    Cleaning out stuff

    Sold some property where I had a few cars stored. Had to let some stuff go I intended to keep a while longer but now that they are gone - it isn't so bad. Two of the things I got rid of were Mustang parts cars. One, a 73 Mach 1 that had definitely seen better days and the other a 71 hardtop...

    Track days - brake abuse

    Was reading Tony-Muscle's post about 100+ mph lift and shake at a track event. Reminded me of some fun I had a few (MANY) years ago. Back in about 1981 or '82, I was participating with the Boss 351 in some Shelby Meet speed events. See my avatar pic. After a day of running on Hallett...

    Dog dish caps

    I'd like to get some opinions  on how the caps were offered originally.  Did they always come with trim rings?  If no, what identified whether they did or not?  Maybe build sheet notation or?   And when (if ever) did the wheels get painted body color? Please keep this discussion to our 71-3...
