    Steering rack limiter?

    Does anybody know if there is a steering rack limiter available for our cars? Or if there is another remedy? I need to prevent the front left tire from rubbing on the frame rail when turning it all the way to the left. They complained about it during inspection and it won't pass next time if...

    Our 20th anniversary!

    Yeah, they really screwed that up. The quality of that magazine has been gradually declining for a few years.  But I’m really happy my car was featured in it because this was the magazine we would all drool over as teenagers (one of them at least! ;) ) and I was even more thrilled because it...

    Our 20th anniversary!

    So today I've had my 72 for 20 years exactly. A lot has happened during those 20 years.  she's seen 5 different sets of rims, has been restored, got a new crate engine, an AOD transmission, a new 3.8 rear end, served as my wedding vehicle, has been to Italy twice, Austria, Hamburg, the Dutch...

    One of those twilight zone moments

    There was this guy whose mother died (they were very close) and then he went into a depression which made him distant and withdrawn and which eventually made his (very hot) wife of over 20 years divorce him... so after life threw some more nasty things at him he decided he’d had enough, that the...

    Wide Body

    Yes, that’s Angelos car. You can look up and follow the whole build here on the forum. This is one of my favorite cars ever and Angelo has mad skills and a great eye for details.

    Seeking advice: Good and the bad about 71-73 convertibles

    What Himikiller said. The rockers are zinc (?) coated on the outside so they don't rust where you can see it. They'll look perfectly good but rust from the inside out.  what you don't want is a newly painted car fail inspection 16 months later because the rockers burst open and the rusted...

    Photo Shoot

    The metal on our cars is really strong and can hold a model easily without bending. It all depends on how picky you are with your car but the paint won't suffer either unless she's wearing rivets or something metal that can scratch the paint.   I mean even the fiberglass scoop held her easily. ....

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    I surprised myself by quite successfully fixing some major curb rash on one of my 124 Spiders rims. It's easier than I thought! Nevertheless I'm still proud of myself. ;)

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    I spent the day at the studio with our singer while she recorded some vocals for our new album.... so nothing car related at all... but I’d choose time with her over a car anytime. :)

    Mishaps and stoopid self wounding

    last time something like that happened to me was when I was installing the sport suspension in my 124 Spider. I was trying to loosen the bolt that holds the lower end of the shock absorber in the left front wheel well. The head of bolt is facing toward the front of the car so I have to push the...

    120 to zero instantly see the affect.

    Unfortunately humans are not designed to travel at higher speeds in metal cages where you risk hitting things.  We need to deal with it. Just like you enjoy your bacon on your burger and don’t think of your arteries although you know it’ll kill you eventually.  I drive my Mustang way too fast...

    Clay Bar and Polish

    I love clay bats. It’s the only real car care product I ever use as I hate detailing cars. But clay bars make the job so much easier. Parked under a tree? Clay bar. Bird ****? Clay bar!  Plus they rock when it comes to windshields!!!  Great result on your car!!

    Death Proof

    That’s the one from Kill Bill, the original ***** Wagon. They probably reused that name on the Mustang as a tribute to it.  Death Proof is quite fun to watch.

    FMX to AOD Swap

    So, finally the Mustang is back on the road. Maybe some of you noticed the update on my "idle pressure to high" thread. It turned out it was a stuck valve in the valve body. Once that was taken care of everything went smooth. I'm gonna post both the effect of the swap and the parts we needed...
