Getting a title in NC

Guys I have a car that I need to title, but there are complication with the title. Back story; I bought the car 15 years ago with an open title, and I have the original title. Now here is where things get “fun”. The guy that I bought the car from bought it from the 2nd owner in 72′, then stuffed it in a barn never changing the title. Fast forward, I buy the car and the guy who’s name is on the title dies pretty much that same week or month. His family proceeds to fight over every…

How to mount a fan shroud?

Guys I bought a fan shroud from Davescuda and I’m looking to install it this weekend but I can’t find any specs/examples of how to mount the brackets to the radiator. I assume some type of cage nut, but I can’t find any examples/specs of what will fit the slots properly. If anybody can help me out here I’d appreciate it.

Car is a 65′ with the 22″ radiator.

Would you ride in Ken Blocks 65 Mustang?

Thought I’d link this if anybody likes the Gymkhana videos. This is Ken Blocks latest Gymkhana video with his mildly modified 65 Mustang, the “Hoonicorn”, version 2.0 going up hill. I think this version makes 1400 hp to all 4 wheels chugging methanol. I’d love to take a ride in it, but only on flat ground.

Leaf spring rebuild

I’m looking to do a small project on my car since I’m not yet emotionally ready to fork out a large sum of money for upholstery, I thought I would rebuild my leaf spring packs. I’ve searched here and didn’t find anything relevant, nor did I find any ready made kits for my car on line (65 New Yorker). What I did find was that Moog offers 2 piece bushings and Firm Feel shows 1 piece bushings to be available. Does anyone have any input about these two options? Where can I find the pads that go…

Wood workers, demolition experts?; I want to put a high explosives box in my Chrysler

Guys, I have had an old wooden “high explosives” box hanging out in my garage for the last 15 years and I got the idea to repair it now so that I can use it to carry/contain supplies for traveling (a quart of oil, trans fluid, paper towels, etc.). My problem is that the bottom has rotted out (before I got it) and there is some dry rot that I need to address, so I thought I would seek some advice from guys experienced with repairing wood.
My basic plan is to glue the finger joints together…

Anyone had a 3rd gen truck fuel leak?

Well I’m getting ready for a vacation coming up in a few weeks and out of nowhere my truck starts pouring fuel from somewhere around the pump assembly. It’s not an instant pour. No spray as soon as the key cycles or anything. The truck needs to run/drive for a little while to pool fuel around the assembly. The pump seems to run fine. Light tugs on the lines indicate they are securely attached. So before I drop the tank or pull the bed have any of you had to deal with this problem? A google…
