Do any of you have a recommendation for a tuner in San Diego for a smaller pulley? My warranty is almost up so it is time for an upgrade:thumbsup, but I'm not sure who to take it to. I some reservations about the obvious choice. Craig

Any update on the luggage that Kip was working on? Summer is here and that means road trips. Thanks, Craig

So that's how my bumper caught on fire!!:willy

Excellent work!!! The attention to detail is amazing. They even changed the position of the DC receptacle and the starter button. It is definitely a factory equivalent job. Black/no stripes does really look good. Craig

A friend of mine did 1:29 a couple of weeks ago in a bone stock (including tires) '08 viper. these cars are scary fast. People will die. Craig

The dash is all leather as well as the door panels, and kick panels on the side of the foot well. Craig

It may be a 427, but if it is the original engine it is not a side oiler. Ford start making th side oiler in the middle of the '65 model year. The earliest date code for a side oiler is C5, or 1965. Most people think that "427" and "side oiler" are synonymous, but they aren't. They are both race...

Yes, but did you see my personal favorite, the fully restored powder blue bumper car? Craig

Castrol Syntec 5W-50 meets the Ford spec, is half the price and available at many auto stores. I also learned recently that the GT has an oil/water cooler when the coolant hose suppling the oil cooler burst after being chewed on by some rodent. It instantly dumped all of the coolant. My first...

Lowe's huh? How did you fit those 4x8 sheets in the car...just strap them to the roof? Craig

Has anyone thought of trying to locate the mold? Maybe Ford would let us run a batch using the original mold and shooting it out of glass filled Nylon, which would have a much higher glass transition temp. I suspect it is made out of ABS now. Craig

I ran the 150 class last spring in my stock GT with no problem. I topped off the tank at the staging area just before the start line and used less than 10 gallons to complete the run and drive to the gas station at the end. I was in 6th all the way, cruising at about 3600 RPM, with the windows...

I thought a video was to be posted. Is there any data/photos/video demonstrating the failure that is supposed to be remedied? It would be really nice if this was the magic bullet that killed the track overheating problems. Craig

Thanks for the leads. I'll follow up next week. The race is Oct 6-7. It is on the Naval Air Station on Coronado. It is a very nice event. Something like a low key Monterey, and produced by the same group, General Racing. Here is a link to their page...

Does anyone know of a GT40 in the San Diego/Orange County area? We are looking for some particular cars to display at the Coronado Vintage race in San Diego in October. Craig

My inside pane of the firewall glass has broken on both sides.:frown The drivers side seat hit it when reclined and caused a break on that side while the other just broke on it's own 12 months later. Has this happened to anyone else? There should be a stop on the fire wall (other than the glass)...

I have FORD WMD in California. A bunch of drunk women came out of a bar after having a little too much to drink and thought that I was a gynecologist named Ford. :biggrin I offered to do an exam, but they all politely declined. :thumbsdow Craig

GOT ROOM? Seriously A good time to try for a room if you can't get one now is 30 days before the event as many rooms are reserved "just in case" and the cancellation policy at most place that weekend is 30 days in advance. Some place may even have a waiting list. Craig
