Speedo cable routing for a 66 Mustang with a C-4

[Brian Gruber]

That was it! It worked! Yahoo!  Now I can download a pic to the 65-66 classic collection too.

Man you could eat off of that

[racedraper]

do you ever drive your car/?the under carriage is awsome, very detailed.should be able to route it with no problems, just make sure its away from the exhuast

[Brian Gruber]

The car has not been driven yet.  I have spent the last four years restoring this car to factory specs.  In the last four years I have had three kids and got my masters degree, so it has taken longer than I would like.  It will be on the road this summer.  Than I am selling it to finance the next project which will be more fun for me a restomod 67 fastback.  If you look on the pictures page I posted the car on the 65-66 group.  You can see the back corner of the 67 fastback.  I have already replaced the tailpanel, trunk floor quarters and outer wheel housings ion that car.  I am going to post another picture of my 66 shortly before the front sheetmetal.  My father owned a body shop when I was a kid.  He sold it and restored classic cars out of house as a second job.  He currently owns a 69 sportsroof, 69 Mach I, two 66 Coupes, a 67 convertible, a 65 fastback, a 56 T-bird and a 49 Ford.

That 50 is a sweet Ride!  I added pics to the 65-66 pictures of my 66 fastback Resto.  Check it out!  Your family has some serious cars.  Glad to see others enjoying cars.

When I grew up it was like a car show every weekend. We all went to my grandfathers.  He was in to the old cars and so were all 4 of his sons.  Then the rest of the family would show up.

[Jerry Baker]

[racedraper]

I cant what to get my wifes car done. I am trying to get it done by sept 14th ,our 10 year anniversery.It will be her gift, then it will be my turn to get a ride. Im thinking 69-70 fastback with a nice blower sticking out,mmmmmm

[Jerry Baker]

Sounds like a winner to me.  69 that is I like that mustang the most

[Brian Gruber]

Tough to beat those old trucks.  The new trucks do not hold a candle to the sweet body lines of those two.

I think is topic is getting out of subject but it's nice to see these classics too. Anyone interested to open a new "off topic forum" to talk about anything else than the Mustang?
Nice job on your restoration Groobes.

[Jerry Baker]

Yes your right ok back to the speedo cable.  Ok have you had any luck finding any thing on how it should run?

[Thierry]

I didn't mean to be a cop but maybe it would be good to open a new forum with various topics. I am also interested to know more about old trucks and other stuffs.

[Jerry Baker]

Yes maybe we do need a general forum for the bsing and showing off stuff other then Mustangs.   I think that might be good.

[Thierry]

Here you go. The off topic forum is open and can be seen here:

This way when someone asks help about a speedo cable routing and we feel like talking about our familly cars, the favourite song you heared at American Idol or where ever the discussion could go, we just invite the other to go to the other room
