I have a new Pro 5.0 shifter for a Tremec 3550 that I would make some one a good deal on if they would need it.

Auto City Classics, FedEX, and my buddy Jim came through again.  Rear window glass was delivered a day early and Jim helped me get them installed.  Can't say enough about the service from Auto City Classics, they admitted they made an error and fixed it immediately.  Can ask for more that that.

Good News & Bad!!

Got 6 of 8 pieces of glass installed today.  The Quarter window glass was not correct.  Contacted Auto City Classic, they pulled up my order to find the Quarter glass they shipped was not correct.  Shipping the correct pieces today,  GREAT service from Auto City Classics.

Asphalt based sound deadeners will smell like tar when they get hot.  Use a butyl based like Quadmat no odor.

I found this radiator article from when I updated my 66 Coupe.

1964-1966 Mustang Radiator Conversion DIY
 By
“GearHeadPeter”
January 27, 2011
We all know that the radiators in our cars are not the best, especially if you have done any customization to the engine, which makes it prone to overheating.
What I have done, with the help of Rick Farr of Old Air Products and Griffin Radiators is convert my older 16” radiator to a 24” radiator with dual 2800 cfm fans. My conversion was for a 65 fastback with 4-speed, and Old Air Products R134a AC system.
Parts needed:
[list=1]
[*]Radiator ( manual 14-7-568BC-CXX or automatic XX-X-XXXXX-XXX)
[*]Dual 2800 cfm Fans (17-1523SA with sensor & harness 17-1523S, Condenser Fan Harness Kit 50­0101)
[*]Radiator and AC condenser Mounting kits (60-NPN)
[*]AC condenser – SuperKool High flow 24x16 in – if you have AC (11-1624)
[*]AC Drier (Black, Chrome or Natural aluminum finish) – if you have AC (21-323A)
[*]AC Drier bracket (Black or Chrome finish). There is an “IN” engraved on one side of the AC drier, and this faces the condenser (front of the car) – if you have AC. (41-0322)
[*]Upper Radiator hose (2), filter (Gano or Tefba) to trap particles from your engine.
[*]New lower Radiator hose with steel inner spring to prevent hose collapse.
[*]64-66 Battery tray w/67 Hold downs (C5ZZ-10732-D)
[*]New custom made AC hoses from old system to new drier, from drier (IN) to lower condenser fitting, and new upper compressor hose to upper condenser fitting.
[*]Radiator fluid about 3 gallons. I used Evans NPG+ coolant for the much higher boiling point, with no corrosion properties as you do not use any water in the system. Follow the Evans directions for flushing your system before you start the conversion. I also used a 7 lb. rad

It is white, paid a guy to do body & paint.  Ray Charles would have done a better job. 



A lesson learned, it will work for not.

Not sure what it will be yet as it is sitting on ramps.  With coil over shocks front and rear it will be adjustable.

This is the stance I hope to end up with.

The front drive is a Front Runner from Vintage Air.  If is the shortest I could find, needed all the clearance for fan and radiator.

After 4 months my Doug's headers (D661Y) came in for my 1962 Falcon.



Hope I remember where they go ! !

I used Nu relic on my 66 coupe and they worked great.  If i were to do it over i would not spend the money for the quarter windows.  I agree with Bullet Bob, the switched that let you use the stock cranks are a must.
