JC, I'll share some thoughts. The two piece braces that you currently have were technically called "Shock tower braces" Every Mustang left the factory with them. Export braces were called that because they were originaly designed for the Export Falcons to compete in the Monte Carlo rally...

is loading up the family Truckster for a couple of weeks vacation at the shore. I can't wait to cruise the beach in my 66 vert............................

Hey Jc just some randon thoughts for starters since you're new as you said you should buy A ford shop manual, Not A Chilton or A haynes. They are available in repo form or digital download form. This would serve you well and tell you things like how to check the front end and such. To correct...

Hey, I have a ton of thoughts on suspension for the early cars. I can and will definitely give you some ideas that have worked for me over the years. For right now I have to keep it simple because I don't have much time,but I will add more later. For starters you can absolutely add the quick...

1989 LX Convertible 5.0 Auto Hey all, This car belongs to my parents, It currently lives down at the Jersey shore.It's their beach cruiser, so it sees very little mileage. It has been sitting for a while,it's not currently registered or being driven although it does run and drive,it's a project...

Hi, As Mike said, Mustangs don't exactly have removable frames. When you say the frame is rotted front to back My thought and guess is that your car has rotted inner rocker rails,torque boxes, and floor pans? If that's the case you would need to buy them and weld or have them welded in...

is selling an 89 LX 5.0 Convertible................

Hi, I think the first helpful step would be to find the fifth digit of the vin ,That will help give a starting point. For what it's worth the engine in the photo is from the FE Family. So it's going to be something like a 390,428,etc. 429 engines were a different family and it's definitely...

Hey, I received your P/M. I've blown up and built a few c4's over the years.However I am a bit rusty at the moment on the shift lever seal, So I will do some research and get back to you on that. As far as the tailshaft leak, I've never had much luck with JB Weld,but I know guys that swear...

Sent a 66 vert off to it's new owner in Germany (Finally).........Last night.

I guess it would depend on what needs to be done exactly. If you'd like his contact info let me know.

Hello and welcome. I know a guy who works out of his home,he's not cheap but he's great with the foxes. That said it might be a hike but if you feel like bringing the car up to northern Westchester county let me know.

Hey, That's a great looking car you have there,Congrats. I'd love to hear more about it, I assume it's a 8 cylinder,is it a 289 ,390,etc? I love the deluxe interior. Does that have an overhead console as well? Be gentle on those front hard seat backs they are made of unobtainium $$$$$$.LOL

Thanks all, for the words of encouragement. As I said I know it will take a long time ,but hey it gives me something to do. So I did a little digging around at Carlisle( Man I love it there) and I brought a few things home for this project. Someone out there must have bought all of these...

Jeeps loaded. Heading out to Carlisle at 4 a.m. Tomorrow,I hope the shopping is good and the weather even better(fingers crossed). I need some hipo Parts........I hope I get lucky

is starting to cram parts and supplies into the Jeep for the pilgrimage out to Carlisle. I hope it isn't going to rain (fingers crossed).......

Ummm, If it rains nobody would go, so there would be no point in going then. Trust me Carlisle in the rain, sucks. I'm praying for good weather.

Hey, I know it's not a 71-73 or A Grande. But I feel you should take a roadtrip to look at this. Pending a quickie inspection if this car isn't completely rotted out underneath,This is a screaming buy. If he's at all negotiable even if it has some rot, I still think it might be worth it. 70...

I wanted to post this so that you would honestly believe me when I tell you , you don't have the most rotted Mustang in the neighborhood.LOL. This picture was just taken. I'd start a build thread but it would be very boring(not many updates) as I hope to have this done in time to drive it to my...
