    You got to see it to get the full impact :nice:WTG Emay! Too bad you can't collect royalties from them. I had the good fortune to see and even run a little with both Emay and Heavy's cars a while back. The photos don't do the cars justice. The quality of workmanship evident in the cars is...

    No oil fill cap!

    Check the work, its your car Don't trust anyone working on your car. Mistakes will be made; its human nature and you need to protect yourself and your car. Anytime you have work done on the car, check it yourself when you get home. Tighten caps, check torque specs and fluid levels. I look...

    We should be able to make it there by 10:00. I'll come up I-55. I'm trying to decide if getting off at Rt 59 would be faster than going on to 355 on a Saturday Morning. I know they both can be congested at times. Any advice? PM me some directions to Heavy's if you can. Thanks.

    Wifey wants to go to Ikea Saturday, so it looks like it will be a go for us. Let me know when and where you guys plan to meet up before crusing in and I'll shoot for that.

    Do you have any details on the Open House? Maybe I'll drive up from Bloomington and check it out. It would be cool to meet some of you fellows and check out your rides. :nice:

    Used oil smells like sulphur

    I changed the oil in my 05 GT Sunday. The old oil, Motorcraft Synthetic blend, was in the car for 6 months over the winter and only 500 miles of driving, had a strong sulphur smell. Is this normal or should I be concerned? The oil was very clean looking. The car has 26K miles. Thanks...

    05 GT warranty expires in 3 weeks

    I'm making a list to take to my dealer in advance of my warranty expiration. I figure I'll have them do the air bag recall and check my parking brake cable and change the oil. I have 26,xxx miles on the car. Any suggest for other things to have them take a look at while they have it before...

    Are there still new 07's left on the lot?

    I haven't see any "new" 07's here in central Illinois. There seem to be a boatload of used 05 and 06 V6 stangs on the lots.

    3V Spark plug change hell

    For daily drivers, maybe the thing to do is just not bother them for 100K and budget for a major repair or upgrades at that time. If they come out OK, you win with "mod money" in the bank. If they don't and you have the funds for anticipated repairs/improvements, you still come out ok.

    3V Spark plug change hell

    Hello FORD. Put some antisieze on the plugs during assembly! How much can that cost compared to the time spent on this issue? I’ll take my commission for finding the fix in the form of a new Bullet.

    My new ride!

    I think shaker hood (or is it shakey hood) is standard on these cars. The shaker scoop is extra. :rlaugh: I hope you enjoy your car as much as the rest of us do. Very nice car.
