Great looking DD Uj-SPRT Please share more photos.

Hi there!

Sorry, I had lost contact with the forum.
I have been rearended... 
Than I moved from San Antonio to Dallas
Than I bought a new toy!!!

I now have an April 65 fastback GT (A)

Actually shell is naked, sanded, I replaced the upper and lower cowl vent, now drip rails, soon trunk floor...
I plan on going for Caspian blue
Than swapping everything from my 66:
- my beloved 302
- my T5 with hydraulic clutch (10-1/2”)
- my big 9” truetrack 3.50
- my Global West front end...

New to Dallas I’m looking for friends!
And I need some advice to go maybe for rack & pinion powered

Anyone close to Dallas?
I will have parts for cheap...
Coupe rear seat, windows, trunk lead, front grill, fog lights, new upper and lower control arms, new struts and much much more.
I have so many parts in double or triple!

Can I come say hi in Glen Rose?
Even if none of my 2 Mustang are actually running...

When is it best for me to come?
Where is it?

MP so I send my number

Looks like Tuttle is a 4 hour drive from here in Glenrose. Come on over. It’s always fun to meet folks from the forum.

already met you dude and I'm not in Tuttle but, 1200 miles north of there in northern michigan.....enjoy the bash
 

 
Yea, Josh, we have met........that’s what sleep deprivation will get ya. Wish y’all could have made it. The comment was ment for UJ!!

I made it!
:-)
I’m in paradise!!!

Ya, it was great meeting you Uj-SPRT at the hotel. With your zest for Mustangs, a true gearhead at heart, and a bit of sarcasm, I'm positive you'll fit right in with the group.

I managed to miss meeting you at the Bash, we will have to rectify that some time.

Wider radiator? Look at the header area at the top of the page. There is a FAQ section, one of the FAQ’s is how to install a wider radiator, all you need to know.

When you say console elbow cushions, do you mean the auxiliary consoles that fit on top of the stock console? All the major Mustang parts houses sell those: Steve’s Mustang Parts, CJ’s Pony Parts, Mustangs Unlimited.

I think traction bars have fallen in popularity because of the increased availability of higher tech rear springs. Right now 4 1/2 leaf springs seem to be popular, that 66 with 427 has a pair. Supposedly the 4 1/2’s control spring wrap and still give a good ride. Plus, you have to weld the front mount of the Traction Masters to the car, not everyone trusts their welding abilities for structural purposes.

There are usually more blue cars at a Bash. I will have to look at my pictures, but it is possible that red cars outnumbered blue cars which would be a first. The blue car guys say “red is boring, I want to be different” (like everyone else). Now I’m going to get flamed by the blue car guys. (My Fords are red, white, and teal)

Thank you so much for your picture!

I read the topic on radiators, I understand that there are 2 sizes bigger than the 17 (keeping both hoses on the RH)
A 21ish that can fit with just a bit of trimming of the battery tray and that doesn’t require to relocate the AC lines.
And a 24ish that requires a little bit more custom work.

Now I need to go play with my measuring tape under the hood... I’ll send pictures in the process.

This is how far we took my 65 FB down.

Uj,
If your quarter panels are able to be saved by all means save them.
I purchased two dy/maize quarterfor my vert both were nice but the lines and edges
are not as sharp as original Ford parts.
I will cut them up to repair my original quarters. You know the usual spots that need repair
(bottom of quarter between door and wheel opening/ bottom of quarter behind wheel opening)
Just a suggestion.
You are doing a great job  saving the fback.
Must have been a heartbreak when you were rear ended in the coupe
Good luck keep us posted
