    Over the Hood (Bonnet) Pictures

    Lake Geneva tonight at 46 degrees and the droptop still is down. This next week & 1/2 will be the peak for autumn road trips around here. 👍🏻

    More Stupidity with Fire and Gasoline

    We all just played football/baseball with no protective gear until you joined the grade/high school team and had parents sign the insurance doc. Also played Lawn Jarts, and drank from a garden hose after you flushed the warm still water out. Oh how I now cherish the mid to late 70’s.

    Bigger vacuum Brake Booster

    You should call WCCC and have them rebuild your OEM Bendix. Not sure on ‘73 but mine and a few cores I snatched for rebuild are # 9401. ‘73’s were redesigned from ‘1-2 so you will get exactly all you need to run your OEM system assuming you have Rdrum & Fdisc.

    Extended warranty

    I agree with most of everyone’s comments on the extended warranty and I didn’t feel like taking a gamble with our newest addition last year, basically a driving computer and does needs 91 premium (which may have changed my mind before brandon’s decision to start killing FF). Anyway, we rolled...

    New 2024 Mustang

    If we could go back to the late 60’s and if they had a SM platform like today to read the comments it would be astounding what was being said about changes to all the muscle cars going through their evolutions. As for rite now, I have to say the stangs are the sexiest, then camaros, and then...

    My 72 has a white top and plastic window. Out of the 6400ish they built I would have thought there would have been less made with glass…

    Favorite Detailing Products

    I’ve researched issues with these tires as they “are a staple” in quality minus the oils seeping through into the lettering. I did bleach wite them last week with descent results but I’m not into having to rinse and repeat every other week as I enjoy driving her instead of looking at her so I...

    I’m looking for the best product to whiten up my WRL on the brand new Radial TA’s that are turning brown (it is not brake dust) and also the best product to get the chunks of rubber off my lower rear quarters…

    Issue losing power with backfire

    Have you verified your timing? What type of cam do you have? Have you pulled the valve covers to check out the complete valve train? My experience with sudden backfiring was shortly (500 mi) after my (2V replacement) rebuilt long block 4V went in, my FT cam washed out the #2 exhaust lobe and...

    I’m not sure what level of shine you’re looking for but Windex, microfiber towel, and elbow grease keeps mine a shiny daily driver..

    Strange problem close to overheating

    Could that have been the genesis of the “caution fan” sticker, or were too many people just so excited to place their hands all over a performance engine while it was running and losing their fingers? 🤔

    Strange problem close to overheating

    Yes, inspecting it is the way to go. When I swapped out my 2V for the 4V mine checked out just fine and I couldn’t determine if it was OEM or a recall replacement. It does say “Front” on it though, and pulls plenty of air through the 3 core Al radiator and keeps everything at an even 180.

    What did you do to your car today?

    Finally got my 15yr old hoops off of her and the new RTA’s mounted after polishing up the wheels for stick-on magnets. No more ugly weights to clean around. After seeing the misfortunes from others on here with old rubber, I can now “safely” go like hell. Safely. 👌🏻

    Ok, not glamor, but has to be the worse custom ever

    And the comment that the RWL’s location of F&R are perfectly matching and the doors couldn’t possibly open so it must be a cropped pic…
