If the car is painted, lots of blue tape. Other than that, patience and a tape measure. If you're lucky, it fits well and the gaps are good. If...
Sad, but read these all and have to add to it: Growing up my dad was working all the time. In and out of state, big construction jobs. If home,...
Simple, easy thought; 86-93 Mustang Convertible motor mount. Ford made them beefier because the verts were the heaviest fox body platform. Even...
I don't know where you are in Socal, but try CW Moss in Orange, or Early Ford Store in San Dimas. Dennis Carpenter makes the shackle stuff for the...
The 35-36 guts fit in the 32 box. Bearings and bushings are all the same from 32-36. I'm not that computer smart, or I'd show some pictures of my...
From what I remember, the 80-86 Fox-body Mustang water pump would work in either rotation. It had an impeller design that worked that way because...
About 15 years ago I did something similar, and lowbuck. (I was 20 at the time) I used the throw out bearing fork and pivot from a toploader,...
Two things I was taught by a couple old timers:1) When the paint seems brittle and wants to crack while tightening stuff, heat it a little bit...
Augie Delgado lives not too far from you. Brea I think. He has a very streetable Nova with Kinsler stacks. I know he says the mpg sucks around...
Silly question, but why rush something that needs to be as perfect as possible? When things get rushed, $#!+ happens. I assume it is the same no...
Okay, I've read all of this. Now I think most people understand how I feel. Trust me, I see both sides of it. The being torqued, and the " been...
Back to car ideas, I'd lean the grille to match the louvers...easier said than done, but more symetrical
Sometimes it isn't about the money. Sure, it may take a ton of it, but it can be spent many ways. We have all seen cars with entirely too much...
United has their own tooling overseas. Haven't fit one yet, but heard they're pretty good. Brookville has their own tooling in Ohio. I have fit...
A buddy of mine ran alky needles and seats. Big orifice, theory being volume over pressure. With just the gravity feed he ran around town no...
Well crap, go out to the garage and work on my coupe, come back in and a lot has happened. I didn't want to post pictures mostly for steppin' on...
Let me tell you a story, and then give me some advice...or a swift beat down. I built a car for friend, and was pretty damn happy with how it...
I bet you the "stuffy" people in the building jumped when that throttle was cracked! Too cool that it was driving down the aisles. I'm glad it...
"Milliken" in Ontario, California. In the early 90's we had a full 1/4 marked off on Valley Blvd. Hot Rod even did an issue with some of the...
I worked in the repro parts business about 10 years ago...slddmatt is correct. If you can, find an original, even just to measure and compare. I...
From an ex Pomona resident, Shilo inn is a pretty safe bet. Heading West, there are a couple motels off the 10 Fwy. West Covina and Covina,...
