    How does the steering wheel come off?

    It's quite alright, I felt like one too when I first took mine off last year... Here's how to do it: You don't actually have to remove the big horn pad, you can keep it attached to the three pronged metal trim ring. Disconnect the battery first of all and then push down on the three...

    DON'T BUY GAS ON MAY 19TH!!

    PLEASE READ THIS AND PASS THE INFO ALONG: The most common problem I hear when people talk about the gas prices and our apparent "oil problem" is that we don't have enough of it and we rely on places like Iraq now for it. This is heavily misconstrued.... The fact is that the US DOES have...

    For those who participated in my thread today (Sun.)

    Yes I've checked out his website, the only things I've ever seen him give tech on is how to drill a couple holes into some sheet metal to try and make a switch plate and answer a few Q's on a transmission swap. I've contributed whatever I could whenever I could. But saying he's a smartass and a...

    I've been here for a year and I've never gotten anything out of his posts besides an uppity attitude. Don't try to teach me anything crushnut. -Tim Oh and you can remove your thumb from his @$$ now.

    *sigh*... 3,410 posts and none of them actually worth reading... I'm surprised you're still allowed to post here. You really are a douchebag, :flag: -Tim

    Desperate for a center console!

    I know, I've seen them hit $700... but mine was not black, it was saddle and it needed to be cleaned up a bit so I got what I wanted for it.... :D But if you've got a console from a mustang that's for a manual transmission, you can make some sweet coin. I didn't need/want mine in my car, I've...

    Remember when we had a talk section?

    gp001, how old are you anyways?? It's like you're out to be hated on for no good reason. Hell, it took you a good 2 weeks to stop talking smack about me in random threads after I gave up on you last time. :notnice: -Tim

    Desperate for a center console!

    I just recently (within 2 weeks) sold my 67 mustang center console with two small hairline cracks in the plastic but with FLAWLESS brushed aluminum and no cut up radio hole for $480 on ebay shipped. Good Luck to you my friend, -Tim

    67 fastback GTA,for 6k

    I'm right with you on that one... when I thought that making my car into an Eleanor was a challenging, barely anyone has done it, sought after, awesome thing to do... I then got slapped in the face by the financial whore that has become Carrol Shelby.. lol. Although, who am I to talk? If I had...

    The evil bolts that destroy my tools...

    UPDATE--- Well, they are counter sunk screws... they suck @$$. lol So I started today with the 2nd bolt because yesterday the first actually came out with leverage. The 2nd was stripped and I went to Sears and spent $57 on screw extractors (diff. sizes), drill bits (apparently strong...

    67 fastback GTA,for 6k

    You guys are right, the name calling was unnecessary. My apologies, I must have written that after stripping the screws in my toploader... :bang: But my point is still valid and I'm tired of people telling me otherwise. -Tim

    The evil bolts that destroy my tools...

    oh my god.... EVEN THE EASY OUT DIDN'T WORK! I drilled into the screws and went to use the easy out piece yet it won't bite the damn thing! Once it gets tight enough to finally bite, I turned it hard and slow and then it got loose again! So I pull it out only to see that the p*ssy easy-out...

    The evil bolts that destroy my tools...

    Oh man..... this sucks... I tried the leverage method... I used the socket piece with the inner tip... can't remember the correct name for the life of me... it goes INTO the bolt because they're that irritating type. I put a pipe over the wrench and turned and TADA! It worked!! First bolt...

    The evil bolts that destroy my tools...

    I'm trying to take off this old shifter adapter plate from the 4-speed toploader I purchased recently so I can install the new Hurst adapter plate... BUT -- The 3 damn bolts just refuse to turn at all! My arms are sore as hell right now and I just bent my 3/16" tool.... lol Any...

    67 fastback GTA,for 6k

    Listen Douchebag, Eleanor is the reason the value of all 67-68 fastbacks has sky-rocketed as of late. It's made my 67 fastback worth 3 times as much as it was 5 years ago. Just because my SN is EL1NOR, it doesn't mean I'm driving one, so kiss my @$$. This board is supposed to be friendly...

    Painting my toploader...

    Where can I get "Cast Blast"?? Is that also at Wal-Mart? You guys don't know if there are any seals I'm going to need to buy for the swap out of my 3-speed to the 4-speed do you? I just got my Hurst Competition Plus shifter in the mail and I'm ready to clean/paint this thing then do the...

    Painting my toploader...

    What should I do/use in order to scrub down the toploader I purchased and paint it?? Are there any how-to's online? I want to paint it and not worry about the crap just peeling off in 3 months of driving. Thanks, -Tim
