    Planned Cross Country Run - 65 Fastback

    I'll be coming out of Los Angeles area and heading to Virginia Beach, VA. I expect I'll be taking Interstate 10 unless the weather is looking super nice, then I might contemplate I-40.

    Planned Cross Country Run - 65 Fastback

    Progress ... and my mom may be slightly pissed that her plants got ran over. She's more happy the car finally moved after a decade than she is mad though so I call that a win. My brother and our friend were able to get my 67 Imperial moved forward and the 65 pulled up onto the concrete so they...

    Planned Cross Country Run - 65 Fastback

    That's a great idea with the support along the way. I've planned some friends along the way but some are car folk, some are not. Having a good list of folks to at least swing in, grab a bite to eat and if there are major issues, call, would be ideal!

    Planned Cross Country Run - 65 Fastback

    So ... I'm about to do something incredibly dumb but I think its going to be a hoot. I bought this 65 Fastback with my dad way back in like 98. Drove the wheels off it in highschool and whenever I came home during college. I worked most of my summers out in New Mexico on a ranch and had no...

    Cold Air Intake Suggestions 2008 GT500

    I do have a question. How difficult is the reflash of the computer with the supplied equipment? I've only really wrenched on 60's cars so computers are a rather new developement in my tuning needs. Also, what exactly is the "black hose replacement" option all about? Finally, does Steeda do...

    Cold Air Intake Suggestions 2008 GT500

    Hey folks. I tried doing a search on the forums on this topic and yielded very little information. Which cold air intake kits do you all recommend? I've seen atleast 5 different brands! I'm also interested in doing an exhaust swap so if you have any recommendations there I'd appreciate it!

    Bought an 08 GT500

    Thanks for that info. I'll definitely take a look. I had REALLY been wondering if a better shifter wouldn't solve some of my shifting woes. The stock shifter just seems ... mushy and inaccurate. I think its high up on my list of things to replace but it'll depend on the ease with which it can be...

    Performance Shops in/near Charleston, SC

    Hey folks, I just got stationed in Charleston and before moving out here I bought a Shelby. I'd like to get it dyno'd and possibly look into some other mods.

    Bought an 08 GT500

    Well, I traded in my old 2001 Saleen S281 and walked out of the dealership with a 2008 Shelby GT500 with 16.5k miles on it. I checked her over and she seemed to be good to go. The clutch doesn't slip and the transmission worked well. I've absolutely loved driving that car. The only things I've...

    Power Steering Gone

    Thanks for the information. I was wondering if perhaps since its got the large caliper Saleen style brakes if I might not notice the brake assist as much if the PS went out on it. Not sure how much it changes pedal feel when you've got a big brake system on it already. It definitely doesn't feel...

    Power Steering Gone

    I've got a 2001 Saleen S281 and last night the power steering went out. It gave no warning, it just quit working. There is still fluid in the reservoir and there are no signs of leaks and no squealing or whining coming from under the hood. Any ideas? Did the pump just grenade quietly on me...
