Elongating the existing holes is the only tedious part. My neighbor has a brand new plasma cutter for sale. Since I have to do BOTH SIDES, that would make cost of buying the machine to cut a hole HALF AS MUCH, right?

And if you do both cars, it is even less.
 

Merry Christmas to all my Mustang friends.

Well, according to Gargle Mops, total mileage from Atlantic Mine to Marysvill, Ks (Allan' place) to Pine Junction, CO (RV6's Place) to Montrose, CO (my place) to Bako (the bash) to Houston,TX (Glen and Steve and Coupe Daddy's Place.  And Dans brother, I think) and then back to Atlantic Mine, MI is a total of over 5600 miles.  Add in all the general running around everywhere (I know he did around 300 at the bash, I know I did) and it ain't hard to see just short of 6400 miles.
Hell of a  cruise, LT.  Proud of you and your very fine '65.  Everyone should strive to make their classic drive as sweet at your car.  Mine is decent but I will work hard to make it as fine as yours. 
 

You have to add my place in twice. He stopped in going to the bash and on the way home. That adds a couple hundred miles. Really enjoyed his company.
 

Inquiring minds want to know who took home the trophy on the plug changing contest?
 

i like the Galaxie if it will fit on there.
 

I have that rack on my 67 coupe. Has a 5.0 also. I like it going down the road, only troubles are in parking lots going slow. I had a 13-1/2 steering wheel on it, had to go to a 15" wheel. Just too hard to turn with the smaller wheel.
 

Mustang Steves law is in effect. 

i would check the eccentric cam. I had one come loose. Thought it was the fuel pump and replaced it to no avail.

That is quite a story. My car sat for 3 or4 years while life got in the way. (Weddings, grandkids), can't hardy imagine sitting for 34 years.

Listened to the video, it just might have enough cam for 6S6. Sounds healthy. 
 

I have the 69 mirrors on my 67 coupe. PO had them on when i bought the car. I will tell you that if you want to use the wing window, these mirrors will interfere. I did convert them to electric using this fellars guide.

There are two parts to his instructions, very detailed.
I didn't follow it to the letter, but used a switch from a 96 Exploder and they work nicely. 

 

The passenger side rear spring on my 67 groans and squeaks something terrible. 95% sure it is in the front mount. Pulled the bolt out and it looks good, but is dry. What is the best way to get it to shut up? Grease, anti seize, or something else.
(would be a bash thrash, but i will not be able to attend this year) Dang work getting in the way.

 

Happy Birthday BB. And many more
