You can buy these trim pieces as a set or separately. |
I've been restoring and modifying a 1966 Ford Mustang Restomod with engine, suspension, and brake upgrades, and new paint and interior.
I'm also fixing up a former-road-racer, supercharged 2001 Bullitt Mustang.
And my '57 Chevy Bel Air needs just about everything.
My blog chronicles my mods and repairs, road trips, car shows, and new stuff along the way!

Slip Sliding Away
A quick little update—more of a tip actually. One problem I was having on the '66 was that the pedal pads on the clutch and brake pedals would slip off. I tried gluing them on, and saw evidence that a previous owner tried the same thing, but to no avail. The only way I've found to solve this issue for stock-style pedal pads is to install the stainless trim rings around the pedals.
These trim pieces have a series of metal tabs that wrap around the back side of the pedal plate using a screwdriver for leverage to help bend them. I actually think they look better too!

Did I See What I Thought I Saw?
For years I've been making the drive between North Carolina and Virginia for business and personal trips. On I-95 North near Ashland as I come around the bend in the road, and in a clearing to my right, is some sort of Mustang advertisement. I'm never able to get a photo of it—until just recently.
It would be nicer if everything was closer to the road, but a gearhead is able to spot what's going on across the clearing. :)
Old Dominion Mustang/Camaro has quite a billboard on I-95! |
