    cobra/stalker bodykit on a notch...Please Look

    That Calypso Green car looks like the Cobra moldings were applied OVER the LX beltline moldings! Specifically, the side skirts; the doors are LX, front fender and rear wheel moldings appear to be affixed over the original LX moldings?! WTF? Maybe it is just an optical illusion, but those are...

    cobra/stalker bodykit on a notch...Please Look

    Don't forget, you will need GT beltline moldings, for the Cobra/Stalker kit to properly match up. I think it will look great, but I am partial to GT's/Cobras/Saleens anyway. Just factor in the extra cost of the beltline moldings, you should only need the door pieces, if you go with a complete...

    Removed quad shocks, have wheel hop, what to do

    Baer billet spacers and new Baer or Steeda (ARP) longer studs will do the trick. Prepare to spend around $150 to do one axle, correctly. I would not go bigger than 3/8", as mentioned earlier.

    question about gfx removal

    A lot more work than it is worth, honestly. If you want an LX, you should buy an LX, not try to convert a GT. In addition, some of the LX beltline mouldings are no longer produced, so you are reduced to paying a fortune for NOS pieces, or getting bent and wavy pieces from a junk yard. IMO...

    Rear gas tank and front tilt hood pics..

    I like both of the mods. They are not for me or my car, but I still respect them both. The car will still have a stock appearance, but a forward tilting hood, how cool is that!? As far as the gas filler cap, I love the idea of shaving off that ugly-ace square fuel door. I fail to see how a gas...

    Saleen Post Pics Of Your Saleen!!

    Duh! You would think that I would have been observant enough to notice the stacked wing and the stock, non-vented hood!?

    Saleen Post Pics Of Your Saleen!!

    Chris - Those don't look like Sterns, to me. They look like the Speedlines or Logic wheels? Super cool car, at any rate. I am still anxiously awaiting a write up on the car, on SCOA or here, wherever... let me know! lol

    Back from Body Shop FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Car looks awsome, for an LX!! lol, I am a GT man. A couple of constructive criticisim type comments: the 5.0 logos look like they were placed much too high, and did you consider painting the mirrors to match? Might have looked good, but possibly that is a personal taste decision. Anyway, the...

    GT Rear bumper cover

    I used a flexible urethane bumper repair kit, to fill in my 'Mustang GT' embossing on the side skirts. It came in a two-part (epoxy type) tube. The area was well prepped, and sanded down with a rotary disc etc. Just be careful, as the skirts are very thin, and you do not want to sand through...

    Wheel problems

    Having the wheels repaired, meaning straightened only, will cost you in the neighborhood of $100+ for each wheel. Probably just one of the front wheels is bent, but they should both be checked. What size Welds are you running? If you are running 'littles' up front, then you just gave the perfect...

    Roush What kind of Oil to use?

    Royal Purple 20W50. I know that is like molasses for viscosity, but these cars run so hot, you really want a thicker oil. I got this advice from Joe DaSilva's column in Modified Mustang. We run these cars only in good weather (read: warm/hot) high hp levels generates even more heat, the add...

    BUYING A 08 TOYOTA TUNDRA

    So everything I said was 100% accurate, except the frames are rusting and rotting not cracking?? How exactly is that 'Totally False!' ?? I stand by my assertion that Toyota trucks always have been, are, and always will be total junk! Love the Tundra, now we get a full size, overpriced tin...

    BUYING A 08 TOYOTA TUNDRA

    Toyota is buying back a large number of their trucks for cracked frames?! Not rust, not rot, but actual cracks through the frame rails!!! I am not sure exactly what years and specific models, however. This is not a recall, Toyota is actually buying back the truck from the owner (who has owned...

    Deer -vs- BMW on the Autobahn, not for the weak!!

    Man, I always knew that BMW's were superior to our Fox's, but that Fox body got OWNED!!! :D That statement was hilarious! Thanks for brightening my day! :rlaugh: A short story along the same lines: Over the summer I had to 'put down' (shoot) a moose that had a brain-worm parasite. The moose...

    Seriously?? NOT AGAIN! this sucks

    Someone is definitely targeting you. Once could be chalked up to a random act of vandalism, twice, it is personal. If you think long and hard about it, I'm sure you will be able to figure out who it is, or at least narrow it down. As far as fingerprinting the rock, it can't be done. Rocks are...

    Chairs out of old seats?

    Check this out. It is kind of pricey, if you can find the pricing it is around $230 for just the base! Heck a brand new office chair is less than $100 from Staples. I would buy one of those and fab up something myself. Matter of fact, I think that I will do just that, with one of my old porno...
