    Incouringing Future for Mustang?

    Best Car Cover?

    I just bought the Covercraft 5 layer indoor cover because it should hopefully provide some bump and scratch protection from my kids. I know for awhile we used to throw a couple of King sized cotton sheets (lower thread count).

    Thank you! I am pretty pleased with them.

    I finally had the time to get the tires mounted on the rims. I went with 245/60 Front and 255/60 Rear. I am very pleased with the stance and fitment. One day I’ll work up the courage to try 295’s but at this juncture I don’t have the resources to mess around with fitment issues. Thank you...

    To EFI or Not EFI, that, and which one, is the question.

    Good timing for this thread to crop up. I was also thinking about it down the road. Deep in my soul, I’m a romantic so I’m not quite ready to give up the carb. I follow this kid on Youtube and he runs a pretty good channel. He has a 65 with a 289 and FiTech hooked him up with a FI system and he...

    That’s great to hear because I was actually starting to wonder if I should go with 235’s up front. Do you have any pictures of your car?

    I was able to take some time to test fit the wheels. Looks pretty good. The front comes pretty close to the upper ball joint. Also, doe s anyone know what the diameter of the hub is?

    Those look good! I might go with the 255’s to give me just a little more footprint than the 245's. I am afraid of a rub situation with the fender. My suspension is stock and possibly sagging a little. I think eventually I’m going to have to invest in some new leaf springs. Even though this...

    Found a company called “Trans Am Race Engineering that reproduces the Minilite wheels. I bought 15x8 with 4.5BS and received them a few days ago. I’m planning on 245/60’s up front and maybe 255/60’s rear, but I am tempted to try 295/50’s. What do you guys/gals think?

    Those with a T5 5-speed...

    That isn’t mine, YET. That’s a photo capture from a Youtuber named “Autoedit”. He has a video of him operating that shifter and you can get a sense lf where it will sit. It is the one I’m going to choose once I can get my T-5 installed.

    Hurst makes an even larger handle that moves the knob aft. I think it was a 12” but I’d have to check into it.

    NACA HOODS FOR '71 TO '73 MUSTANGS. CORRECT OR INCORRECT!

    Exactly! When it comes down to it, they’re just filling a magazine with words to sell products. Maybe it’s just the inner child in me, but I only read it for the pictures.

    NACA HOODS FOR '71 TO '73 MUSTANGS. CORRECT OR INCORRECT!

    I think people go out of their way to hate on the 71-73 Mustangs, because deep down they love them. 😵‍💫

    71 is back from paint.

    Very cool! The gold rims really look good and different. What size are those?

    Over the Hood (Bonnet) Pictures

    Out for a drive and figured I’d try something different.

    What a surprise!

    Pictures are worth a thousand words.

    Paint Protection Film anyone?

    I’ve been toying with the idea. For myself, I would only do the hood, frontal area, and front fenders. If you have the whole car it can get pretty pricey, around $5000. Xpel is a good brand of wrap that can self heal if it’s damaged.

    Firestone Firehawk Tire

    I had them on my car for a long time. I think they were from the 1990’s. I took my car into a classic car service shop for an oil change and the owner called me and told me he couldn’t believe that the tires hadn’t failed yet. I suppose that’s a testament to the build quality or my luck. They...
