    Mercedes SL500 seats... go for it or not

    If you can show us some pics that'd help. That's seems really cheap for those seats.

    T-5 swap ?'s for a 65 mustang!!!

    Careful if you have an H pipe. We had to get ours moved to fit the tranny. We went with a McLeod hyrdraulic clutch.

    Delays, delays, delays...!!!

    That's tough luck man. I hope it all turns out well in the end. Just think of your Stang as the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I think I've found my problem...

    I took off the rocker arm that was rotated and pulled the pushrod out. Nice bend to it and there's a big ole crack running along the outside of the bend. The rocker arm was worn down on the opposite end of the pushrod and on the part where it attaches to the stud. This car isn't going...

    I think I've found my problem...

    I took off one of my valve covers to see what was going on after yesterday's events. Facing the engine it is the left bank. The first and last pairs (1st and 4th cylinders) of lifters and pushrods looked fine. The second pair over the second cylinder looked alright, could use adjustment but...

    What to do: Keep car from gettin stolen.

    Yeah, I've most likely got a collapsed lifter and some other problems so if a thief does try to drive off with my car the engine will go before they get anywhere.

    Need help diagnosing a problem...

    If it is the collapsed lifter, would we be able to drive the car to a shop or is it better that we get it towed?

    Need help diagnosing a problem...

    I was driving the Stang today when all of a sudden it started to make a popping sound. The sound got louder when I pressed on the gas pedal. During idle the car shakes pretty hard, too. We've been having a problem with a lifter that's needs adjustment and our compression was a little low. Do...

    What to do: Keep car from gettin stolen.

    LOL, I don't like the Navy Beretta M9s that much either. M16A3s are really nice and smooth though. Personally I'd probably go with a 1911 because its a Colt and I've shot it before.

    Head count from Mustang Round-up........

    I was there, too. Red 66 coupe (really narrows it down doesn't it?). I was near the bottom next to another red coupe with a black top and a green 66. My rims were the silver and black American Racing spiral type. Good times.:)

    What to do: Keep car from gettin stolen.

    One thing I'd like to do is get a GPS bug in the chassis so that if my car is ever stolen I'll be able to find it.

    O.T. Is there a doctor in the house?

    Sometimes I'd have higher blood pressure (but not high) and I'm only 19. I cut most salt out of my diet and that does seems to help, however it'll be easier for you to dehydrate.

    Takes some time for oil pressure to build...

    Once we start the car up it takes awhile for the oil pressure to get up. It finally comes up but only after slowly creeping up. Is this normal and if not what could be causing it?

    JordanVraptor...

    OT, hey JordanVraptor is your Cobra going to be at the Round Up on the 18th? I'd really like to see it.

    Stang is going to need a new motor

    The thing is, we have no idea about this motor where it's been and what's in it. Sure regular oil changes help, but who knows what the previous owner has done. We'll probably try and get it rebuilt but if it's fubar then we'll go crate.

    Stang is going to need a new motor

    We had a compression test so that's how I know we're losing pressure. I'd love to get gobs O power but there's two limiting factors: 1.money 2. rear gears (which goes back to #1). I forgot to mention too that oil pressure is low in the beginning and takes a bit to get up. The engine is just...
