I have been considering installing a car alarm on my GT/CS. Hooking the open door sensors to the door light switches and maybe a start interrupt, something simple to keep the stupid thieves at bay. Just curious how many if any of you have alarms on your classic cars.

I'm in need of a set of trunk rods. The rods I have no longer hold up my lid. Not even barely. Does anyone have an extra pair lying around I could purchase from them?

A colleague of mine is looking to purchase a 72 Mustang convertible located in Las Vegas. Is there anyone out that way that is willing to take a look for me?

My 351W dip stick has a problem. At first I thought I might have burned a bunch of oil during break in. So I added oil until it appeared on my dip stick. Hasn't used any since. Just because I have been wondering, tonight my car got it's first oil change at 117 miles. Fired it up to fill the...

I installed the front grill and it went in perfectly. I can't figure out if I'm missing something at the top outside corners. There is a mounting tab at the wide grill molding but I don't have anything on the grill that matches to it. Is there supposed to be something on the grill to connect...

Just now to a big question. Side stripes or not? Just curious what everyone else thinks. Here are two pictures 1. With (My prototype) 2. Without (My GT/CS) Thanks All Cheers

Today was a milestone day. My GT/CS took it's first run on it's own power in the last twenty five years today. I drove it around the block. Up to about 35 and through the first 3 gears. Runs great and no weird noises, brakes don't pull and I even got the steering close enough it goes fairly...

I've have had this tool in my box for years and I still don't know what it is. I found it at a Lincoln Mercury dealership that went out of business about 25 years ago. Have any of you seen one of these before? Do any of you have other obscure tools that nobody has been able to figure out?

I am installing a A/C system in my car. This requires changing the two groove crank pulley to a three groove pulley. The three groove pulley is approximately 1/2" larger diameter than the two groove crank pulley. This makes the water pump pulley to large, hitting the new crank shaft pulley...

Happy Thanksgiving all. Can someone tell me what the measurements are for the mounting bolt/screw that holds the shoulder harness/belt in place. The headliner is in and I thought it would be easy to find the holes. Wrong. Measurements from the headliner seam and from the beltline up to bolt...

I just put this coupe on E-bay last night for a friend of mines Mother. My friend passed away and left this car behind in storage. It's been there a long time It is located at S&R Boat and RV Storage in San Antonio. E-bay add is...

I've met my newest "beats the heck out of me, I'm stumped" crossroads in my restoration. I removed the rollers from the quarter window frames to get the frames re-chromed. Superior chrome here in Houston did a great job. Now as I'm putting the windows and frames back together I need to figure...

I'm getting ready to reinstall my side, wind wing and quarter windows. Do any of you have any outstanding articles that will make this job a breeze. Please email to [email protected] if you do. Thanks in advance Bill

Removal 1. Disconnect the battery ground cable from the battery. 2. Insert the ignition key in the switch. 3. Turn the switch to the accessory position (turn the key counterclockwise). 4. Insert a wire pin (paperclip works well) in the hole in the ignition switch. 5. Slightly depress the...

Can someone tell me the secret to removing the lock barrel from the ignition switch? I know I have to insert a paperclip into the small hole but where from there? What does the wire push on or engage to release the locking mechanism?

Trying to install an after market instrument panel bezel today and ran into a small problem. I couldn't get the original nut to twist onto the screw post located on the right hand side of the bezel. It didn't have a nut on it when I got it. Does anyone know if it was supposed to have a nut and...

Can someone post a photo of an emergency brake switch (parking brake warning light) that is installed. I never removed one from the car but I now have a wire to connect to it. (came in the new harness). I am assuming it lights the pony in the center of the dash bezel. I'm just curious where it...

Do any of you have an extra set of upper and lower radiator mounts lying around?

Apologize up front if I missed it, but I did a search and couldn't find it. Does anyone know how many amps a set of Marchals pulls? I'm in the process of installing my painless wiring harness and they recommended I use the in system aux relay for the fog lights. I wanted to know how many amps...

I'm having all kinds of fun putting my car back together. I'm not sure what size rivets to use to re-install the dash vin.?? Does it matter? On the door tag, I have the right rivets but don't know how to install them either. It almost looks like I have to hold them in place and tap them with a...
