You’re on an irreverent, profane, provocative messageboard focused on a university from Texas. Its current motto is “a place for broken brained assholes.”
I suggest that if you’re looking for progressive, inclusive, politically correct, intellectually stimulating discourse, you are in the wrong place.
Dude's from Ohio, a veeeeeeery sensitive state apparently. They only burn the best couches, and sofas. Actually scratch that, they only burn Fooooo-tons....

What kind of stereo systems are they putting in 1965 Mustangs that don’t have to cut up the dash? Suggested blue tooth heads/compatible amps/speakers? What are his customers doing to preserve vintage look but get modern performance? Specifics as to components is key here.There are some companies making radios that look just like an old 65 mustang radio, but have all the bluetooth capabilities built in. The head unit and knobs are separate and connected with jacks so you can fit it in the dash slot and have the knobs in the correct locations or it's a vehicle specific model with fixed knobs on the radio body.

I'm also putting a newer console in, which is 60s-ish looking but admittedly a compromise. But dammit, I gotta have somewhere to put the coffee.
I've been designing a center console for about 2 years now. It will for damn sure have a cup holder somehow. There are these very cool hidden cup holder rings. They pop out of a hidden slot and are a stainless steel ring that will go away when you want the old school no cup holder look.

He says all the classic guys are going with a blue tooth receiver and amp mounted under the dash or glove box and keeping some sort of stock unit in the dash that never gets touched. Way easier.
Makes sense. Gives you the old school look with new school functionality with ear drum splitting sound !!

That's what I told him. If it ain't coke bottle green emanating from the cluster, it ain't my car.
He's an older fellow and he is brilliant with old cars. But the trade off is that he definitely veers off into, "Listen young buck, I know what I'm doing here" territory - which is fucking hilarious because I'm no longer some young buck. I haven't had occasion to go all "OK Boomer" on him, but we're dancing around it.
Yeah, if you're not doing concourse do what you like. I get where he's coming from, but that's frankly just old school mentality, and it's just not happening today. Just look what's rolling across the auction blocks at Mecums, Barret Jackson, etc.

I did thanks. The guy I'm using is resistant to using anything but white lights, so I was trying to use an angle of someone I know having used a specific product. I just told him to humor me and try the Mustang Project version. It's only $30, plus whatever he marks it up. We'll see what happens.
Now I need to upgrade the stereo without cutting up the dash. I hate the sound of the Classic Sound, whatever they are that fit the dash. I'm thinking about sticking the original back in the dash, then putting a modern head unit in the glove box and just running it by bluetooth from my phone. I really don't want to mess up the vintage look of the dash with a new head unit. But like I said, the modern head units that fit suck ass and I wanna rawk.
The green looks better than the white IMO. Has a more vintage look for my money.

Lighten up, Francis.
This is how it's done, and it only took 127 posts to put it on display... Surly is all about bad and tasteless humor not meant to be taken seriously. You;d think someone with as many posts and the WTB would realize that.

I agree with that last sentence 100%. At the end, disco became 1) ubiquitous and 2) awful. e.g. Sesame Street disco. Streisand disco. Disco duck. Fucking KISS made a disco song.
Zeppelin, and the Stones made disco-esque type tunes IMO. I think most groups had some type of disco tune in their songs during that era.

Do you have a link to to part or a part number?It was about 6 years ago. I bought em thru CJ's pony parts. They WERE a great parts supply place, but have been very spotty since COVID. Did you check out the thread on the Mustang site I mentioned ?

Sucks all around. I can’t imagine the rage I’d have if my daughter said those words to me.
Passion can’t be a substitute for the law however.Stupid, passion is only worse.

For you Mustang guys out there - Have any of you redone the instrument cluster with LEDs? I'm trying to maintain the original green look, but get a little more brightness. Any suggestions on changes you've made that you've liked?
In that same vein - are there any vintage Mustang forums you find helpful?
I bought the LED light bulb replacement and went with the coke bottle green. It's a nice upgrade, not game changing, but not difficult to do. Those old bulbs are not bright.
Vintage-mustang.com and allfordmustangs.com are 2 I've gone to from time to time. There's a thread about LED instrument panel bulbs on the front page at vintage-mustang now.

Hopefully, pops fires a round through his ear hole. POS knew he was trying to intimidate young girls, even going so far to reach them from behind the counter.
Wait… he was trying to do a reach around ?

I lived through it and never understood the hate. There’s shitty music in all genres and disco certainly had its share, but some of it is damn good.
Some yeah, but a shitload of really really bad music for a genre overall.

Ya ya ya everyone hates disco. Meanwhile whenever a good disco song plays, everyone jumps up and dances. It’s the late ridiculous disco that destroyed the genre.
Everyone that’s a girl yeah…..dragging their BFs or husbands onto the dance floor.

Has Brady carried his team thru his feet, and won games on his play thru incredible passes or simply played damned smart thru a system at NE, and has been surrounded by strong squads ?
I think he’s about the greatest over a career, but I think back on QB’s who won multiple games thru their amazing Athletic abilities.
I still think I’d pick a healthy Montana over Brady in a 2 minute drill. Call me crazy.

A pox on Nixons soul for ever going there, and "opening" them to the west. Nixon just gave them the international fanfare to wave their friendly little flag to the rest of the world, laughing all the time.
