I find Facebook pretty much useless when it comes to a technical discussion or sharing "how-to's" - it's just about OK for "conversational" subjects that can go off in any direction (including downhill, which seems to be really common on that platform). Dedicated forums are just more productive...

Nothing wrong with the FMX, it's actually pretty durable. The only down side is parts availability, but I believe it could be built to handle the power. Having said that, anything approaching 500 HP deserves a second look, and should consider maintenance down the road. An appropriately built...

I missed it, so just caught up on the link you provided. Brought back a lot of memories working at Edwards AFB back in the 90s - The B-2 was a common sight flying over the flightline. I was stationed at Wright-Pat, and then later at Edwards AFBs, assigned to an R&D-oriented aircraft (ARIA) for...

Look for the simple things first - check anti-sway bar links, if too loose, they can rattle a little.

Kevken - I have the TMI one-piece headliner, and as far as I can recall, the tack strips are unnecessary. The back edge is tucked under the rubber window gasket. Also - the headliner does NOT come with pre-cut holes for seat belts or coat hooks. However, the holes for the sun visors were...

I used to do model building - then got into life-size models (cars). I will still occasionally grab a model kit and work on it though. For a long time I was into working out and basketball, but too lazy now. I do still hit the gym, but not as intensely as in the past. The last year or two, I...

Just my opinion - many may not agree. I think the frame connectors are needed if you believe the integrity of the body/frame has degraded or you are planning on tracking the car. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, they will stiffen the chassis up and improve the rigidity of the...

Assuming the 8" rear end is in good shape, and at least a refreshed suspension, 370 HP at the flywheel is not at all excessive for this car. Too many people assume an 8" reaer end is weak - its not as strong as a 9", but its still good. Just make sure the brakes, suspension, any degraded...

I understand where you're coming from, but you don't need to pay prices like that just to be period correct, either visually or as intended by Ford. Like I said, some items listed are probably well worth it- others are not, especially if you ever start and/or drive your car - like a $150 vacuum...

I'm sorry - sure there are real valuable items in that collection, but some of that is just price gouging.

Bring the cherry picker in from the side, you can reach the engine that way.

I've always used a 4-post for the reasons Mister 4X4 and GMHale outlined. As for cost, they are really not expensize if you want to do a little research. I've been using Titan 7000-Lb lifts for my cars. When I moved 5 years ago, I knew I would be putting a new one in the new house's garage...

looks like a 1970 to me

That will do the trick (I did it) but you still need to add a couple things. You need the Maverick MC, its well suited for this application. I bent my own lines between the MC and the stock distribution block. I had to add a residual valve and an adjustable proportioning valve in line with the...

Parts are sold: Steering wheel and Horn Pad The pad needs dyed, which is very doable. Not sure about painting the actual wheel, since it only appears to come in black.

Welcome from Marysville Ohio - nice stable.

TO correct the misalignment in the 2nd picture, you almost have to have the stock 351C AC bracket/pedestal with the sanden adapters I linked to above. When I reconfigured mine with the idler pulley, this was the only way I could see to get the belt to run straight. It looks like you have the...

This mounts a sanden compressor onto a factory AC pedestal. You will need a factory idler for tension adjustment, and probably a factory 3-groove crack pully. You will also need this adapter to help stabilize the idler and bolt it to the top of the compressor. The same company does sell the...

I don't have a picture, and actually recently rearranged mine. Initially, I had the CAA compressor sharing the water pump and power steering belt. The Alternator had its own belt off the crank pulley (so I had a 2-groove crank pulley and single-groove water and PS pulleys. It worked pretty well...

If you are looking for a turnkey kit, CAA (Classic Auto Air) is the only company I am aware of that makes a drop-kit with everything you need. I'm using it and it does work really well. The only grip I have is that the controller looks like its out of a late 80s or early 90s model car. I...
