Here are some more great pictures of the engine going in Jeremy Turner's (Maple Hill Restoration) '65 Mustang Convertible.  I just love looking at these.  It's cool to see a 200 cubic inch six detailed like this when you usually just see the V-8's.

1967 Mustang 390 Air Cleaner Assembly

1967 Mustang 390 Air Cleaner Assembly with Chrome Lid.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

We now have a beautiful reproduction of the 67 Mustang 390 GT Air Cleaner Assembly.  This is the style without the emissions control tube.

This Air Cleaner is an exact copy made from the original Ford Tooling.  It includes the correct base in the correct Ford Blue color and a beautifully chromed lid with the proper rubber seal.

While this air cleaner assembly is correct for the 67 390 and some early production 68 390 Mustangs, it is a fantastic stock appearing upgrade for the very restrictive 68-70 390 and 428 air cleaner assembly.

Our part number is EG-4971.  Click on the part number link or one of the pictures for the price and/or to order.

We also have the lid only - part number EG-4972.

Just the Details...1965 Mustang Convertible Restoration

Protecting the "insides" of the 1965 Mustang Convertible.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

If you been following along with our posts about Maple Hill Restoration's 1965 Mustang Convertible restoration, you are familiar with the great detail and time that has gone into this restoration.  As the Mustang continues to go together, we wanted to share one of Jeremy's projects to make the car as maintenance free and last as long as possible.

During the restoration, the insides of the panels and frame rails were extensively cleaned.  In order to protect these areas, a rustproofing substance was used.  The product used was Transtar 4423 Amber Rustproofing.  As you can see in the pictures, this product is sold in an aerosol can.

This product was chosen because it flows quite well into cracks and crevices, and then it dries to a waxy finish. You will notice that some extra, hidden holes were made to apply the product.  Again, I want to note that all of these areas were previously cleaned during the restoration.  For example, the inner rockers on the convertible were glassbeaded on the insides by gaining access by cutting the end "caps" off.  After cleaning, these "caps" were welded and finished.

Enjoy the pictures!
