My 9" rear has a hole near the vent lines. Can anybody tell me what that hole is for? It's the one with a plug that the arrow is pointing to.

I won the bid on this Marchal light on e-bay a while back. I have one original light that has a few rust spots on the back side of the chrome. The chrome on this light was better than the chrome on my good light. The lens is whats grabbing me. I kind of like the look of this 658 and think it...

Hey Y'all I'm starting to research paint for my beauty. Alcapulco Blue of course! Can any of you tell me what the going price for a gallon of PPG and the clearcoat to go with it are? www.ppgcarpaint shows $206 per gallon and my body shop guy was telling me $279. Hope your all having a great...

Can any of you tell me how the Mustang emblem is attached to the rear deck lid? And how to get it off without messing it up? (the emblem or the deck lid) Thanks

Is there a secret to taking leaf springs apart? Should I just outsource it, pick it up for blasting and clean-up and then have them reassemble. Just looking for opinions.

Hey Yall, I got my car back yesterday from the shop who primed it for me. They ended up using two gallons. How much body sealer did you guys who went ground up finally end up needing for your cars. The body shop will buy it at their price and add to my initial invoice. He will only do it now...

I have been working on the taillights for a while now trying to get the bulbs out without ruining the sockets. Patience, liquid wrench, patience, a small screw driver, patience, pliers, patience and patience were my tools. I finally got them all out today but now have a new task. How do I...

Picked my car up today and I am very happy with the results. One thing is for sure, it doesn't leave anything covered. I found quite a few unkown spots of damage and previous body work. Joy!! The price was $1974.50 and included stripping and spraying rust inhibitor on the following items: 1...

Happy Easter Y'all Hope the old bunny left you something good. My kids had the egg round-up finished before I even got out of bed. lol

I'm looking into putting a 9" rear end in my Mustang to keep from ruining the original. I estimate around 350 horses with the 351w I am installing which I believe is probably to much for the stock 8" rear. Do any of you know which model Ford cars have rear ends that will fit my application? If...

I have been dipping my parts in the strippers solution. The de-rusting solution works great. It does slightly darken the metal but takes all the rust away. On half painted parts it leaves the paint intact. Now that I have bare metal parts, I don't know what to use to protect them from rusting...

This guy has kind of a neat website with links to a bunch of old Mustang commercials one of which is the GT/CS It's a shame to see any car sitting in saltwater. I wonder how long that car lasted? http://www.gt350h.com/

Went to the local pick-a-part and thought I would be able to find 351w alternator and power steering brackets. Nada! Does anyone have a parts car sitting around willling to part with these pieces?

My car came (to me) with a rectangular antenna base. I like the look of this base better than the round. Just curious how many other GT/CS's have a square base antenna and if it is also considered correct for our cars?

I'll be taking my car to the stripper this weekend, will let y'all know how it goes. He tells me he will have the car about a month. I'm starting to do the research on the correct paint codes for the interior and exterior of my car. Alcapulco Blue exterior and Standard Black interior. Can...

I found this on e-bay tonight. It appears these Marchalls have amber lenses. Mine are clear. I don't ever remember seeing anber lenses on anybodys cars. Do any of you have the amber lenses? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4528261013&category=10076

Heres another one I haven't figured out. The outside washers appear to be pressed together or something. They don't just come off. Am I missing something here on this one? How do I remove these?

One of the last few things I have to take off my car is the passenger door latch. Does anyone have a secret to breaking these large phillips screws loose? Another one that won't seem to come loose is the forward most phillips screw at the seal for the door channel on the passenger side. Thanks...

Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to remove these clips? I tried squeezing the prongs and that didn't appear to do it. The clip for the fuel line ended up popping out of the body leaving a slightly bent out hole. Thanks Bill
