    Anyone do driveways or had one done recently?

    That's what I'm mostly afraid of, especially something based on petroleum type products. But maybe this has a chance of going down in the near future too, who knows. What bothers me the most is the market right now and it seems that something like this retains less value than my new roof or...

    Summer Convertible Tunes

    Wow, is this a subjective question, so many tastes and opinions of what good music is. I can honestly say that with CD, MP3/Ipod and good ole cassette at my disposal in pretty much all my cars I still tend to tune to my local Classic Rock station more often than anything, particularly top...

    Anyone do driveways or had one done recently?

    I have been putting off redoing mine for years, it was poorly done in the late 80's and looks like a roller coaster, it's just really bad. Two homes are having it done now in my neighborhood by the same guy (4th generation paver) and seeing how bad ours is he came by and offered us a deal if we...

    Met the girl of my dreams today

    Honestly, since I wasn't a part of it originally I had no idea his new bride to be wasn't the original girl of his dreams until just recently. Heck, I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they were already in marriage counseling and then I realized they weren't even married yet...

    Finally broke down and joined the dark side...

    Isn't the old guy Willie Nelson? Could account for the paranoid, they say the ganja can do that to you. I wouldn't know personally but that's what I've heard. (Disclaimer: I had to say that as I think the government is watching me from space right now as I'm typing):hide:

    Looking for help on mysterious fuel interruption

    Are you sure it's a fuel problem and not more like the fuel not getting ignited problem? The basic fundamentals to most car problems are fuel, air or spark, when one is down it stops. I did not see where you checked the carb? Also, are you running points still on the distributor? Have you...

    modern seats

    Since you asked I will offer this option for your consideration. I've actually started a small craze over this swap at the VMF recently. When paired with either a new vinyl or leather cover from Mr. Mikes they can look very much like a vintage Mach 1 seat only with more modern bolstering to keep...

    Steering sugestions?

    The play is be due to wear in the gears inside the steering box, the old style worm gear teeth wear over the years creating spaces between them and thus the play that you feel before the teeth meet again to turn. Adjustment of the steering requires two people, but the job can be done in just a...

    Steering sugestions?

    Basically the answer is no. The old power steering does not really get any better than it is. You can tighten up the play a little but it will always eventually leak and feal a little loose. R&P is really the only upgrade worth spending time and money on.

    New grease gun broke my zerk...

    Well, all I can say is the only time an easy out has worked for me is when a bolt snapped when I was just installing it. If the bolt snapped during removal it was usually so seized that I broke the easy out trying to remove it. This inevitably lead to what I always tried to avoid to begin with...

    3-point seat belt for convertible

    AMEN! As someone who got hit in back by a 91' Civic running a red light doing 65, I can attest that I did not suffer 3rd degree burns on 90% of my body and my car was yard driveable afterwards where as his grill was in the glovebox. Granted the lap belt wrenched my lower back severely and I...

    A Hitch For a 70 Mustang?

    He actually didn't say he scored so don't go reading into his reply and give credit where it's not due no matter how easy the task would be. "Pride" is probably just his nickname for his unit (explains why it is lame) The "action" I am sure was little more than rubbing one out while uploading...

    hmm i need help again

    What if anything have you done to the fuel system between it sitting and you starting it? Replace tank, lines, filters, etc???????? What was done to the fuel system if anything prior to it being stored? These answers will shed alot of light on the issue.

    A Hitch For a 70 Mustang?

    Awe c'mon now, let's be fair. Posing all proud because you got a couple of hooter :taco:s to pose with you is by far a bigger joke than his comment. Using it as your avatar makes it just priceless.:rlaugh: I dare anyone to pull up along this car and tell him how lame his hitch is.:rolleyes:

    carpet dye

    I used the duplicolor black back in the 90's to change my tan jeep carpet and it worked great, I had to clean the carpet very well first though, you shouldn't have that problem with a speaker box. Eventually the section on the hump near the gas pedal started to wear a little from rubbing but it...
