Nah, a '66 2+2 Mustang build crosses a lot of lines and generations. Just label it OT so the wankers can avert their eyes.

Now, get rid of that damn 914 metal sign and get yourself some American garage art......

So, did you get the car yet?
I , for one, would like to see you do a classic test and burn some of those back tires off while you decide what to do to the car..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Did you sell off your welder???
Get the best you can afford if you plan to seem weld it all again....geez.

I've got a 66 coupe with a modified 302...next will be a fastback like yours and then a convertible, for a 1966 Ford Mustang trifecta!

I WILL get that cutout to ya.

I'm set to pick up the Mustang today. I need some butt time in it and to crawl underneath it before I commit to anything. It's a near 50 year old car & tho it looks nice.......
No seam welding but I well may need a welder to fix/mod it so that is worth looking into. I'll see if CL can come thru again.

Not an auspicious start for the Mustang's arrival at its new home.

The car ran out of gas in my driveway as we rolled down to the street for a test run.!!!
The shifter was like stirring a bowl of oatmeal...now that is familiar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I stalled the sumbitch with a 3rd gear start then no fire in the motor.......the accelerator pump in the unidentifiable carb needed to be floored to squirt........grrrrrrrr
The first hard brake application pulled HARD to the left.
The clutch pedal goes over-center for a take up that makes it impossible to be smooth.
The huge steering wheel is over boosted (power steering) and bout 10 turns lock to lock.
The pedal/seat/wheel relationship is non-user-friendly.
I finally got it home ......cussin' under my breath and a storm blew in with rain. wind and all that shit........AUGGH.
That gave me some time to look at the extra new parts from the box......including a set of gas charged KYB shocks... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hitfan[1].gif)....just take me now, Lord.
New belts/hoses/alternator/PS pump/battery/radiator....the guy was trying.

I just turned of the lights in the garage & went to bed. Seduced by a pretty face, I sez to meself.....

The good news:

The brakes cleaned themselves up with use. The PO drove the car maybe 200 miles in his 18 months of ownership (I could see why) and was working on it.


The first thing it NEEDS is a new carb......a Holley 4150...Baxter's here I come.
The POS on there has no markings or adjustments.......some kind smog rig from the 70s, me thinks.....but the motor sounds good & oil pressure is OK.
A clutch adjustment.
A small steering wheel.

These will make the SOB drivable.
The weather is gonna be nice in a day or two.
I'm sure my attitude will improve.
Right now, I'm so far down everything looks up to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Too big.

Now lookin' at the 600 cfm 4160 which is also too big, but......that's as small as Holley offers. I knew from Holleys 40 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I also knew from too much carb.......
Prolly have to re-learn everything to do with V8s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

BTW, Rich, got the sign off the shop and it's ready to go (not too worse for wear after hanging there for 10-12 years.) soon as I wrap it with cardboard. Gimme an address and I'll ship next week.

JP.. I believe I have a Holley 4150 if you are interested and you can wait a week until I get home. It was on the 69 Camaro I just bought off my brother. He bought it a few years ago and it never left the garage. $200 obo if your interested. I have the original box and all the paperwork aswell. I am not using it because I bought a 79 z28 to pull the 350 and replace the 305. if interested let me know and ill get you photos. Bob
