in the front crossmember…I have worked on it myself, and taken it to 2 shops, it continues to have play...

    RIBS 71 convertible build JUNE 21 till??

    I am out of town at the moment. I will check my paint codes in a few days. I am 99% certain the medium blue metallic SEM paint is what I bought. I’m have no idea about what the steering wheel needs or how durable it would be. Make sure you buy the right version. There is one for soft flexible...

    Spring compressor

    I prefer a lowered front look other than the standard look, so my 1 coil cut slightly tucked the front. No issues with rubbing or ride…235-15-60 on 7 inch wide rim up front… here’s a few pictures, before spring cut, car was mostly assembled, just missing a front seat rear seat and vinyl...

    Spring compressor

    Mine did the same thing, even after 6 months I could pass my fist over the tire without touching the fender. I cut an entire coil off. No issues. I did read all the manufacturers selection guides…chose the spring for my car and options… and your question, which compressor? By far the best...

    Did you clean rebuild entire carb, adjust floats, etc? Check for vacuum leaks? Did it ever work right? If so, what changed?

    convertible interior recommendation needed

    Just an fyi, not sure how much you have dealt with sellers of Mustang restoration parts….I probably spent 12-15k on various things to refurbish my mustang and bought from 10 or more vendors over 2.5 years recently …by far, CJs was the worst…they will mark an item as in stock, and as soon as you...

    convertible interior recommendation needed

    I used SEM for recoloring, bought TMI seat covers, door panels, and most everything came from NPD after having bad experiences at CJPony. The door panels and seat covers and new foam are big $, the new dash pad was under $200
