New Mustang Radiator Supports

1965-66

Radiator Support

Lower Crossmember Attached

1967-68 Radiator Support

These new radiator supports just arrived. While we have not gotten any feedback yet on fit, they appear to be much nicer than the "standard" and cheaper radiator supports that we have. These supports include the lower front frame/crossmember piece attached. They are also made from new tooling. The metal is heavier and the stamping is much nicer than the others also.

1964 1/2 Mustang Coupe-2006 Catalog Cover Car

We were looking through some pictures and realized that we never posted any of the 2006 Virginia Classic Mustang cover car. This is a 1964 1/2 Mustang Coupe that is still in the possession of the original owner! The car was brought to Jeremy at Maple Hill Restoration, which is right down the road from our shop. The original owner wanted to restore it back to original condition (although it was better than original when it left Jeremy's shop!) It's equipped with a 260 engine and a 3 speed transmission. It's an early car with the generator, all of the 64 1/2 stuff, and those cool spinner hubcaps!

Enjoy the slideshow!

Mustang Complete Inner and Outer Rocker Panels

There has been lots of interest in sheet metal for those winter Mustang projects. Here is a brand new part: 1965-66 Convertible Complete Inner and Outer Rocker Panel Assembly. Just as the description says, this is the complete inner and outer rocker welded together.

It is sold as part number SM1123R and SM1123L.

We also have the 1967-68 versions of this part: SM1121R and SM1121L.

1967-68 Coupe and Fastback Complete Rocker Panel Assemblies are also available as part number SM1122R and SM1122L. Of course, the Coupes and Fastbacks do not have inner rocker panels like convertibles.

Mustang Distributor Rebuilds

Today's post is a plug for one of our long time customers, Chuck Barbero in California at Distributor Dynamics. Chuck does an absolutely fantastic job of rebuilding Ford distributors. You actually would not believe the difference a properly rebuilt distributor will make in your Mustang. He can rebuild your Ford distributor and set it up with points as original or install a Pertronix Ignitor.

Here are a few pictures of a distributor that Chuck recently rebuilt for us.

Another Cobra Oil Pan

OK-I'm on a "Cobra Oil Pan Kick." Since I posted the slideshow Wednesday about the restored pan, I thought that I would post some images of a "used and abused" Cobra Oil Pan. This is what one looks like after years of hard use and an engine coming apart. That original engine block happens to still be hanging around and will be put back into the car during the restoration. The oil pan is being restored now. I'll post some pictures when it is done.
