Ford Mustang 1964 ½ - 1973 - How to Build & Modify

The Mustang is an automotive icon with more than two million cars built between 1964-1973. Mustangs, such as the Shelby GT350 and GT500, Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet and Boss 302 and 429 ruled the street, but many thousands of common six cylinder and small V-8 Mustangs hit the highways and byways as well.
These 40-plus-year-old cars use antiquated equipment that includes drum brakes, breaker point ignition systems, and 14-inch skinny steel wheels. The OEM running gear is obsolete by today's standards and all of these Mustangs can be transformed into high-performance street machines that can compete with late-model Mustangs.

While some owners choose to preserve their Mustangs through an original restoration, other owners have upgraded their Mustangs into true driving machines by installing aftermarket suspension, steering, and driveline technology.
Many owners have performed bolt-on upgrades that don't affect originality, while other owners have completed more extensive projects that modify and seriously upgrade these cars. Included in this book is information about installing a crate engine, big high-performance brake kits, coil-over shocks, tubular A-arms and so many other projects that increase performance by leaps and bounds.

From mild to wild, this book covers every component group of the car including engine, transmission, rear differential, front suspension, rear suspension, steering, chassis, electrics, interior, and more.
Following the information in this book, you can build a high-performance street car as well as a track car. In no other book will you find the information to comprehensively transform the classic Mustang into a car that performs with the best on the road today.

Das Ford Mustang Schrauberhandbuch - Alle Modelle (1964 ½-1970)

The classic Ford Mustang of the first three versions from 64 ½ to the 1970s is probably the most sought-after US classic in Germany. This Mustang repair manual is THE comprehensive restoration manual in German.

Step by step and with the help of almost a thousand photos, this repair manual explains everything from professional disassembly to reconditioning and painting to assembly.
All work on the body, chassis, engine, transmission, interior and fittings is described in detail - and because the object of this sample restoration is a 65 convertible, all steps for restoring the folding top and its mechanics are also included.

There are also instructions for building a rolling frame, a crash course in saddlery, a list of important contacts and registration tips.
Conclusion: This book, decent tools, a place to do some work - and of course a Mustang to fix it up - should be enough to make your dream of a pony car come true.
