Dodge Dart. Extra rust. Hold the oil. And through a process similar to petrification, all seating surfaces were slowly replaced by duct tape.

Yes, the empty nester thing is a tough one. I just hit that stage myself. Daughter graduated from UC Santa Barbara a year ago, son is graduating from Cal next year, youngest son entered UC San Diego this year. It's shocking that they're out of the house. All so fast. My personal guidance is to...

+1. What's the new coefficient of scraping? I lowered my Porsche to GT3 height and it scrapes quite often. But the splitter is durable and I don't mind fixing/replacing it. I just couldn't stand that with the GT. And what new coilovers did you have installed? What are your impressions? Thx, P.S...

Geez, my son is over at Cal finishing up his economics major (along with math and stats majors). He's an aspiring economist. What should I tell him? :)

Some time back I had a Safecraft halon system installed in my GT (thank you Shadowman). While looking over the car recently, I noticed that the pressure in the halon bottle had dropped in to the red/low zone. I contacted both Shadowman and Don Warren over at Safecraft and both conferred and...

Agree with EP. My OEM charger has never been out of the package. The price/performance winner is the basic Battery Tender which is attached to my GT most of the time. Also, one of our forum sponsors builds a permanent install kit for it that hangs a charge port plug out of the front grill. Very...

Man, you could do some light welding with the output of those things. But really impressive work. Wow.

Though I tend to be a bit of a 'belt and suspenders' kind of guy, it hasn't stopped me from racing karts, sailboats and motorcycles, parachuting and flying aerobatics. But I have a halon system in my car less to protect the car (though I'm glad it does) but more because, keeping it in the...

Torrie, I'm looking to purchase a shop and wiring manual for my 2005 FGT. Can you help? Thanks, Rich

That is an unbelievably beautiful piece. I suspect if I have to ask... :) BTW CJ428, I have endless admiration for the work you've done on your car. I could only dream.

Happy birthday EP!

Is the part GT-specific? If so, would you mind informing us all of the p/n? I'm not a part hoarder at all, but this might be something to keep in reserve.

'...when it is not at home.' ? Who ever would have thunk?

Great photo Chip. Very nice.

FWIW, I just snapped a new set of brake 'ducts' on to my 997. The reason for the quotes is that, unlike true ducts piping air in from the front end, these affix on to the lower leading edge a-arm, and just route air that is rushing by that piece in to the direction of the nearby disk. Simple...

Zactly!

I found the pockets the first hour I owned the car. Reason is that I had pre-ordered a set of replacement mats so that I could store the original/classic/easily_marred stock mats. I'd strongly recommend the stock ones get put away. They look like they get ruined in a moment. But between the...

Yes, whoever the individual was (or were) who purchased 'F' in the '1's' made a very shrewd move. And Alan Mulally is really proving to be an impressive leader. Unlike the other 'big 2', Ford will really provide a pure test of whether the american buyer will reconsider Detroit products when...

I just want to offer a counterpoint. Per the thread in which members rated their dealers, I've been pleased with the work performed by the Ford dealer in my area. Granted it was only the basics - oil, interior bits recall, axle bolts (less basic), and from what I can tell, the FGT certified tech...
