Thanks for info Bob. Definitely a two person job

Question: replacing rubber and window guide on 65 mustang vent Windows. So after getting it out of door which was more of chore than I thought, and removing parts noticed the 4 rivets on one piece and two rivets on the bottom vent frame which I thought was securing the window guide. After removing rivets, it was obvious that it was not attached to window guide as there was no holes on the guide. So do I need to put rivets in those two holes as it does attach anything? Also it looks like I can use a regular rivet punch and forgo the 100.00 tool advertised by parts store. Is that possible? parts are on back order so I have some time before putting back together. Thanks for any advise.

I have 14's on my 65 with shelbydrop and it rubs when turning and hitting bumps. Although I don't consider it major rubbing, I am constantly thinking about it while driving. I am thinking of possibly returning to stock. I thought about putting 1/2 inch insulators on top of springs, but I am worried that spring could move? That's my two cents on Shelby drop.

Thanks for advice. I will probably start with cig lighter connection for constant 12v source.  I will use a test meter though so not to short anything out. It will be a simple stereo connect, no amplifiers, 6.5 ' kick panel speakers, and 2 small 3.5 in front dash. Has to be better than original AM with what looks to be original speaker??  I have changed mounting location from glove box and ordered TMI center console and will plug stereo in console.  I may change wiring that came with stereo as it looks to be very small I guess 18 ga.

Need a name on 65 red Convt is jon5014ren.

Local only coming Saturday. What time does bash start on Saturday.  Is it at hotel site.  Thanks

I have pair I took off of my 65 mustang convertible, but live in central Texas??

Sorry for double post. Thanks for advice all. Stripping went well primer done. Will paint this evening when it's cooler!  Yea from 101 to 95. Ha

In the middle of stripping valve covers on my 65 mustang conv. 289 c. Question is upon install with cork gaskets, do I need to put gasket sealant. If so on both sides of gasket?

Congrats. Enjoy the time. I retired in 2011 and unfortunately  after 8 months could not handle it. Been back to work ever since but good knowing I can quit any time I want. Also did not have my 65 mustang at the time.

Got my 65 mustang/289/3 speed back from alignment shop. After new front end rebuild, Shelby drop I thought I had wrong springs installed. After alignment, all turned out well. Drop was 3/4 inch. My concern was just exaggerated because with the wheels were out of castor bad and that caused the front end to have an exaggerated lowering. Anyway,  Alignment guy said he could not get a reading to start with but managed to get it aligned well.  thanks for all advise. New question is this: have Low cost front shocks as in KYB/Excel.  the new ride is much smoother and I am just weekend country road driver.  What would be the benefit of upgrading to Koni or Some other high powered brand?.  Would it make any major difference?

Ok- did i screw up! Completed a front suspension overhaul of my 65 Mustang/289/manual/PS. New open tracker uppers, Moog lowers, Moog springs, bushings and tie rods both side. Also did Shelby drop. When vehicle taken down off of jacks, car lowered 3 #%^* inches. The springs were standard replacement for 65 stand, but have a spring rate of 259. Did I mess up with putting to weak of a spring?  Car is now at an alignment shop and I will need to make a decision to replace springs before alignment.  Thanks for advice and go ahead a flame away.

Finished install of UCA/spring perch/springs and Shelby drop on passenger side of 65 mustang/289/3 speed. All went well except for seating of f spring on perch. About 1.25 inches from spring stop. Man I know what the answer is going to be, but is there a way to rotate spring clockwise without taking it all apart?  Thanks for any suggestions.
