"Mornin' folks. I'm a new member and am happy to have found this BB. My wife bought me a 66 coupe for Father's Day. It's a project and I'm getting ready to dive into it: 289 with 208k on the clock, runs OK but the adolescent children of the previous owner have made a real mess of the body. Lot's of questions! Here are three:
Best shop manual? I've used Haynes/Clymers and have been nonplused. Are there better ones still available? Question #2: Aftermarket? Don't wanna start anything nasty here, but are their favorite suppliers and/or places to be avoided? Last question: I belong to a vintage motorcycle (XS11) listserv and enjoy it immensely. Are there other, favored Mustang BBs/listservs that are frequented by members of MustangWorks?
Sorry about all the bandwidth. Great to be back in a Pony!
