    Car is for Sale...am I making the right choice?

    I just realized what I was trying to say....you have to have a few different cars to realize what you REALLY like in a car. (Some guys do this with girls. ;) ) I figured that if I am going to do it again, I'll buy a nice clean 94-98 Cobra and have the BEST of the 94/5 Mustang offerings.

    Car is for Sale...am I making the right choice?

    Dude, you know when "it's time" to sell your car. I am selling mine, too. It's "just" a 94 GT. (automatic, at that) I haven't really lost interest in it. I'd just like to try something different. Nothing wrong with that. To move up to a Bullitt, is a good move. Will you miss your 95...

    tire heights?

    315 x .35 x 2 / 25.4 + 17 = overall tire diameter The way this works is 315 (section width) x .35 (sidewall ratio) x 2 (1 "top" and 1 "bottom" sidewall) / 25.4 (to convert from mm to inches) + 17 (wheel diameter) = 25.68" So you can apply this to any metric tire to get an idea of the...

    Project Red Head Mistress

    Tell us you resurfaced that flywheel. I could see the checking and cracking from here! Lol! Seriously, though, did you?

    1st Stupid ticket of the year

    Get a piece of screen from a screen door and put it in there. Lol! Seriously though, get a piece of Lexan or plexiglass and cut it to fit and put it in there. Fixed! Good luck!

    Just got in my Export Tail Lights from Japan!

    True. But you don't need to figure out how much resistance a bulb provides, if you use a bulb. No one had mentioned it as a solution, so I figured I would. It obviously works, if that's the "normal" way to do it and he never mentioned that he didn't want to do it that way. I hope it was...

    Roller Rocker Issue

    What 351 heads did you put on? Do you have pedestal (OE) style rockers? If not, what style rockers are they? Got any pics of the issue? We can help more with more info.

    Think i found the color for my stang! Also some Questions!

    Lol. I was going to advise that you should get someone that has experience with candy colors to actually put the tint on it. Candy is NOT the type of paint to learn on. I'd say you can do the silver or white base, though. A proper paint booth is "required" for the tint too, because of the...

    Just got in my Export Tail Lights from Japan!

    Why not just put a bulb in-line and put it somewhere where it won't be seen.

    69 4v Heads

    They used to be the ONLY "performance" head you could get for a small block Ford. Thanks to this NEW car that came out in '79 and got a little popular in the 80's (Fox Mustang, for those in Rio Linda, Ca. Lol!) there are a million better heads out there. I would think that any of the Explorer...

    94/5 specific engine accessory question.

    I already have a 3g alternator but I'm not sure of what car it came on, originally. I guess I'll have to figure that out. Of course, it's cheap enough to get a "good" alt out of the JY.

    94/5 specific engine accessory question.

    Are the T'bird ones low profile, as well? I have a non-Mustang application but there is very limited room between the front of the engine and the radiator. If they are also l.p., I might be interested in getting them from you. (If they are available.)

    How To Paint a Car??? Body Guys Help Me Out!!!

    Under the hood, you can get away with spraying over rattle can primer. (Especially if you used Duplicolor rattles. Their etching primer is killer....in a can.) A good primer/sealer would be better, though. No need to go all the way back to metal. On the body, I wouldn't want to spray...

    94/5 specific engine accessory question.

    What other cars have the same low profile accessory brackets as our cars? I think someone said that all of the Thunderbirds after about 1990 with 5.0's had the same ones. Is that right? Anyone know for sure? Thanks!

    How To Paint a Car??? Body Guys Help Me Out!!!

    You can actually use 240grit paper or 3M Scotchbrite pads. All you want to do is take the shine away from the old paint. Basecoat/clearcoat systems usually only need 20 minutes or so between coats. This applies even to the clear coat. (I've always used DuPont base/clears and have never...

    Loving your "Obama-nation"? You gotta see this!

    The good news that I'm gleaning from all the stuff he's doing is that he will be thoroughly pissing-off the true Conservatives in this country. That's good news because it will strengthen that "base" and make us much stronger than we are now. (I say me, meaning myself and other p-o'ed...

    Loving your "Obama-nation"? You gotta see this!

    But, he is getting everything he wants. Congress is in his pocket. The media is in his shorts. (Cause they feel a tingling down their leg, when he's around.) 51 Million voters are BLIND. Just wait till one or all of these groups turn on him. We'll see his true colors. (I think he'll try...
