drove the car today with the rebuilt 4spd. its like night and day. shifts are close and tight. I can't believe how bad it was before

I just sold my 1978 Ford Ranger resto-mod on the BaT auction site. it did not meet reserve during the auction, but I did a deal above the reserve with the high bidder after the auction closed. I am active on BaT, and enjoy the commentary. that said, it is just one auction site among many, and...

I was just looking at the rear spoiler. because of the location of the aftermarket antenna, I the spoiler would not fit the other way around. the antenna is in the space made available by the angle of the spoiler. I wonder which was installed first?

is the rear spoiler really on backwards? my car isn't here so I can't go look. BTW, I love louvres. in fact, I should make that my license plate: #iluvlvres

the issue I ran into on my Mex Mach 1 was the linkages that fit for am American 73 Mach 1 were the wrong size for the Mex Mach 1. I don't have details, but it was basically the lengths that are different.

so I finally had my Hurst 4spd shifter sent out for rebuild.  I had my mechanic pull it and ship it to rebuild because I do not have a place to park a car that cannot be driven.  anyway, I knew that pretty much any rebuild shop would need 3-5 weeks for the work.  shifterdoc.com of course told my...

my guess is that it won't meet reserve. I think many guys who have 71-73 cars with decent paint feel that they have at least a $20k car....

its got a replacement motor and some other non-original stuff. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-ford-mustang-11/

its not a question of if, its just a matter of when. my car was a barn find, very original( aka not well maintained or updated) I have broken so many parts over the last 6 months that have resulted in tows, that my AAA is used up for the year. I am creeping up on enough replacement parts...

the only way I would attempt a burn out is if my mechanic would let me do it in his parking lot. that way when I grenade any number of original, crusty parts, I won't need a tow. it will be tempting though, as I am just finishing replacing the u-joints and installing a 3.73 posi to replace the...

when adding power you also need to ensure that everything in your driveline is up to the task, eg. I also just replaced all my worn out u-joints.

I have finally figured out how to get faxes to come through the glovebox without interfering with the blend-door operation or being incinerated by the heater core !!

i believe the holes are there under the headliner around the coat hook. I have not looked yet

for my car, 100mph is purely aspirational. it would be considered a lifetime achievement.

my 73 Mach 1 came with a printer as OEM equipment, but the default language is set to Spanish. how do I change the language setting? also, I am having trouble reaching the paper tray while driving, has anyone found a solution to this problem?

apparently not in Mexico...

i'm now trying to imagine my 73 Mach 1 doing 100mph on the autobahn. I think that would be possible if it was being pushed by a G63 AMG....maybe.

I am also on a journey to boost performance. I already run a 4v carb, so my first step is to install a 3.73 posi. that work should be finished next week. I will see how the new gear feels. if I feel fast enough, I may be done. But, I may have a lifter issue, which means opening the engine...

i ordered a set that looks like that from cjponyparts.com. I have not installed it yet. it claims "bolt in", but on my car, nothing is easy. It takes only 1 corroded factory hole that needs to be retapped, or a problem with a bolt on the bottom end, to turn a 2 hour project into a 2 week...

I think if I needed door tags or build plates etc replicated, I would use Marti because he is respected as legit. I assume he requires documentation before he starts printing off tags, etc
