As some of you know since I sold the Shelby to Iceman302 (who is doing a GREAT JOB finishing her up by the way) I have a new little toy. I bought a nice little '67 coupe to romp around in and have some fun with.
...Check out the entire thread for the transformation

Restored coupes are going for 10-15k but that doesn't matter to me. I'm building this one to suit my needs.

Who do you think you are talking to? I have not sold a set of Ponys in my entire life.
Get your facts right before calling someone out like this.

As you can see nobody caught it was a joke and I can't see what is funny about what you said above.

actually your the only one who said anything....and actually i dont have a "strange" sense of humor
you seem to have an unnaturally "dry" sense of humor
but i apologized both above AND in the PM's you keep sending me.....so send me your addy and i'll bake some cookies for you
and to OP...sorry for the hijack....it wasnt meant to be, i saw an original member who i mistook for another.
one who sold me a set of rims that were super clean, and well...theres more to the story but he was a good guy

I hear what your say'n but once everything starts leaking or hoses are hitting or the ram bracket comes loose you'll think other wise!

Just installed headers, 3" exhaust with x-pipe, single chamber flows, and since I have not yet configured the entire rear suspension, I've installed dumps for now. Once I get the rear all dialed in and sway-bar mounted I will configure the back-half of the exhaust. The entire exhaust including used Hooker Competition headers cost me $110 and my time. Made with lightly used pipe left over from another car as well as the mufflers, and the X-pipe is new. Working on a budget here and doing well!

I would dump the stock power steering system pretty quickly if you plan on really using the car, ie open tracking. Otherwise, if the budget allows, I prefer the TCP kit.
Nice looking ride.

Thanks, the car will be going through a number of changes in the near future, and the PS system isn't that high on the list of priorities. We will see how well it holds up for now.
I also prefer the TCP setup to the other racks I've seen.
...I do wonder if I were to get a manual steering drag link and pitman arm, do I absolutely need to replace the power box? I've heard tales that the power box is actually more desirable, might have a better ratio, and possibly used by Shelby? ..any feedback is appreciated for those of you that might know.

Might be a better question on VMF. But I will inquire with some folks in the know.

I'm almost positive Shelby used a manual rack on
Manual cars. On 65-66 they used a diff pitman & idler arm to make the steering faster.
When you welded in your rear Maier pan/bar...... Did you put a blanket or something covering the gas tank? I've been worried about welding mine a little LOL.

Didn't use a blanket. I stitch-weld and never get things too hot and the gas tank wasn't an issue at all.

Works well, much more "control" in the rear. I am going to adjust the height (roll center) a bit and it should get even better.
