Help!

I am replacing my radiator core support and top leading edge (sheet metal) of the passenger side fender apron is gone. Instead of buying the entire apron panel, maybe someone has a parts car? I just need the leading 2-3 inches from the radiator core support to the crumple bulge. Will pay for your time and efforts for thick American steel!

Thank you!

I would try Craig at:

Thanks MTS, but I am looking for the paint spec, ppg number or something to give the paint vendor to mix the paint. Their records don't go back that far!

Thanks!

Hello

Have an early 1965 mustang that is silver blue metallic, believe the paint code is Y? What would be the interior paint code to give the vendor to get the correct blue interior?

Thanks!

Hello!

I have a '65 non K fastback with black pony interior. The door panels seem very shiny in comparison to dash which is more of a semi gloss to flat finish. I want to repaint the doors, do I match the dash? What is a good spec? Can I do this from a can or mix the paint?

Thank you!

Help!

I am looking for a good quality rear passenger side quarter panel for my '65 fastback. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

I just spoke with Marti Auto Works. Several years ago, he reproduced the transmission tags with all the date codes etc. but demand fell off. There is interest to recreate the tags if he gets enough buyers. Feel free to add your request via the contact page of the Marti webpage at http://www.martiauto.com/contactus.cfm

What would be a good date code for the above Mustang? I found a tag

on a compressor that read Jan of 1964, would this be too early? Also,

anyone have some good photos to share so I may restore it properly?

Anyone restore their own, or just send it out and to who?

thank-you,

Will

Update:

I have tried several sources to purchase the correct paint, including Scott Drake to no avail. When I get someone on the phone to test spray the paint, they all agree it is no where close to the correct color. Mind you, I have also have tried mixing paint, but that was a mess. Sooooo, does anyone have an old can for sale???? Please?

thank-you,

Hello All:

I have a 1965 GT Fasback, non K. On a recent roadtrip via Route 66, the support for my fog lamps was broken. I purchased a replacement grill and it came black out of the box. Should the grill be a blue-gray color instead? If so, what is the correct paint spec?

thanks!

Varga,

By all means, do the car the way you like it! The Hipo exhaust will help a little in horsepower and you will note a pleasent sound in the exhaust note! Virginia Mustang, Tony Branda, et al make a bolt in H Pipe which will help the HP and equalize the exhaust note. Going a little bit further, you can purchase a bolt in dual exhaust kit for the best of HP / Exhaust sound out there! Personally I like the Flowmaster Stage II's. Nice rumble that evens out for the highway and you can still hear. If this is too much work, a reputable exhaust company can put it together for a couple of hundred bucks.<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Bob,

Your email is dead on the money! Thank-You for the information, this is the one email I have been waiting on and am now up and running.

THANK-YOU!!!

Cobra Automotive is asking $149.95 plus shipping for each brake drum. They are not OEM and require a spacer for the pilot hole.

Fred,

I would be interested in the aftermarket set you mentioned. PPrince I called to get the pricing. The brakes are definately 10"x2.5" with a 9" rearend. Maybe someone changed them out twenty years ago I don't know, but would like to keep the setup that's on the Pony. Maybe the extra brake will keep away from the soccer parents who can't let go of the cell phone!

thanks fo everyone's input!

AAAIIIIEEEE!!! They are $$$$$! Instead of holding a bake sale to raise funds, perhaps someone knows of a crossover to another Ford car where I can get the part cheaper, say from NAPA?

Thanks!

Hello!

My current set of 10"x2.5" rear drums are no longer servicable on my '65 Pony. Does anyone have a lead on a replacement set? Is there a crossover for the small bearing drum on a later make Ford that perhaps is still in production? Trying to stay away from the high dollar racing companies.

Thanks!
