    Unique Performance in the news

    But there are already two separate threads on Unique over there, both on the same page. So this thread must be three times as good.

    Monte carlo bar install 67 fb

    I had to put mine in at an angle, then hammer it straight. Didn't solve the mystery of the extra holes on the bottom, though.

    t5 flywheel & clutch fit

    You need a flywheel drilled to the late model clutch, or use a clutch with an early model pattern. There are late model style diaphragm clutches with an early bolt pattern available, if that's what you're looking for. Not sure about the pilot bearing, since I ordered a kit that included pilot...

    2007 Sema Mustangs

    I thought the orange one was a re-painted Reactor. How'd I guess there would be another flood of early fastbacks in SEMA this year? At least it gives me ideas.

    Overhaulin at SEMA

    Are those "pranks" even real? I'd lie about it too if they were doing my car for free. "My car of 30 years got stolen, but that's cool, "friend", you take care of the police stuff while I sit at home crying and not making a single outgoing call for seven days." I don't think I'd trust anyone...

    proform timing gear-anyone tried it?

    The Summit gear drive is $20 less than the name-brand sets. Summit re-badges stuff, so until you get the product you won't know if it's a Pete Jackson or Chinese clone. At that price though I can see it being one of the better-known brands. The down side though is that it only comes in a "noisy"...

    Flaring a 65 Fastback?

    It's about time you posted decent images of your car.:D Are those the 1.5" ones? The 3" ones which go halfway up the quarter panel look hideous to me. I thought the 1.5s would do the same but yours looks good.

    proform timing gear-anyone tried it?

    Are you sure the eBay one is brand new and in fact from Proform? Got a link? Proform is probably out of the Ford gear drive business and these are the left overs, since online stores only list Chevy applications. There are a lot of cheap timing gears on ebay with no brand listed; I'd stay away...

    Hood Pins

    Unless you've got other billet doo-dads bolted onto the outside of your car, those pins are going to stick out like sore thumbs. They look nice but not something I'd put on a hood. Maybe if they were flush mounted. Love the use of 400K graphic images for a "website", which are out-of-scale...

    Wanted: Eleanor lower nose or 1967 bumperless apron withOUT spoiler.

    Used or damaged is OK as I'm not keeping it as-is, I just need a closer foundation to what I had in mind. Modifying other existing aprons is just too much work. A new lower E-nose and the Cobra Automotive piece are $500 each, no way. The only racing aprons I can find for 67s have that strange...

    Satchel rear coilover

    Yeah, I really want to give these guys $4000.

    1967 wheel swapping fun (with modem-choking pictures goodness)

    Stock rear end width as far as I know, and I added an SSBC rear disc kit to it around 1994. The rotors ride on a hubcentric ring which the wheel adapters fit very tight around so I'm not worried. Adapters have been a tuning aid for years in racing to adjust for different track widths. After...

    CDC Flashback for SEMA - GT500 Power

    It looks a bit "pearly" in the pics, hence my 50s comment. Just like I thought Bigmac's dark green car looked awesome in his personal pics, yet the magazine pics were an oddball glowing green.

    rim dilema

    You'll need at least a 1" adapter for your wheels to clear the original studs, unless the back of the wheel has hollow spots for them. So if you already have the correct offset/backspacing adding another inch would not help you any. Good deals are hard to come by, but unfortunately you might...

    Power steering woes update.

    What are you talking about? Update your old thread! Did you strip the bracket to chassis nut? Holesaw the chassis above the bolt holes and install nuts/washers on the back side. I think I answered this already in your other thread?

    CDC Flashback for SEMA - GT500 Power

    I always like seeing rear bumpers that fit that tightly. Looks like a lot of cutting and welding, unless it's fiberglass. That color is straight out of the gaudy show-car era of the 1950s. All it needs are whitewall tires. Why no pictures of the front end? Interior doesn't work for me -...

    Can discharging a 10-month-old battery kill it?

    The AAA guy is most likely from a contracted tow company, not a AAA employee himself. They range from honest, well trained pros to bottom of the barrel hole-in-the-wall shop employees looking for a quick buck. Chances are the battery cost half that, and he pocketed the rest as well as the money...
