    runs in the paint

    The key is to use the razor blade to cut down the run before sanding and buffing. Eastwood actually sells a tool that like a wood planer for this. Remember slow and steady wins the race. Good Luck

    Killing drone by moving mufflers

    '91 GT weak cylinders

    I agree you need more diagnosis. Did the car run fine before your tune up? what was the compression in the "weak" cyclinders/good cylinders? How many miles on the engine? Did it over heat because it was low on water? Check the oil and water as stated. Could be you have a couple of weak...

    I have a MM panhard bar on my 86 GT. I just replaced the dyno max with a new set of dyno max, no problems with fitting with either set, the first set finnaly rusted out and needed to be replaced. The 86GT uses the straight pipes like later model LXes. 2 1/2 inch size. I'm happy with the setup.

    93 GT Taillights

    Agree, masking and painting is not to bad, just use good tape. 5.0 resto may still carry them but they were pricey and still usually had to be painted to match your color
