    I hope it wasn't the chevy engine powering it that you thought was so cool.

    Engine woes

    LOL, are you saying the painter beat the snot out of it while they had it? It may be wise to double check everything over, even the non mechanical items like the engine mounts for example. A worn or partially busted mount will certainly cause bad vibrations at certain rpms.

    Bump steer or... ?

    Just as a reference, a stock Mustang spec would be 1/4* positive caster, 3/4* positive camber and 3/16" toe in. With the Shelby drop the optimal setting changes to 2* positive caster, 0* to 1* negative camber and 1/8" toe in.

    Intolerable squeek coming fron driver's side door.. help!

    It's impossible to say what exactly is squeaking without a visual inspection. With the door panel off try and simulate some motion in the door and see if you can pinpoint it or drive around with the panel off until you do. Other than that just coat every moving and interactive or rubbing part...

    fair price for the paint job

    I'd say about the same ballpark up north more towards New Hampshire. I paid quite a bit more but I also required time on the frame machine, some sheetmetal replacement and custom fiberglass work. Worth every penny though when you compare an equal quality paint job to a car that just had a clean...

    Bolt-on vs. weld-on subframe connectors

    I also went with Global West. When I first researched what to do years ago they came highly recommended as well as to purchase their bolt on units with the intention of welding them on instead of bolting them on.

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Cool and congrats on the win too! They look really nice installed, just like they belong there. I heard some folks had to swap left and right, luckily I did not. Not they they look any different that way really but when You want to let someone in the back it can be an issue leaning over first to...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Great, glad it's all working out for you. I think anyone who is considering the Fiero conversion would be nmore than happy getting any covering option from Mr. Mike. I can't wait to see them skinned and installed.

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Cool, looks good. So the dimension across was fine? I know I remember mine being just off by enough that the threads got hung up in the floor pan holes when I tried the first test fit. I think the center lines on the floor pan were like 14" and the track bolt centerlines were just under 14 1/2...

    Lol, and I probably shouldn't have read it while I was sober. CHEERS!

    2005 mustang nose on classic mustang - has it been done?

    You weren't alone, I misunderstood reen too. I read that first comment and was like WTF, this has to be a joke, this is what he does. He just wasn't very clear in what he meant I guess.

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    I think you can get the mechanism covers at a place called the fiero store online. ??????????? What the heck is that? I don't follow. So is he doing custom matching rear seat covers now too? I'm sure he has had a huge influx of Mustang customers since I dealt with him but he would...

    Yeah, how could I possibly forget, he's managed to work that Cougar into every other conversation for 5 years now, I told him he should call it Nessie because we always hear about it but no one ever sees it. Though we did just get our first look at it a week ago, so the mystery is finally over.

    2005 mustang nose on classic mustang - has it been done?

    I agree, I only chose the Cobra model to chop because it was the first one I saw at the same angle of the 69 nose I was using.

    Met the girl of my dreams today

    Exactly, it's not pleasant but it's also not forever. Once you get married and start looking toward the future your priorities have to change in life if you want to grow. I came real close to selling my car for a down payment in 2000, took out an add and everything. Fortunately instead I agreed...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Oops, well I tried to warn you but seems nothing you could do about it anyway. So that is weird, the new cover on one of the seats wasn't stock fiero I guess? Because usually a new stock cover would have come with new foam sewn in. It must have looked pretty baggy on the seat because it has a...

    Met the girl of my dreams today

    Well I can make you feel better, my new job is 83 miles away on the absolute worst commute route that Boston has to offer. With an average of 16mpg and an expected price jump on gas of $4.50 by June, you do the math. On top of it peek commute hours can take 2-3 hours easily. BTW, while it's...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Sounds cool, I hope you didn't throw away the old skins yet though. Mr. Mikes sends all new foam for the seat bottom but you have to cut out the contoured lumbar part from the old seat back cover and reuse it. I look forward to following what you do on the tracks. I got too frustrated trying...
