    EZ WIRING vs PAINLESS

    I am planning on rewiring my dash panel. All the wires have been cobbed up by the previous owner and many of the colored wires have been replaced with black. I also want to upgrade the fuse box. Does anybody have any feedback about the products sold by EZ Wiring. I see that the EZ Wiring 12 and...

    winter = snow

    I had a wire head switch the wires so the traction control is always off. I don't like or trust it. I put in a traction loc differential with 3.73 gears. I have only gotten stuck once in 24" of unplowed snow because I forgot to put my sand bag in the trunk. Walked up the driveway, got the sand...

    Correct Coil Springs

    Just got my 66 GT back from the shop. I had them put in KYB Gas Shocks and 480 lb Coil Springs. Car rides great until I hit a bump. Then it bottoms out and the tires hit the fender well in the front and the back end has a little bit of a hop. Should I be looking at 600 lb Coils in the front...

    VIN# Problem

    I think I am going to give a call to Carfax. They list the car as a 32V SOHC. I have beeb ubable to prove this with any decoder. I agree with you, the 2000 GT should be a 16 V, but Carfax boast of being correct, so I am going to hold them to the claim.

    Rough Ride

    I am not sure of the shocks? I push on the back and it does depress and bounce back up without a lot of effort. The front seems stiff and is hard to push down. The car has 59,000. miles on it. If I replace shocks/struts, what would be a good recommendation. I do not race or bring this car to...

    any painters interested near buffalo, NY

    I can recommend who not to go to, since I paid about $2,800.00 and got a real crappy job. I really do not think you are going to get a good paint job for a $1,000.00 MACO will do their premium for about $800.00. I do not know how good MACO is now, in the past they advertized cheap and...

    Paint Problems

    I guess the humerous side to this is that when I was trying to get him to fix the paint job(even offered to buy the materials), I would never tell people who painted it. Now when people approach me at the Home Depot. I tell them very enthusiastically who painted the car. I even give them his...

Most of these shops know this guy and just laugh and shake their heads when they hear his name..... to bad I didn't know ahead of time. Next time someone tells me they are the best at anything...

    Paint Problems

    Being new to restoration and especially paint shops, I took my 66 to a shop that BS'd me pretty good. I didn't even challenge the price since the guy really talked a good game. To make a really long story short, I find that the paint is peeling, rippled rough to the touch and has a lot of black...

    powdercoating?

    I agree! POR15 works great. I painted all paintable areas under my 66 last summer, no chipping, no pealing and of course no rust. Plan on doing all underside sheetmetal this summer.
