    Place to Avoid: Jamison Auto Group in Gulfport, MS

    Okay team, this is going to be along one like the good ole days. To give the business full credit, they worked REALLY HARD to earn this novel I'm about to share with the team. If you want to blow through SEVERAL thousand dollars getting some minor work done, I've got the place for you. The...

    Ready to be hit in Sarasota...You know guys Im ready to move. Evbery year gets worse

    Hey, praying for you. Lisa and I lived 5 years in Sarasota, and it was paradise. We moved about 10 years ago. Her parents are still there in the Hammocks. They're hunkered down. On the bright side, their house built like a tank, and they're in a high priority area for power restoration. I...

    '65 Tremec 5 speed shifter ideas?

    I've got a TKO 5 speed in my '65, and the shifter feels pretty sloppy. What would you guys recommend as a replacement?

    Anyone run a canik?

    Yeah, I've had a Canik Rival for several months and have 1k or 2k through her. REALLY like the gun! It's pretty much the "easy" button for shooting. Here's what I like: Pros Gun is accurate and reliable. I've had zero failures that were the gun's fault. Had a few FTF due to crap ammo...

    Updates . . .

    Yeah, my '65 is getting a little work done, and then the guy and his son are going to bring her to me in Mississippi. Gut feeling, it's an excuse for them to come to Cruising the Coast, so I figure the delivery will be the weekend before it starts. LOL.

    Updates . . .

    Hey Team! Yeah, gonna' try and come back more often. :) I don't have anything new ordered. I'm still REALLY liking my little turbo MKX right now! I'm going to take a couple of years to get things going here in Mississippi, and then, eh, I may go looking. :)

    Updates . . .

    Hello Family! Yeah, I know, long time no see! But I'm alive! And so is Lisa! Updates: We just moved from Texarkana, TX to Biloxi, MS . . . or we're at least in the process. We close on our house the 13th. I've moved to a new company down here on the coast making rocket motors (yeah, I'm a...

    Wheels / Tires for 1965

    Okay, I've had Cragar S/S's since 1986, and I figure it's time for at least a minor change. I'd still like something pretty and chrome, classic-ish if you will. I like the Torque Thrust line from American. They're cool, but I'm curious if there's something else out there that's good but...

    Tremec and the 65 Mustang

    Okay, long time before an update, but here goes . . . The transmission works great . . . no problems. It's REALLY WEIRD having a 5th gear in my girl. I got on the interstate, cruised up to 3k RPMs and relaxed . . . and then I remembered I have another gear. Wow . . . dropped to 1,800 and...

    Sticky: I6 to V8 conversion

    If we're just talking "light" and smooth, what about a 302, aluminum heads, and a really nice, programmable aftermarket EFI? Put a REALLY conservative, efficient cam in it, a nice TKO transmission, and some 3:1 rear end gears? Add an aluminum driveshaft and some intelligent but efficient...

    Sticky: I6 to V8 conversion

    Okay, there are JUST OPINIONS, okay? I'm not an expert on the "weight of things" per se. 1. Don't laugh, but the original I6 setup, all things considered, could be the way to go. It's got zero electronics, nothing "extra", and an old school I6 will run and run and run. If you REALLY want to...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    You can download the .45's pretty good, and the rifles are probably chambered for the same round. The .45 LC is a really versatile round. You can load them to nothing or jack them up into the hefty magnum range. There are even a few loadings called "Ruger Only", and they're beefy. I haven't...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    Yeah, I started reloading about 10 years ago (for myself . . . been making munitions since the 90's). I swore I'd never do it, but my father-in-law gave me a Glock 20C for Christmas (he knew I was fascinated with the 10mm), and I got hooked. I was okay buying commercial ammo for it, but the...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    LOVE ".40 Long" guns. I believe that one is actually a delayed blowback action, so it reduces the recoil even more. It's just pricey. I've got several of the pistol chambered AR's (9mm and 45), and I want to do a 10mm because I shoot (a lot) of 10mm, but I haven't gotten to it, yet. I'm...
