i love the org gone in 60 second's! when i had my 71 boss i was going to paint it like that, yellow with a black hood

ill take it out and test it.

well my dad's 64 ranchero has a power steering setup that im told should work on the stang. so ill be pulling all that out and hope to have the power steering setup in by sunday.

oh oh! i drove it yesterday!

i forgot drum brakes and manual steering sucks to drive with. but was still fun and did a good burnout and such. it shift's smooth but make's a poping noise when i drive over the gutter.

i was talking to a guy a few day's ago that has 2 67 fast back's (one he is cutting the body off and putting on a newer sub frame car with a hemi in it?) but not a newer one. he said they only made this car for one year with the hemi in it.) a convert and bunch of other car's.

was hoping he would have my missing part's but no go. he did have a bran new stang emblem i got off him....i thought it would look good but i don't think i want one on. i would love to have the shelby grill!
he told my he just junked a 66 a month ago.
he think's the only good mustang is a fastback so any other is not worth fixin up....

That would be because of weak metal being displaced causing them to loosen. How many times do you feel safe retorquing them before the metal gives up? Lots of folks have put a bullet in a revolver, pointed it at their head, and heard a click. Feel lucky?

did some research and talked to my buddy at 4wheel part's and he hooked me up with a set. they have a life time free replacment warrenty and he has been working there for over 6 year's and has never even hurd of one of these spacer's having problem's.
there is also a ring that the wheel ride's on so it's not just the stud's. figured if they can handle 44'' tires 5' off the ground (snaped the axle tube's) it should have no problem's handling 245/45r17's there made out of 6061T6 aluminum , guy's run link set up's with that and love em.


well, im having a hard time finding the little part's i need. and i just found a crack in my lower arm mount.
so i need to weld and plate that up. good thing i cought it before it got any worse.

found these in the trunk!
hope i can sell em or trade em for some part's.

oh, i also bought a new never used mustang grill emblem. i thought it would look good but think im going to leave it off. so that's for sale too.

well, the spacer's came and just had a bad feeling about em.

so didnt pay for em and got those wheels up for sale.

witch is fine cus i found a nice set with good tires for 125. but there 6 hrs away.


i got my light's hooked up and working. (when you turn on your headlight's dose your front park light's turn off?) i like that tho. and the flasher's still light up so no real problem.


and still no luck on my missing part's. tho did find my missing headliner rod's.

anyone know of a good (and good priced) roll cage around. and think it will hit my head liner or should i not even bother with one. (headliner i mean)

What do you mean you didn't pay for them?

As for a roll cage, you might be better off building your own cage. Some people just go with a roll bar. Its not terribly hard if you're good with a welder.

he ordered them in for me,but didnt half to pay up front for em. and it's part of there stock so it was all good.

that's what i was going to do, but my brother said some kit's are pretty good priced and the fit is normally really good. plus he's re building his scout to run 54's and dose not want to give up the welder.

i was going to wire in a 220 plug so my brother inlaw can bring his welder home (it's at his dad's and im not welcome there) i was going to wire the plug in where there are 110 wall socket's (so i don't half to run new wirethrought the wall's of the house) and upgrade the circut braker think a 30amp is ok? never wired up one before.

well got my heater fixed, the fan on the motor was loose. tho 1st and 2nd speed's dont really blow any air,only 3rd will.

and still have yet to figure out why it wont shut off with the key.
got my temp tag's yesterday and my cluster is done and will have that back monday. he said eveything checked out beside's the amp gauge.
