    Pix from my motorcycle wreck last month

    Oh, my, that's some serious road rash right there. Hope you heal quickly and well, so you're back to 100 percent again. I broke my foot in April, I'm out of my cast and into a shoe now, but it still hurts to walk on it. I was told it will take a full year before all the discomfort goes away...

    Who designed the 60’s vintage GT40 ?

    This is my understanding: Ford Contracted Eric Broadley as a consultant since Eric Broadley's shops had built a rear engine V8 powered sports car called the Lola. Ford used 2 of his Lolas as only the 1st TEST MULES for a rear engine Ford Powered car. Broadley spec'd a few components for the...

    How did i do ? 1/2 mile Airstrip run

    I think you can make a much faster run in your FordGT. Listening to your video, it sounds like you are shifting way too soon like at 3000 RPM. You are not raping the engine out completely to 7000 RPM. Your GT has a rev limiter, so you cannot over rap your engine during acceleration and hurt...

    New car sales will plummet and older cars resale value will skyrocket

    I hope you are correct. Appears this California lunacy is creeping into all of our lives instead of staying in California.

    New car sales will plummet and older cars resale value will skyrocket

    What angers me is these reporters don't name the individual who wrote this into the law. The government, Congress, DOT, etc. doesn't do anything. Neither does "they" do anything. It's some individual doing it and we need to identify that person by name. Institutional anonymity breeds very...

    2006 Battery Replacement

    There are many threads asking this same question over and over again. Do a search and you'll find your answer. Nothing new has been developed in years from what has already been discussed. Also, your old battery style is easy to find on Amazon...

    Clamshell bumpers

    Clint, you are correct, the spring bumpers are not designed to be adjusted up and down like the solid bumpers. If for some unknown reason you need more height, just add a couple washers.

    Clamshell bumpers

    Clint my '06 also came with the solid bumpers. My '06 was actually manufactured in Dec '05. So, the spring bumpers must have come after that some time. My spring replacement is Ford part #6G7Z-6343128-A. I don't remember exactly the details of installing it since it was probably 10 years...
