    Does anyone know if the deluxe interior and GT/exterior decor group package show up on a Marti report? Also, does the exterior decor group or GT package include wheel well moldings? Are they 2 different packages or just different names? The fogs and the dreaded black taillight bezels. Nice...

    only 1 brake light!!!!

    Love the Satan pics, Amy. I bet Rob had to do the "cat" arch after that, I did. I thought of the signal switch, but just replaced it awhile back. All the turn signals and taillights work, so I was almost positive it had to be the stop switch. Here's another question for the experts. Would it...

    only 1 brake light!!!!

    I guess standing on my head, I didn't get the wires on the switch completely engaged, because I went in , had a brew, pondered the situation, went back out, stood on my head again and both are working now, who knows. Gotta love the classic cars. My wife said, "I don't know how or why you keep...

    If it doesn't work out with this guy, I have a friend who has been into mustangs forever and started his own restoration business in Grants Pass.

    1968 AOD Transmission

    Might check out mustang monthly online. They usually have pretty good tech articles. If memory serves correct, the '85 - '88 mustang aod trans are a fairly easy swap,(BIG IF). I'm sure someone on here has done it and can point out the little tricks to make it as easy as possible. Bret

    Finally got the drums and related hardware off 1 side. The disc backing plate bolts right up the '68 drum spindle. Pretty cool. Now I'm painting the calipers. This is going to be easier than I thought. Bret

    Check this out. The '68 drum spindle is the same as the '67 disc brake spindle. which means you don't have to mess with the upper or lower control arms, unless you need new ball joints. Here's the web site. I thought they were different...

    Kelsey hayes calipers

    J.Bart, Do yours have the plate that attaches to the outside of the caliper, it wraps around the opening on the outside where the pads are? The manual shows 2 small clips that attach at each end, but don't cover the entire opening. Looks like they(clips) put pressure on the pads or just a...

    Glad to hear everyone is ok. A couple dents are better than a caved in roof or worse. Hope you have a wood stove or fireplace. Sounds like you need Cory and Robert to hook you up with a garage. Bret

    Kelsey hayes calipers

    I'm in the process of rebuilding a set of '67 kelsey Hayes disc brake calipers and there is a plate that covers the disc pads with a screw on each end. My question is , are the 2 spring clips that are supposed to be attached to the inside of the plate really necessary or can the plate be...
