    For Sale 1967 Mustang Coupe

    How cool!! One of my biggest regrets in my life is not using Val's 67 Fastback at our wedding. I was to afraid of someone using shaving cream on her new paint. Ready for this. We left our wedding in a 1977 Cordoba with the luxurious "Corinthian leather" look alike seats. Thanks Ricardo...

    Aircraft Quiz

    The first 20 I could figure out the country so to speak. The last 20 I started throwing darts at the wall...... Aircraft I had never heard of and countries that I did know could build one! Rob

    1968 No Dome light

    Ahh, ole knower of all that is Mustang!!! New one for me! The "interior" lighting group was a check mark? Maybe a lazy plant worker? Came down the line and the dome light bin was empty? Rob

    1968 17 Inch Wheel Measurements

    Great articles. Again, as Marty said, I think the lower profile tires will hurt the ride. But if that is not a concern these articles show you some bigger wheel possibilities. All about the backspacing and the diameter of the tire. Rob

    1968 17 Inch Wheel Measurements

    +1 to Marty! I would never go over 15 inch myself because I am an old geezer. There are some 16 inch selections that could work. Any tire over 25 inches in diameter starts trouble with the fender openings unless you jack it up like a 4 x 4! Personally I like a lowered look that has tires...

    . Triple "B's" Garage

    Roller cam and lifters plus roller rockers. ABSOLUTELY! Better vacuum signal and more power. Downside is cost, but what the heck, you only live once!! I would buy the heads only and shop for the rest. I would like to help!! I like to spend other peoples money. Especially after I burned...

    . Triple "B's" Garage

    James, The top end kit was enticing, but it came with stuff we did not want and stuff we did. I am a big fan of the Comp Cams Xtreme Energy cams to get good power and keep the vacuum signal with a manageable idle. As this was a 4 speed car I went for a slightly more aggressive cam. He has an...

    1968 What should I save from junk GT/CS

    The hood lock receptacles. The hood locks. Tail light panel and the wiring harness from front to back as you mentioned. The fog light switch and fog light resistor mounted on the fuse box. You mention that it has a 9 inch rear end. If so and it was a J code then it must have had the GT...

    Dad, Full time for me is about 4 hours a day! On a good day maybe 5 or 6. Makes it manageable and as long as I turn it off in the Summer, your son is very happy! But in the Winter I am lost without a project to tinker on!! Rob

    Look at what wandered into Rob’s shop! This is a Superformance A/C Cobra that is built in South Africa. Superformance is the premier builder of A/C Cobra kits and the car is faithful to the dimensions of the original. They are so nice that Carroll Shelby has allowed them to be licensed under...

    . Triple "B's" Garage

    New bullet in the 1967 Fairlane 4 speed car. Runs awesome and makes great power. It will get this 600 CFM vacuum secondary Holley replace by a dual inlet double pump mechanical secondary Holley carb shortly. Still a couple quirks to work out. Rob
