I think my son and I will jump in and drive out there barring any other issues. What color is the 72? I would like to meet you since you live 15 miles away and your car will be easy to spot. I have some work to do on the interior to have it ready for action. I have carpet, sound deadener...

I expected around 2 grand ish and that is what prompted the question. It all needed to be fixed and hopefully when I get my car everything runs perfect. I figured the 90 bucks an hour covered all the shop costs and benefits. I run a 40 million dollar business and I wish I could bill 90 bucks...

O'k, thanks. Now lets just hope it runs like a beast. It needs to because my 8500 dollar car will hit 15000 tomorrow

Cam turned out to be o'k but replaced with milder one, valves were jacked on 4 exhaust valves. Guides not reamed properly(he suggested) most likely and stuck partially open. Bent push rods on open valves. Heads were completely torn down and rebuilt, all exhaust valves replaced, not sure...

My only question is, does this sound like 1800-2000 dollars worth of labor content? That would be about 20-24 hours in my mental book and that seems like a lot of hours to do what needed to be done. They had my car 2 months and he is supposed to have reduced the bill for the 6 weeks of extra...

I had my car in the shop and I am finally picking it up tomorrow and the price seems a bit on the high side. The following items were done. Should this cost 3 grand? Top end removed and rebuilt with new valves. Timing chain, cam and lifters replaced(I bought parts) New axel seals on rear...

I had an 87 Mustang GT that would do 160 all day. I put all 120K miles on it on the autobahns of Germany so it spent atleast 60K over 120 and many times closer to 140. I sat at 3600 rpms at 140. 4th gear was the way to go if you really want to go fast The clutch was hell in a traffic jam. No...

The Goolsby car is pure art. I have 17's on my car and it has a serious effect on ride comfort. I suspect 20's leave the suspension even harder. You sacrifice ride with these big wheels and tires that don't support the antiquated suspension.

That is certainly low and a GXP is usually even more pricey depending on how proud the owner is. Do you know what kind of price range it was in? I just turned my Regal turbo lease in today and my Mustang is supposed to be my daily driver. Hope it is finished Monday.

Looking for a low mileage Pontiac g8 gt for the same reason. They hold value really well. an 09 still goes for about 20K. I will have one soon. I like it.

I am mind boggled at the sheer enormity of what you are undertaking. My car would be a complete mess if I cutoff anything and attempted to put it back on. You have some pretty useful skills indeed.

Looks like a good project. Engine is pretty, hope it is a beast.

I like it but I am not sure I would cough up that much money for a tribute car. I like the color and 17's for sure.

They are what people are willing to pay. I would not buy a car from them because on the show they show all the corners they cut. A lot of money for a half a$$ car.

Might be a bit much for a car but great for a bike.

They sold one of the Hemi Cuda verts at Seattle Mecum for 3.5 million and the seller about cried because he put the reserve up so high so nobody would buy it. His strategy did not work and he was bummed out in the end...

Don't buy cheap tools because you will spin the teeth right off of them. I had to buy the 40 and 45 for my Harley Rotors. Wonder why they did not use the same bolts on both.

I have a t40 and a t45 in my tool box and I am pretty sure it is one of them, I will go out and check back in shortly. Mine is sitting on the garage floor so it should be easy if I can find the tool. Update one minute later. It is 100% a t45 on my car. Just tried it.

You need the heads because the rest of us want them and don't have the jack for them laying around.

I like it in competition orange. I may have to get one with Recaro seats and a 6 speed.
