No, the rear was a bolt in. The MustangII was just a rebodied Pinto. I use three different sets of wheels. My Cragar Truspokes, 14”, push the tires right to the edge of the fenders. The 14” Fairmont wheels require a 1” spacer to clear suspension components and then fit nicely underneath. The 15” Mustang police wheels with the race tires fit rea…[Read more]

Very nice. I like the new arrangement.

Yes, Jack. Remove the three at the grille and the three at the rear all the bolts under the fender and lift. I was doing it so often and some of those nuts were a bear to get to that I went with the rivet nuts. With a small impact all those bottom bolts are removed quite quickly.

I installed bushings so it would fit but the increased outer diameter made it impossible to slide on next to the bypass hose and get a clamp on it. I finally said screw it and pulled it all apart and ground part of the water pump…[Read more]

When you end up with the little photo, go to your gallery of uploaded photos. Once there click “edit” on the thumbnail photo. This then goes to a full screen photo with an edit box. Right click and a message box should pop up. From there click on “ save photo image”. Go back to your post and right click and “paste”. I have to do that about half…[Read more]

Local rad shop supplied it. Says it’s from mid ‘60’s Mustang. Mounting tabs worked out just right.
