RE: restoring 66 mustang
i got a 66 coupe, 289, with a manual 3 speed tranny. i just started working on mine, i dont know what shape yours is in but i was lucky finding mine, it has no rust anywhere so thats great. im having the same issue with one of my blinkers, in one of the mustang magazines i read said that one of the first things you should try is replacing the turn signal mechanism, it controls the turnsignals and it interrupts the brake light so if you r having a big issue with it u should probably try that or you could just go to the mustang monthly website and they have all kinds of articles on restoring. good luck.
meich75, its good to see another north carolinean around here, im not originally from here but ive been stationed here for the past 7 yrs or so. my brother lives up there by raleigh, i think its called cary, i dont know if im spelling it right but its right by raleigh.

RE: restoring 66 mustang
Welcome to the forum!!
Let me see if I have this right, are you keeping the 6 cylinder engineor getting rid of the 6?
As far as the wires go there are several options that can completely replace the wiring, from stock replacements to aftermarket kits.
Your options will varied depending on just how stock you want to go back.
You will find the part selections available for your 66 astounding. Classic Mustangs have the advantage of a very strong aftermarket parts industry.

Welcome! You can get a factory harness (repop) from any of the Mustang parts houses, but they can be expensive. If you need the whole harness, might want to check with Painless or Ron Francis. Still expensive but more flexible.
As JMD said, you can buy practically anything you need for classic Mustangs.

WELCOME (i guess, even tho your joined date is really old, this is your first post).
I also have a 66 and have done some work on it. As far as the seats go, there are 4 bolts holding each seat in that you have to access from under the car. There should be 4 holes that line up with the seats and you just have to stick a ratchet in there and get the nuts out. After that, you should be able to lift the seats out.
Good luck!

I don't think there are any regular posters from 04 posting in the Classic section anyway!
Everyone knows that OT really does not count!!
