    Stangnet visuals 'upgrade'

    I know the mods don't like us slating the new look, but if you're fed up with interminable page load times on 'new blue moon', there is now a skin available called 'The FastDial'. It looks like the old 'Blue Moon' and is quick on page loads. Scroll to the bottom of the page and there's a...

    Harriers, Helocopters, and Water, Oh My!

    I was at that airshow where the Harrier 'went in'. Thank goodness it was over the sea, and not on land - there would have been flaming bits all over the place. Scary, man. All pilots that eject join a special club that even has it's own tie...some consolation!!

    Pic's W or W/O

    I got bored at the lockup one day, fed up that the car is still on stands and not running etc etc, so I 'customised' my car cover and found out I can't draw ponies or axle stands...

    Forum upgrade freaking me out....

    I for one, hate being bullied into anything. I liked the old Blue Moon, and have always changed back when they 'upgrade' but this time no choice. Makes my eyes hurt...

    Heater core replacement Questions

    Piece of cake. I've had the heater in and out of my 66 three times now (long story), but if it takes you more than 30 minutes to get it out, you're doing something wrong...

    I'd be scared to drive it - too gorgeous, too perfect. Good work, man.

    Strange '69 running light problem

    Check the chassis grounds. It sounds like your running light hasn't got a very good ground connection.

    flathead needed.....no not for my stang!

    If you're going the WWII feel, forget the Flattie and fit an Allison or better yet a Merlin! :D The T sounds really cool - shark's teeth would look great on a track-T nose.

    Engine Startup After Rebuild - advice please

    Thanks Red. Dumb question - my drill goes both ways - which direction should I spin it? Clockwise, or anti-clock? And how fast, for that matter?

    Engine Startup After Rebuild - advice please

    OK, I'm nearly ready to fire her up ('66 289 C code), and I'm thinking you guys must have seen every problem there is. Any advice? In particular: Is the oil pump self priming? If not, how do I fill it up? I need to get oil around the engine before I make proper start, I have been told...

    Any luck with fuel line in a roll

    Well, I have no experience of the Summit stuff, but I bought some copper line of the correct diameter from a plumber's merchant and got a bout a mile of it for 5GBP (about $8). Cheap, easy to bend (straighten), all I needed to do was cut it to length, and solder an olive on each end to retain...

    Mother Trucker *RUST*

    Because there's usually more to rust than what you can see, and it's only when you start stripping finishes off, and starting to repair that you find the full extent. Difficult to price, and I'm sure there are plenty of owners that won't pay the final price. Lots of hassle for the accident...

    Speedo cable placement

    Have you got a hole there to poke it through? I had this thread about about a month ago asking the same question: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=572733 I have no hole at that location...
