65 K Code Undercarrige detailing

1st Official Post

    Hi guys


    Where can i get inforation on detailing for a 1965 K Code

    built in San Jose?

    Every now and then i see pictures from you guys or others

    with paint marks (grease markings) on leaf springs, drive

    shaft etc. But from where do you know that it was done that way?

    All though the Mustang was built millions of times after

    40 years there is no detailed information or book for it right?


    Thanks Jerry

    Jerry, The 289 High Permormance Mustang book, available from this site, has a fair amount of information that you are seeking. Purchasing the book also helps to keep this site going. The book also has information regarding the high performance 289 Mustang that you do not generally find anywhere else. The book is in its fourth edition and includes a registry of our unique vehicles.

    From sites like this and others focused on Concours Restorations. IMHO its difficult to put everything in a book since we are learning and finding new info every week. Also if many of the markings were put into printed form most would just copy those (rather than discuss and learn all the variables) and we would have even more of the cars looking like a cookie cutter of the other. And that is no fun IMHO to look at or see at a show.


    Remember when you car was built is as important as where your car was built. At that particular plant and year the floor pans could be one of two different colors for a start.


    And finally please don't add all the paint daubs and markings on the car unless your going to do all the rest correctly. Nothing more disappointing IMHO to see everything marked up like a circus only to notice that brackets or hood hinges(for example) are not the correct finish. You get the idea ;)

    That is absolutely correct what you say.

    Like i said i hope to get lots of new stuff from

    the book and the rest i hope to get the answers

    from you guys.


    Where can i see pictures of your car do you have a site?

    Would love to see how you did yours.


    Thanks Jerry

    I AGREE completely, and prefer the clean look myself for most cars, especially drivers.
