    Best Method for Drilling Emblem Holes in Fenders?

    I agree the bit should be sharp. If the holes are small, then I agree you don't need a pilot hole. If its more than a couple bit sizes from the smallest one you have then I would still personally do it. I would do that over a center punch on my fender, cause if you don't have a real good punch...

    I don't think it can be done.

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    I went into my 67 resto with minimal tools and space, and it came out pretty good. I bought some tools and borrowed some. Some I borrowed from autozone for a deposit(refundable on return). I had never pulled an engine, rebuilt one, or done bodywork. Now, I have more experience at it, more money...

    CNBC Reports 05 Under 20000 w/ 300HP

    I doubt if the engine is just a thousand. Its not just two extra cylinders. The block is aluminum on the GT, the heads are three valves per cylinder, its got that variable camshaft timing and charge motion control valve(whatever that is), plus radiator and cooling system would cost a bit more...

    CNBC Reports 05 Under 20000 w/ 300HP

    Delete- leather, power windows, locks, mirrors, and seats. Spoiler, fog lights, AC, rear sway bar, Downgrade seats. Go with no stereo, or install basic am/fm with four speakers. You could downgrade brakes to V6 brakes since they are four wheel disc, just smaller than GT rotors. T-5 tranny...

    saw a gto

    That is one ugly car, cause it is not a mustang. And if I had not decided to dump a sh**load more money in my stang, I would have ordered a turnkey minus one of those ugly cars by now. :D

    Things to like about the 05

    1. Front facia is one of the best stock ones ever on the post classic cars. I hated the way they started diving backwards from the bumber down after the 93. In my opinion, the aftermarket will have a hard time improving on this one. 2. The fast back look. 3. Finally got the stance to look...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    There's wisdom in that statement. But why leave the old motor mounts? :D

    Maybe, but you just kept it going. :bang: I just did too.

    IRS in the new Stang, be careful of what you wish for

    Thats always good fun, I was just saying in a road race case it would slow you down. Of course, I would never break the law by spinning my tires on the street. :p

    Best Method for Drilling Emblem Holes in Fenders?

    That is entirely wrong on the bit. A large bit will walk way easier than a small one. Drilling pilot holes work for everything from working on metal, to wood, to plastic etccc... Try it on a scrap piece of metal with a large bit and you will see. The small bit starts cutting the metal with the...

    302 engine swapped into a 67 coupe sixer?

    I've been looking for another project to buy and store for later, and anything with a V8, even a coupe, that is asking only $1100 is a wrecked or rusted out hunk of sh**. Even if you get one at a decent price low price, it will likely have a worn out suspension anyway front and back and need...

    LS1 forum folks droolin over 05 stang

    I don't agree. Chevy makes money on the Vette. Its been around since about 1953, far longer than the mustang. I doubt that the prowler or SSR or Ford GT will be around for 50 years. The SSR will be a limited production vehicle while the Vette is considered mass production.

    Mustang Trivia

    In an effort to start a new thread that is fun, and does not deal with IRS and sub 20k GT's, I will ask trivia questions on the mustang. Which year was the last for the factory installed 8 track? Whoever gets it right first will win absolutely nothing. I have alot of them from a mag I have...

    Live axel saves $300 on 2005 Stang

    I guess you were at every fun ford weekend so you know they did not ask any customers their opinion. :rolleyes: And maybe you just don't read well, because: 1. The decision they were making was wether to put IRS or live axle into the GT. The cobra is already IRS. 2. He said they were...

    IRS in the new Stang, be careful of what you wish for

    Yeah thats true. The platform for the 03 and earlier cobra's were designed for solid axle. They came along and shoehorned an IRS into a solid axle design. Next cobra will be designed for IRS and should be better. And as for wheel hop with spirited driving, not everyone believes spinning the rear...
