Nevermind, don't have to sell it now  :)

Thanks!  Yeah, I didn't get much sleep that night, got up and spent a few more hours with my budget spreadsheet and found that I'd made a math mistake in my favor, so I don't have to sell it for now (and  hopefully not for years to come).  Its been in the family for over 10 years and there are a lot of hours and memories tied up in it  :)

Hello everyone, I've been on other Mustang forums, but thought I should join this one since my only current Mustang is a 69 vert.  Its been in the family around 10 years, I just bought it from my brother after he and my dad worked on it for several years. I had an unfortunate engine fire in it around October and just got it back from the shop a couple of days ago.  I have a few issues right now (mostly something with a head I believe, it smokes randomly, usually after letting off from acceleration, its white and I think its valves).  Here she is, I've named her Angie after the song and a red-haired girl I knew in school.
 
 

You'd spend twice what its worth to bring that one back.

I've bought 2 of the Holley refurb 650s with electric choke directly from Holley on ebay for less than $300 each, I have one on a 335/hp mildly built 289 the other on my stock 69 351W.  Both sitting on Weiand Stealth intakes. So far I love them.

Not really. A quick Google search turned up some '65-'68 snaps but no '69s. I would imagine they are almost identical. There seems to 2 styles, a rivet-style that is crimped on and one that uses a threaded shaft and a nut.
 
I remember buying some snaps for a pickup tonneau cover back in the '90 so I know they're available from upholstery and auto shops, too.

My car is nearly 100% done, just finishing a few cosmetics, but the boot won't snap to the snaps on the interior panels.  The snaps have a phillips head screw which prevents the mail snap on the cover from mating.  Can someone point me to a snap replacement kit?

I think you have the wrong screws. As I recall, the screw heads have to seat down in the socket far enough to allow the rivet portion of the head to clear the screw head. I think that Dot was the maker of the originals but they could have been made by Rau. Regardless, I think your problem is the incorrect screw.   Dave R.

Here's the cleaned up engine bay.  Looks better than it used to as well, cleaned up and painted the bay, core-support, even the horns. Everything looks nice and fresh.  All new wiring as well.
