    Hopping down the bunny trail.... Hippity hop..

    Well anyways... you get the picture. A coincedence that I got my car on the road yesterday morning before the Easter festivities at my house. The Baer brakes need to be "seasoned" yet so no real report on them yet. But as you may have guessed. The arse end hops like a bunny rabbit now...

    85 mph brick wall

    Can't bust 85mph? Sorry... that's a huge problem that might warrant a five hundred word response that I just don't feel like writing. You should be hitting that mph half way thru third gear!!! Something is really wrong.

    Lowering Engine with TCP Motor Mounts -- How to Post Photo?

    Historic... with your road racing knowledge... you should know that just lowering the engine will lower the center of gravity... enhancing handling. Moving it back may not matter (Although it should help balance the car more) It's a great idea in my humble opinion. As minute as it may seem. :)

    Favorite Mustang Style?

    I'm partial (who isn't?) to my 67'. But I loved my old 87' Notch 5.0+. And my buddy has an 03' Cobra that bumps 155 (speed limited) and does 12.8 (stock) in the 1/4 mile. So if you can figure out what I like better... let me know. Cuz I haven't a clue. :)

    If you happen to know of a place that sells those plates... I'd be grateful. Thanks.

    Brake swap issue

    Okay.. thanks for the info. I think what I'm going to do is run the car for awhile and do an inspection afterwards. Baer sent specific instructions along with the kits on how to properly season and bed the pads. I'm going to go thru all that and just get a "feel" for how the car works...

    Brake swap issue

    Residual valve.... what the heck is that? And where is it? Can I just remove it? Hey, another thing I noticed. When we were bleeding the system.... my buddy noticed that the firewall/MC unit flex when the brake pedal is pushed hard. Is that normal?

    Brake swap issue

    Thanks guys. I've discussed this with a few of my buds today and it seems that everyone agrees to give the existing aftermarket MC a try. It's already there and plumbed. The bowl sizes on the existing piece apear to be the same size as the piece from Baer (volume speaking). I can always...

    Brake swap issue

    Man... almost done with the swap and now I'm stuck. For those that don't know, I'm swapping in front and rear disc brake kits from Baer. Everything has gone real smooth. No problems at all.... until now. My car came originally with drums on all four corners. I believe somebody did a...

    brake recomendations

    It really depends on what you want for the car. You have to specify how the car is to be driven and what kind of budget you're looking at. Here's the brake conversion I'm just finishing up...

    Largest tires possible for my 66?

    Wow... has this thread gone nutz or what? Hey man, sorry if I offended you and your car. I just really think the tire sticking out like that is tacky. I've gathered from the previous posts that you understand that and if you had the cash, you'd do it differently. Most of us feel your pain...

    What does it take to fit 11 wide wheel on a 65 stang?

    My two cents is to just to put on a wheel and lay under there for about an hour taking measurements and imagining your options. That's pretty much what I did. Just note the "what if" things. Like your fender lips rolled, leaf spring interference, brake caliper interference (if you have rotors...

    8 inch rear, how strong?

    Forget how strong... how fricken heavy are the 8inchers??!!! DANG!! I got mine back together Saturday night. So there I sat with nothing else to do. Should I wait a day or two and get a buddy to come over to help put it back in the car? Yes, but I'm not that patient. So genius here decides...

    Insurance Inquiry

    Now before anybody tries to interpret an effort on my behalf to mask intentions of selling my car by asking about Insurance..... NO, I said NO, I am not, and have no intentions of EVER selling my ride. Period. And no, I don't believe some dude is gonna walk up to me and drop 20k cash in my lap...

    converting to disc brakes

    The price on the Baer is a mis-conception. When comparing apples to apples, the Baer is right on line with SS. At least it is for the larger diameter rotor kits (13"). That includes the fancy rotors. Both my front and rear kits totalled $2400, shipped. That included a couple hundred extra...
