    Floor Side Member Panel

    I probably understated the qualifications of the person that told me this (expanding foam) BUT it is their first-person story/technique to tell.

    Floor Side Member Panel

    I believe I understood that some reputable repairers shoot expanding foam into the void and this bonds the rivet heads in place (and/or minimizes the rattling around).

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    I believe its not just the color, its the pearl, etc... I went through this years ago when I had some blemishes touched up. My high-end wheel shop custom blended some and I kept the left-over supply for about 5 or 6 years and then the paint/material became unserviceable. The touch-up was...

    Took GT for the first and probably last time to the track

    Smart! I did NOT do this at VIR in my 2006 and spun at "Rollercoaster"...severely damaging my pride (but not doing any physical damage).

    Speedometer and Tach rebuild

    THANK YOU RICH (and whomever else is working with you) I am assuming that there are a good number of failed ones available. My OEM ones work fine (at 45,000 miles). Please keep us updated if you don't get enough takers/betas.

    Using lift

    I have heard that cars that are rarely driven may have their parking brakes get stuck and my Pantera was one where I used chocks on my 4-post. But I religiously use the end stops/vertical plates AND set the parking brake on my "upper car" on my lift.

    Lens Cover For Front Headlights

    I am not the OP but I talked to Shawn (SW lights) about a year ago. Sounds like you were satisfied with his work. Can you show some before/after pictures of SW's capabilities?

    Lens Cover For Front Headlights

    Welcome aboard...GREAT car BUT headlight replacements have been an issue. New production headlights came and went a few years ago. I have heard (but have no first hand knowledge) that SW Lights, Agoura Hills, California MIGHT be a source for repair.

    05/06 Power Steering Hose Deterioration

    Finally installed my low pressure hose (Thanks Rich). Original hose (45k miles) had a few "weak/soft spots" but was intact...I feel a LOT better now!

    Headlamp Rattle

    I hope GTGuy (Rich) chimes in here BUT I recall someone (I 'm pretty sure it was him) that said the last new build of headlights had a component that rattled and that it was remedied by a small sheetmetal screw installed into the correct location.

    Pulley question

    Three people (one of which was Rich Brooks-GTGuys) did my exhaust by removing clamshell. With one guy lifting/holding on each side and Rich directing and installing the pins...it was straight-forward.

    Pulley question

    I was advised that even just adding K&N air filters could manifest the cross-wind/stall situation. I experienced it twice (once the engine died and once it just stumbled) in strong (coastal) 90 degree crosswind condition at idle (with no forward velocity) at a stoplight.

    Pulley question

    I was doing research last year about cross-wind/MAF/laminar flow and I (thought I) understood it was a very uncommon but "known" anomaly (modified or stock)...experts?

    Pulley question

    I did pully/tune/map/plugs/inlet support...and added a polished Accufab throttle body.
