    Sn-95 Shelbys?

    Standby folks...I've seen a KR-style hood for the New Edges. Need to dig up a picture. Here we go...can only get the link. Maybe (it's linked to a post on another forum...sorry...) KR hood on New Edge

    Think I'm About To Go Broke...got A Polisher

    Welp, I think I've started a journey that my wallet probably won't appreciate. Just got a DA polisher - a Porter Cable - for my birthday. Next step is obtaining all the pads, cloths, and polishes/waxes that I'll need with it. I'm going to first practice some on my Explorer a bit, then once I'm...

    Polishing Clearcoated Wheels

    Thanks. I think next time I polish them, I'll see if I can get a second battery for the drill and have that at the ready for when the first one dies. I might be able to get 2 wheels out of each battery if I hone my process. And I think I might also get the cone-shaped Powerball as well. I...

    Polishing Clearcoated Wheels

    I finally got around to doing something with my wheels based on your suggestions here ( @74stang2togo , @Mustang5L5 ) and I think they're looking a bit better. I did get a Mother's Powerball and some Meguiar's PlastX and went at 'em. Well, at least 2 3/4s of them. I guess they weren't as bad off...

    Anyone Recently Purchased A California Car Duster?

    Curious to see this myself as well, but I'd bet it could be user error. I, too, am semi-in-the-market for one. I have a knock-off brand duster that I also got back when I first bought my '03 GT (new) and it's showing it's age. I'd like to get one of the wood-handled dusters this time around...

    Really Dumb Question...but Can Mufflers Be Repaired?

    About 12 years. I doubt there's any chance of making a claim after that long. I'm pretty sure it came from when one of the exhaust hangers had split and then that whole section of the exhaust was banging up against the undercarriage. There was nothing between the catalytic converter and the OTA...

    Need Help With Keyless Entry

    So, call me crazy, and I'm sure you've done your due diligence up to this point...but I'll ask anyway. Forgive me! :) Have you checked the remote itself? I only ask because something similar just happened with my 2003 Explorer. I have a remote/fob that I regularly use and when I first bought...

    Really Dumb Question...but Can Mufflers Be Repaired?

    I'm fairly certain that the answer to this is "no" but just wanted to make sure. And it's probably not really something I should do anyway... But I'm still gonna ask. LOL. Are there any exhaust specialists around that can crack open a muffler and repair the insides? I ask because one of my...

    Resource Discussion Craigslist Links

    Here's one up in NJ for $3000. Yes, you read that correctly...3K. Has all the trimmings of a Cobra II but "has been sitting for a few years" and in one of the pictures there are vice grips for a window crank. https://delaware.craigslist.org/cto/d/1977-mustang-ii-v8-4-speed/6303708841.html

    Bought A 99 Limited Edition But It Has No Wing. Is It A Fake?

    This thread might end up getting moved over to the "Special Production" subforum. There's a section within there dedicated to the 35th Anniversary Special Editions and you can request a VIN check there to see if your car was an SE or not.

    Strange Hollow Sound

    Just to check-in...have you had any luck tracking it down at all? I haven't bothered lately to be honest. I narrowed it down and I don't think I'll bother with it again until I'm due for a new air filter. Then I'll probably poke around more and see if I can find it. But right now, it's just a...

    1999 Backup Alarm

    Definitely an add-on. I don't believe any Mustang came with a backup alarm.

    Strange Hollow Sound

    I think I know what you speak of. Pretty sure I've got the same noise. Do you have the stock air box on there, or an aftermarket unit? I haven't found the source exactly either but when I was poking around under the hood to pinpoint it, it definitely sounded like it was coming from the air...

    Tires For 3 Season Driving

    Thanks for the heads-up. I've been getting as much road time with them as possible since getting the car out of the shop and I haven't had any bad experiences with them thus far. As previously stated, the car doesn't get driven in the rain unless I get caught in a storm. And I'll still drive the...

    Odd Seat Question

    I have the leather seats in my '03 GT. For the last few years - I can't recall exactly - the back center of my driver's seat has a large bulge protruding from it. It looks like the back of the seat is pregnant. LOL. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Has the seat foam bunched...

    Polishing Clearcoated Wheels

    What's the best way to polish up some clearcoated wheels? I see the Mother's wheel polish says not to use it on clearcoated wheels so do I just use polish & wax that would be used on the body's paint? I've got the upgraded, 5-star polished aluminum wheels on my 2003 GT...it's basically the same...

    Tires For 3 Season Driving

    Just my .02...take it for what it's worth. I've had the following tires on my 2003 GT so far: Goodyear Gatorbacks (factory tire) Dunlops - don't remember the model, pretty sure they were summer performance tires of some type Goodyear Eagle F1 all-weather (2 sets) Goodyear Eagle GT all-weather...

    Pulley Squeal, Squeak

    How much mileage is on the car? If it's fairly high, replacing the clutch certainly isn't a bad idea while you're at it. I had about 160K miles on my car (and factory clutch) before the TOB went out. I just went with a stock clutch since that's more than enough, even with light mods (though I...
