On The Cover: Jeff Billings' '67 Shelby tribute convertible is one of the best builds we've seen recently, so we felt Wes Duenkel's action photo was perfect for our "Best Builds" cover. In the upper corner, Jerry Heasley snapped the action shot of the new '08-1/2 Shelby GT500KR.

Best Builds
Stock or restomod? Vintage or Fox-body? Here are some ideas to build the Mustang of your dreams.

Renegade
At Florida State University, Renegade is the name of the mascot's horse, so FSU fan Jeff Billings feels it's also a fitting name for his '67 Shelby tribute convertible.

The Marti Report
Kevin Marti's Ford production database is a wonderful resource for '67-'79 Mustang owners, but the information didn't just fall into his laptop.

Island Girl
Nancy Johnson's '66 convertible was built for show and go on Lopez Island.

Grab You Blue
Neil Bell's '70 Cobra Jet Mach 1 is decidedly different with its Grabber Blue paint and Q-code powerplant.

The Real Deal
With 540 hp, the new '08-1/2 Shelby GT500KR is a genuine King of the Road--just like the original '68-1/2.

Reynolds Wrap-Up
Saturday was a washout, but Sunday's showing in the Laurel Mountain All-Ford Auto Show more than made up for the shortened event.

How To Install a Coilover Front Suspension

Upgrade to Shelby Gauges

How To Choose Brake Fluid and Bleed Brakes
Keeping your Mustang's braking system in proper working order calls for regular preventative maintenance.

How To Install an S197 Hood-Lift Kit
California Pony Cars' hood-lift kit eliminates the need for the prop rod on '05-'08 Mustangs.
