    Anyone with problems doing the 3G swap with stock wiring?

    How often does a stock Mustang pull greater than 60 amps? I don't have or ever want a giant stereo, or any other power eating accessory, is it still worth while to upgrade to this alternator? I see the need to upgrade the wiring if you use a high ouput alternator becasue it has the...

    I have a restored 64 Triumph Spitfire insured through State Farm. They maxed the coverage out at $2200. I got an apprasial for $6500 and State Farm adjusted the policy to cover up to the $6500. Policy only went up about $20 every 6 months.

    How do you install front spring???

    Autozone will rent the internal spring compressor for free. Just leave a deposit. I've used it to reinstall stock springs.

    What could cause white smoke ?

    Most cars make a white cloud when it's cold outside. Does it go away after the car warms up?

    mustang is back from paint part 2

    Look at the top pics when his car is in the paint booth. Look at the reflections in the paint, see how rough they are. That's the orange peel, it's not smooth. Looks like an orange peel, hence the name. Every paint job in the world has it to some extent. Wet sanding and polishing will...

    Basic info: Welding?

    The links don't work for me. Most exhaust pipe is 16 to 18 gauge. Make sure you can get stainless steel flux core welding wire if you doing stainless pipe. You can use regular steel wire but the weld will rust.

    Someone egged my car!

    Out of curosity, were you actually prepared to shoot those kids for egging your car? Never pull a gun unless your prepared to use it. Trying to scare someone with a gun, especially these days, is a good way to end up dead.

    Can I use the center caps that came with the 98 Cobra rims I'm using with my 5 lug conversion, thay have little cobras on them. Also my calipers say Cobra. Should I grind that off? J/K. I have no problem if anyone wants to put a cobra on their car or even make a Cobra replica, as long as...

    another 5 lug question?

    You never specified which caliper you plan on using with your SN95 spindles. If your using Cobra calipers you will not be able to use the stock flexible brake hose.

    Most interesting experiences with the police..lets here it.

    I have a funny one. I stop at a Chevron to get gas, while I'm filling up my wife goes inside to get a drink and pay for the gas. She comes out, we leave and get back on the freeway. About 10 miles down the road there is a sheriff sitting along the road. I go by and he pulls out and follows...

    mustang is back from paint part 2

    Looks good. Is the clear a two part urethane? If it is and you have the time wet sand it now before the clear really cures hard. It will be a lot easier. Also - Edit the pics smaller. TomCat, where in Utah are you at?
