    Getting ripped off...

    oh, Dooh :bang: Should have done my homework :bang: Well it looks like this guy's pissed off enough people that the FBI or Postal Service might take this seriously. I reckon it's a good day for a lynching...I'm starting up a posse

    Getting ripped off...

    Well, I need some advice. I've been waiting and waiting for a rear spoiler I ordered from this guy and it's been over a month. I sent him a Money Order in good faith but it looks like I was stupid. I was really surprised because he seemed really sincere (so said the virgin on her first night out...

    Suspension Upgrade/Rebuild Questions

    I've been planning this for awhile. :rolleyes: Thing is I don't want to go ahead and try something and then hate myself later. Right now my suspension is pretty much original, other than the balljoints, strut rods and tierod ends, which have been replaced. I've looked at the tubular kits...

    Iacoca's opinion in Mustang Monthly

    These guys make their living on being *******'s. After I wrote that editor a rebuttal, he emailed me back with a string of boring, prewashed rhetoric defending his stupid opinion. It's obvious that these guys spend the entire day with their heads up their own asses sniffing at what their editor...

    Anyone in here a Writer????

    And what's the cash reward? I do a little hobby writing - I'd like to say I'm a writer, being someone who writes but not someone who does it professionally. But am I good? I guess that depends on what your looking for. I can't write for "the man". Has to be from my own perspective, from the...

    Mustang Shop

    I get the same old story. It's hard to find parts for these cars. That's what makes them so much more special than average mustangs. But it would be great to have more reputed dealers available on-line. It would cut down on dependance with making desparate deals with Joe Blow who may or may not...

    How can I make my drive smoother?

    I'd have a look at the front suspension bushings and see if the rubber is good. Go for a polygraphite kit from PST or Energy Suspension. http://www.p-s-t.com/home.html I know my suspension is shot - need the full kit + springs - and I'm just dieing :p to spend some bucks upgrading it. I...

    Chrome trim removal?

    Cool. How about the piece on top of the door? It seems different or is it same thing?

    Chrome trim removal?

    what the f....??? I hope that comes with instructions. I got the piece above my windshield off with a little jiggle wiggle. Some of the clips appear worn and don't fit snug on the rivets so I'm going to have to figure how to reattach the piece. Maybe a little of that 2 sided tape. Thanks...

    Chrome trim removal?

    Is there a way to take off the trim that goes around the windshield/rear window, drip edge above the door, top of door, etc. I'm wanting to paint underneath but don't want to ruin these parts which are almost impossible (anything is possible for $$$) to find these days.

    speaking of what it's worth

    sounds steep but nice work. What style of chin spoiler is that? Is that the more expensive style one on Mustangs Unlimited site? Obviously a labor of love so I can see why he's holding out. I'd be looking at his engine work to make a final decision and still wouldn't want to give what he...

    I emailed the jerk back! Here's what I wrote... "I don't know what you have against the Mustang II but frankly your statement in your article makes you sound like an idiot to a sizeable population of Mustang II enthusiasts. Since I am a Mustang II enthusiast, I don't appreciate someone...

    Just screwing up my carb settings...

    Thanks for the info. I'm going to try the choke adjustment tonight. I've tinkered with my fast idle. Problem I've had is that there seems to be several different stages of "cold" and if the fast idle is set to run around 1000 rpm at the coldest engine state then it usually ends up around...

    Just screwing up my carb settings...

    I'm going to ask this at the risk of sounding stupid. Is it possible to increase the richness of the fuel mixture related to the choke setting on a cold engine? The choke has a black dial that says rich > lean <. It has adjustment screws. Does my answer lie therein? Will the mixture lean out...

    Gone to the paint shop......

    Looks good! Hey, functional hood scoop...cool! I'll be walking the same road soon, with painting (after numerous hours of elbow breaking work!). I think about it wistfully all the time. Seems so far away! Good to see anouther II being restored to glory!

    By the way, if you think a mouthful of gas tastes bad, try a mouthful of carb cleaner eeeaaCCCHHH!! :barf:

    Needle valve

    Ok. I nailed it. Took off the top of the carb and stuck the little extension tube from the can of carb cleaner right in that little valve. Squeezed the trigger - slow at first and then full blast, then again and again and AGAIN :uzi: :lol: Turns out there there were no little springs popping...

    Needle valve

    The learning has been ongoing and I'm always willing to take on necessary projects. But I've learned not to tempt fate. Don't take big steps until you've taken baby steps first. A moment spent in preparation is worth a thousand spent in recovery, yadayada you get the point :D Thanks for the...
