    My GT500 is rusting and Ford doesn't care

    You answered your own question.. The paint coloring has to be blended to the existing paint.. Age, how it was painted, exposure to light, pollutants, different date of paint manufacture, and mixing.. it all comes in to play with how the final color comes out. You can have just the hood painted...

    Another early S197 Spark plug HATE post

    I had one small bit of insulator I went looking for,, and while vacuuming that out (shop vac with 3/8 hose attachment) found that bit and a lot of carbon from what came off the shield as it was extracted. I also sucked up a bunch of the carbon dissolver used IAW the TSB procedures.. Would that...

    Another early S197 Spark plug HATE post

    The Lisle LIS 65600 Truly it's a better solution, faster, and fairly cheap at under $100 if you plan ahead. It was nice to get this done last night; it was great to do it with tools and materials on hand. And it still would have been both the $ to have and use the Lisle tool IMHO.. If you’re...

    Another early S197 Spark plug HATE post

    Cheap easy to make, and they worked perfectly. These two tools plus a vacuum and 3/8-16 tap is really all you need.

    new wheels

    I like the look and fit no issues at all. The clear coat started to come off, on the rears, but from where it started on the flat rim surface, I do not fault the manufacture,, I’m sure the issue started with a nick from road trash, and then went from there. A friend owns a Body shop at home.. So...

    Greenway Ford service drove my car over 200 miles!

    Again, a warranty is only as good as the servicing dealership. Same goes for the customer service you receive. Some shops, your situation would result in the offer of compensation that would both pacify you and be livable to the dealership. Some shops it’ll be that and a firing of the involved...

    Which chin spoiler?

    Ricer? Excellent attitude there. :notnice: CDC makes a textured black and a plain black spoiler that fits right in with many color schemes. To each his own, if it gives you the look you’re after, painted or not.. Go for it..:nice: Only a chump builds a car to impress others. :nono...

    tire suggestions and how many miles did you pirrelli's last?

    Your comments are dead on. :nice: If you drive your Mustang as a form of transportation used to get from point A to B.. maintain them as described above you can make tire tread last well into the dry, weather cracked ages need to replace stages. My Mother used to do that on her Celica Supra...

Mine got greasy as they wore to the end,, but most of the tread life they...
