Thought I would get this out here since it is a pretty easy upgrade and only takes about 20 minutes. The direct drive fan works great for cooling but isn't exactly performance friendly. Upgrading to a modern thermostatic clutch fan will net a few easy horsepower and quiet down the engine a...

Another easy one but this one isn't so much for power. Our cars came with a tube that just dumps coolant on the ground which is bad. I am not a Environmental Nazi, but dumping coolant on the ground is bad for the earth and unsafe. Bottom line is if you ever go to the drag strip or you get tired...

Something often overlooked during a build. But can be the death of a great machine. Here is a great article on fasteners. Worth a read. I know I learned alot. This is archived over at Pirate 4x4 a great sight with alot of knowledge. Originally Published in Xtreme Offroad Magazine Issue #1...

I will continue to edit and improve this as I work on it. For those that don't know at this time our Ram Air Flapper Actuator is not reproduced. At one point it was but who ever made them stopped. That leaves us a problem. Either paying to get replacement originals(crazy priced). Perogie...

I didn't see it in the chain but is it a lightning truck? If so I stick to the well knowns for work and not a stealership. Tasca is great for a reasonable price on true oem parts so you don't get screwed with cheap China knockoffs though. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Look at the size of a Mustang today and then you really get the idea of how perceptions have changed over the years. Our cars were considered huge as a Mustang. 1971 Exterior Measurements WIDTH 6 ft. 2.1 in. (74.1 in.) HEIGHT 4 ft. 2.1 in. (50.1 in.) LENGTH 15 ft. 9.51 in. (189.51 in.)...

If you have driven a Lincoln or other comparable land yatch of that era I think the sizes work out.

Same here I have seen that car multiple times in the past and yes it does seem to have been for sale for a while.

Yup those damn collapsible spares are a pain in the ***. Mine has one also don't see them much anymore. Always a pain in the *** and never air available when ya need it.

On a side not I want to give a shout out to Calvert Racing. Many know exactly what I am talking about but in recent years, but some may not have noticed, many parts I have purchased for various vehicles have been been infected with a minimalist attitude. IE under engineered to the maximum. Using...

I love how the new wheels fill the wheel well right out. Just to much black on the old setup.

I finally got time today to get her out from under the cover and install the shoes. I still have to install the progressive rate 1" lowering springs up front and roller perchs also. I will report back once I get some ride time on them on how they feel. All the research paid off and they fit real...

I got my repro grill from Don and it is real nice. From what he said they are made out of a better material also. So they are a bit mire durable than the originals.

Infamous 71 Hurst 4 speed shifter boot that always splits and was only used in one year

Fug the damn Roush I am in for more LTD PRON. Engine bay and stuff. Have you done any work to the rear suspension?

Personally you could not talk me into giving that car up. My dad is restoring a 67 Galaxie right now and they are great cars for the age. One of my favorite non-sports car drivers. 3 Link suspension which makes them drive awesome and a punchy V8 with a little work. I am a huge fan of the new...

Are they being installed on a convertible or a hard top? Is it showing sagging already?

New pullies are on the way. In the home stretch only weeks away from coming home. Still collecting parts but I am at the 90% solution right now. Amongst a new hobby I am picking up and the wife is buying a house in Kentucky...

Love my Millermatic 135 great for small time work and body stuff. When I get settled in someday to my own place I will worry about a larger one. Craigslist is your friend. I got mine cash in almost brand new barely used condition with an almost full bottle for $400 with multiple spools and...

Had a rare option this weekend and got to go to the movies while deployed. It was Interstellar or John Wick. Went with John Wick because reviews were mixed on Interstellar. A few from our group were still trying to wrap there head around Interstellar for while after watching it. Good movie the...
