I just got my 66 coupe back from the body shop..wow..what a job they did! But now I have to put on all of the weather stripping..doors,trunk,hood. How hard is this or should I take it to a pro?   'sneese'

You should be able to install the weather stripping yourself. It really is pretty straight forward. Just buy it from a reputable Mustang supplier and use the good 3M weather-strip adhesive and you should be fine.

I've got all the stuff to do it..just waiting for a little warmer weather! They took all the old stripping off to paint, I just didn't know how to put it on where there are no ridges to glue it to. Thanks guys.

Nothing says "Late 60's/Early 70's" like a good pair of shackles on the leaf springs! 'lool' It looks like the paint job turned out nice.

Yep, either shackles or the big bad air shocks were cool "back in the day". 'duh

When I bought my Mach, it had 15"x10" aluminum slots on the rear with M/T M60-15s with air shocks and a 150 pounds of air in them to clear the tires. :shock: Talk about a Mustang that could not handle. I could not wait to get the air shocks off and put the NOS Magnums on in place of the aluminum slots.
