Hello, I'm Zack, I'm from Athens, Alabama, I'm 17 years old, and I've been in love with classics for a few years now. I have just recently had the luck of purchasing my very own 1967 Mustang. She's a 6 cylinder, 3 speed manual car, and i've fallen completely in love with her. I'm not used to really using or navigating forums. I have very little mechanical knowledge and have met to local mechanics that are helping me and teaching me over the summer. It is my dream career to do something in the mechanic field and work with classic cars, still haven't decided on what though. Reason I'm here is because one of the mechanics told me to go look on the forums for a cheap way to convert to front disc brakes. He said instead of looking for a kit, someone may have found a cheaper way to use parts from a different car to convert to disc breaks, so if there is anyone who has done that, let me know.

I look forward to meeting lots of new friends to help out!

It was actually a chick who hit me 😂But I bet the chicks dig it!
unless teenage girls have changed a lot in 40+ I really suspect they could care less about the car.
why is a manual almost 70$?
They think it’s cool but i rarely drive it but it’s definitely the coolest car on campus
most definitely

Congrats on the Mustang. It sounds like you have some cool mechanics to show you the ropes. You can find the manual cheaper on Ebay.

To be honest, while actually having a manual is nice...it isn't critical(I don't have one myself, not even a Hayne's or Chilton's). Google and YouTube will answer just about any question you have....and if that fails, you can ask something more detailed here or on other forums. The key is asking the right questions.
I should probably start saying what I've done to the car before i joined the group. so far all we have done is replace the fuel pump, fuel filter, and water separator. Cleaned out the fuel line. And the tank and sending unit was junk, and we are currently working on patching the lip that holds the tank because it was rotted out and the previous owner justscrewed in pieces of license plates to patch it.
