  1. I have a Ford FMX transmission. It is currently in a 1969 mustang but will be pulled this week to replace with a manual valve body c6. Their is nothing wrong with the trans that I know of. I purchased the car a year ago and it had a tired 302 in front of it. I built a 351 and when I installed it i installed a new torque convertor and changed the filter and fluid. Everything seemed fine inside when that was done. It still shifts fine and am only pulling it to install a race trans. It would be good as a replacement or a parts trans. Many FMX parts are hard to come by the Neutral safety alone is worth 100.00


  2. Well other then a few cosmetic touch ups and a few other little things the car is done. I surprised myself with what it looks like compared to a few short months ago. Runs like a dream and looks great. I need to address the steering which has some play at the box on the column side. Probably a worn out manual steering box. If that is the case I will probably swap in a power steering box and pump. But my wife finally got to take it for its first spin today. She came back smelling of burnt rubber and smiling ear to ear. I guess I did an ok job on my first classic mustang.


  3. Ok I did some research today and found that 70 coupes had a chrome molding with a black stripe. This would be perfect. I found a set that has 3 of the 4 pieces and would need rechromed. The problem is no one makes it. Also I am not sure how to make it clip in. Does anyone have this trim? Anyone seen how it clips in?


  4. I got the car back from the painter today and am pleased except for one thing. We had decided to do away with the wide black trim that was on the rear window. I like the look without it but there is quite a bit of space between the rubber holding the glass and the steel around it. It makes it look somewhat sloppy. I am wondering if anyone has seen or heard of any chrome trim that can be made to fit. Also thinking of maybe filling it with black urethane or some bulb shaped rubber to fill it in with. I will take pictures in the morning just looking for input.


  5. I have several pieces of weather striping that I am not sure where it goes or how it attatches. If someone can let me know I would appreciate it. I will link to the parts below.
