    Document Storage

    Any suggestions on where to store registration papers and insurance card? Currently in an envelope in the passenger footbox webbing (storage behind the seats would mean I would have to exit the car to reach them)... Thinking about sewing up a leather or fabric pouch with elastic straps to...

    Instrument Cluster Binnancle Removal

    If I had an extra gauge panel with nothing attached (circuit boards, odometer, wiring harness, etc.) I would have attempted to trim it down. But after seeing all the places that filings could “hide”, I wouldn’t do it.

    Instrument Cluster Binnancle Removal

    Pulled my dash yesterday and replaced all the small gauges... finished it off this a.m. Biggest problem for me was disconnecting the (2) electrical connectors; top one went ok, but the bottom was a bear. Probably had 45 minutes and two "time outs" to cool down and get blood flowing back into my...

    Removing wheel covers on standard wheels

    Here is the final design/3D print of the tool... copies heading out tomorrow to the members that helped me refine it. I have requested a quote from a local 3D printing company, if the cost comes back as reasonable, I will offer them for sale on this site (not sure if I have permission?) at cost...

    Removing wheel covers on standard wheels

    I should probably be thanking my wife - she's the one who has to hold the camera and indulges me on this stuff :) All (4) parts are spoken for - thanks for the interest!!! Dan

    Removing wheel covers on standard wheels

    Actually, I was just getting ready to saw some blocks like your tool and then thought it would be a good project for the 3D printer... 9 hours of print time, ugh. I printed off 5 parts and am keeping 1 for myself... if anyone wants one please PM me. The filament was already paid for from a...

    Removing wheel covers on standard wheels

    Got bored on Tuesday (winters in Ohio, sigh...) and designed/3d printed a removal tool... included a square hole in the center for a 1/2" socket wrench extension in case the nut needed a little "persuasion". Sorry about the photobucket watermark... only way I can post photos is with a http...

    Early Christmas Present - 4 Post Lift

    Special K - did you order their optional jack? If you did I'd be interested in what you think of it after you get the lift installed. 2112 - My Revology is a very early production car (#009) so while it was a great car as delivered, they've continued to make improvements on it... the last few...

    Early Christmas Present - 4 Post Lift

    Specracer, Here is a video from my YouTube channel of the golf cart... the modifications seemed like a good thing to do at the time, as I mentioned... wine was involved. Every winter I modified something on it. The final addition was the Garmin GPS - they had them at Walmart for about $70 and...

    Early Christmas Present - 4 Post Lift

    Thanks! That's my man cave/shop... in the corner is a small machine shop to tinker around in, with a loft above it with a couple recliners and TV/stereo to chill out in. Never set out to have all white w/blue stripes... in 2016, while I was waiting for the Revology GT350 to get done, it hit...

    Early Christmas Present - 4 Post Lift

    Thursday, the crew from Automotive Lift Service was out to install my Advantage DX-9000-XLT 4 post lift. Had to go with a 110v lift as I don't have 220v available without some rewiring. I was waffling between BendPak and Advantage largely because the Advantage lift wasn't ALI certified. Was...

    License plate for when people ask, "What is it?"

    I went the simple route; was able to get "05 Ford"... almost went for "05 4RD GT" Dan

    Battery availability and cost

    A previous owner installed a Motorcraft battery BXT90T5590 - I don’t know why that battery was chosen... I will be switching to an Optima over the winter. As a side note, I've already got a Optima Digital 1200 charger/maintainer which has a special port and cable (w/ring terminals) strictly for...

    Pricing in next 5 years?

    I say go for it! Got mine in early October with 1048 miles... put it away Saturday with over 2500 miles. Given my perfectly unblemished record of losing money on every car, boat and home that I've ever owned, I didn't even think of buying it for the investment value. Getting it initially on...

    2006 Ford GT Oilpump and Serpentine Belts

    Thanks for the correction, the math seemed off - should have worked it through a couple more times before posting. I see where I went wrong;. my math assumes a sprocket circumference of 2.375 ft, sigh... so the good news is that the belt is well within the rim speed specs given by the tech...

    2006 Ford GT Oilpump and Serpentine Belts

    I'm assuming that the oil pump is running at engine rpm, which I recognize now is a really bad assumption

    2006 Ford GT Oilpump and Serpentine Belts

    I contacted Continental yesterday about the y-720 belt... was curious if there were any specs, specifically rpm and minimum sprocket diameter that might be helpful to our discussion. (Disclaimer - I don't know what the sprocket diameters are on the GT). Their reply can be found below, their...
