Hello and welcome to the site,We can always use some more classics around here.That is a beautiful 64 1/2 you have there,It was a 64 1/2 D code Convertible that a friend of mines parents had when I was a kid that helped get me hooked on Mustangs. Hope to see you over in the classic section.

Hey Raider, I hear you,Chargers are very nice. That said as far as your fastback.Rot sadly is common on these cars,luckily just about every panel for your car is available. Are you willing and able to do your own welding? Paying others to do this can get very expensive very...

Hello and welcome So are you looking for some selling advice,repair advice, or a shoulder to lean on? You're not alone,These 40 plus year old cars are very challenging to say the least . I'm in the process of replacing cowls,floor support frame rails, toeboards,floor pans,seat...

Hi Paul, The fan speed switch on your controler works the fan,so the fan is not always turned on.As far as the heater core itself on earlier cars that stays hot all of the time but it doesn't flow into the pass compartment because the doors inside the heater box keep the hot air from...

Hello Paul, Ok first,I would try to see what's going on with the emergency flashers,I remember you had said that they were working? When you turn them on if the lights just stay on chances are that the actual flasher unit for them has gone bad. Ok, as far as a turn signal switch.I...

Hey, I honestly couldn't guess at this point,it's too early to tell.I just know what I have scheduled car work wise for people as well as for myself currently and this winter.So I wouldn't have a time frame as of yet.I also don't know if your car needs a full rewire or some smaller repairs...

Hey Ted, I like your 66 coupe. That's "Arcadian blue" Right?

Sounds awesome. Welcome to the site.I'm a big fan of drivers,I'd rather see rough looking ones on the road than pristine ones sitting behind closed garage doors. 22 mpg,I assume your car is a 6? I look foward to your posts.

Paul, what do I think? That's a 70's Motorcraft 2150...... It's a later copy of the Autolite 2100 that originally came on your car. They aren't the worst,but they are considered amongst Ford carb afficinado's to be a "Smog carb". So should I start looking through my Autolite 2100 cores...

Hello and welcome to the site, I also do work for people ,However I am a bit booked up right this second,but maybe later in the winter?.I'm a bit of a hike from Queens as well. Unfortunately I can't recommend any shops in the Queens/NYC Area. For the fun of it,if you feel like taking a look at...

Paul, How are you ? So the new carb is no good. Ok that said I can help you id what you have. Can you post or email me a picture? I have a bunch of original Autolite 2100's (The carbs that came on 2bbl early v8 Mustangs).I think I've mentioned this before But I build/rebuild original...

Hey Paul, I appreciate the compliment,Wiring isn't actually all that bad if you have time,patience,a wiring diagram, and a test light. As far as the painless wiring I do believe it does use newer fuses.As I said though I can't give you any further advice on them,as they really...

Regarding taking the car to a shop,every man has to know their limitations right? Advice when paying pros,do your research and make sure you're bringing the car to a reputable shop.This I see all of the time, I see people pay some $100 to repair a harness that cost $30 new and takes 5 minutes to...

Hi, I do and have done a ton of electrical work and rewiring on classic Mustangs. I have never used a painless kit although I know some people have with fine results. When I need to replace wiring (I'm in the process of completely rewiring a 66 coupe for somebody right now)I go with the repo...

The headlight switches do have a built circuit breaker,but it has nothing to do with turn signal function,at least not the issues you are having. So all lights work when turned on,including tailights? How about the brake lights? Horns are sort of simple they have one wire going into them it is...

Paul, Pictures cool. Ok, So that definately looks ugly.I've seen way better and I've seen way worse. The fiberglass portion looks realtively sound,however all of the metal portions are obviously shot.I spoke to the manufacturer of the repo boxes,they do not include,the heater core, The resistor...

Hey, I'm going to keep this short and sweet for starters or at least try? Anyhow. No horn and no signals..... Got it.First I have to ask why you are questioning the headlight switch. Pretend we know nothing about cars 1) When you turn the headlights on what happens? 2) when you have the key...

Ok first take deep breaths.Sadly old cars are Like old: houses,people, bread, etc.LOL The harder you look the more issues you are going to find.So at some point you have to stop looking,probing,digging deeper into the project.Until you get a handle on stuff. Seriously I say this because it is...

If you're going to do that,why not stick the molding piece in there while you're at it. If you use good silicone the molding won't go anywhere.Then it will look pretty until you get around to pulling it all out,down the road.

I'm a huge fan of saving money whenever I can, if your heater box isn't a total loss, You can fix it for a lot less than a new repo piece,even if it has cracks,etc. I've fixed some hideous ones over the years that you can't spot any issues once installed and most importantly they work great.Is...
