Yes, I have a set installed on my 67. I like the instrument with white faces. At night it looks pretty cool. Easy to install. You have to make minor alterations to your guages.

I purchased some motor mounts from scottdrake and sure enough they were for a convertable and they would not take them back stating I had modified my frame mounts. I also purchased a thermostat housing and that cracked while installing. So I wish you luck from this company. then again it could be just me.

I have just finished restoring a 66 coupe.Probably 70% of the parts I bought were Scott Drake.Most of the stuff was very good,some other stuff didn't fit so well.I've found the small mouldings that go around the grill opening and along the front edge of the hood are very tough to get to fit like the original parts.This stuff is very easy to bend though so that may be part of the problem.Overall I'd say his stuff is pretty good.Weatherstripping and back up lights ,parking lights and any mechanical parts I got were all probably better quality than the original ford parts......Rob do you ever take that car out to any shows? I'm just around the corner from you and I have never seen your car at any of the local cruises.

scott drakes is just a few miles from my hometown in ca. and there is NPD near by as well. if you were to buy from them they are a lil bit more expensive than others. however, i bought a few things from NPD that was cheaper and they all had scott drake name on them. i think scott drake is one of the biggest old mustang manufacturer. my friend from college worked there and they do actually make parts there before they package them.

so i would guess if you bought anything from most other places, your really buying something from somebody that bought from scott drakes.

oh yea, when you go there there is a business price and a personal price.
