    New Owners: Insure Axle Bolt Upgrade has been Performed!

    I followed-up on this after reading this warning (again). My bolts are silver and the paint lines up so I was concerned. I found the attached in my paperwork...should I be good to go?

    Chip, Biff, and a Husky

    I was West Coast (Miramar/San Diego) Biff as opposed to east coast (preppy) Biff! And by the way, Anthony Edwards (movie Goose) was cool about trying to learn the ways/roles/actions of a RIO.

    Chip, Biff, and a Husky

    He had some (actually cool modern versions of what the Navy/Tomcat had) BUT I did NOT get to try one out.

    Chip, Biff, and a Husky

    I recently had the pleasure of taking a sight-seeing tour/flight around the greater Phoenix area with world-famous, aerobatic pilot (and multi-GT owner) Chip Beck! I have a little experience from the backseat of tactical jets but flying so "analog" is a completely different perspective. The...

    Looking for a low mileage GT

    I bought a manual shift car from a former Apollo 7 astronaut when his knees would no longer let him use a clutch...talk about seeing "mortality".

    Looking for a low mileage GT

    Can not clear CEL Check engine light ?

    We also carried it in the TomCat (for those pesky warning lights during night carrier landings).

    OH NO! I rurnt my car

    SORRY to hear that. I would get high quality swirl remover/polishing compound and try to remove any marks that can be polished out. I too have not been happy with my touch-up technique on other cars...but a pro shop may be able to do it (on a mirror as opposed to a panel).

    Which GT to buy?

    I wanted one (Gulf heritage colors) because of the iconic 68/69 LeMans wins (plus I went to UofF). My wife did NOT like the colors and the associated premium $s inhibited me. Every time I used Google Images for Ford GT a tungsten grey with stripes showed up and when I saw it in person I knew...

    Looking for a low mileage GT

    I had two Buddies with red GTs (both with white stripes). I am not a "red sports car" fan...BUT the red is stunning in person.

    Which GT to buy?

    I can imagine that low mileage GTs might not have a lot/any maintenance records (as they may not have required any). Even with 46,000 miles on my GT, the maintenance book/log is sparse.
