Thanks for the heads up. Curious what the rough mileage of the two cars are.

I'm not too familiar with the Houston C&C. Never lived there but have family in Spring and get there a few times a year. Is the C&C at the Vintage near Spring the one you meet up at or is there another closer to downtown?

So I hear the Lucas factory closes at 3......So they can get home before dark. (insert rim shot noise here)

I'm with you Tony. Taking still-good parts with you borders on the most selfish thing possible IMO.

That's a coincidence. I also had a speedo stuck at 40 which gave me the excuse I needed to recently do a Speedhut set. I worked with Jessica at Speedhut to help me replicate the OEM's: not a perfect match but close...

I'm thinking when I'm ready for my next car I'm going to go with something more practical like this: http://youtu.be/MDU5BU_qSJU

Mike- just caught your news today too. Glad to hear you're apparently doing better than what could have been. Hope it's all just a memory by summer, you're going to need to stay spry to un-wedge out of that 7/8 scale car of yours. I'll be anxious to see the mods on the GT. Take (better) care. Jim

Thanks Jeff. I'll PM with info later.

Jeff, A response to a post of mine suggested that I contact you. I have a stripeless blue 05' and I'm wanting to find out how many in 05' were built with the same options as mine. I have the authenticity package but as you know that tells me how many stripeless blue's with red calipers were...

I'd like to find out how many GT's were built with the same options as mine, but the "Authenticity Certificate package" only lists the quantities of a single option per color and stripe. So for example in my case I see that there were 11 no stripe blue cars in 05' made with red calipers, but of...

I like it. Hard to beat for the money, even if you can only use it on the front end.

Dave, The jack points in the rear are 24.0 in. center to center, the jack points for the front are 34.0 center to center. Even though the span is quite a bit bigger up front the same size tube 3x3 x .25 wall will work fine since there's less weight on the front points.

One of the best BJ bargains I saw was the restored 70' Boss 302 that went for $57k, the worst (disregarding the Batmobile) was the hot rodded 70' Mach I for $315k. All logic out the window on both of those sales.

I'm good with a 14 month calandar: Feb 2013 - April 2014. To heck with tradition.

I've had the OEM muffler in and out a couple of times (long story). Not only did I find it necessary to remove the clamshell (really a 3 person job - 2 hands on each side and another hand to pull the hinge pins. You'll find that the shell needs to be almost closed to get the pins out. It's...

Well if satisfying your OCD behavior means "another take" up the canyon I guess that's a sacrifce that we'll have to make. Sounds like we'll have to wait about more 5 months for the chance, but I'm a patient person and the canyon will still be there. Dang it's going to be a loooong Winter.

Now THAT'S why we own these things - using them as God had intended. I think had I had a camera on my car 200 yards back the sound of those open pipes on your GT-40 would have still drowned out my car. Great memories, great video!

Scary. Truly scary. I don't think I'm going next year unless there's promise of booth babes.

That's great info. Do you know how many mA the factory trickle charger is good for?

Finding the right gear is actually pretty simple once you remember one thing. Of the 3 vertical gates (1-2, 3-4, 5-6), the shifter will naturally detent to the middle of the 3-4 gate when it's pulled between any of those pairs of gears and released or relaxed. Then once you're "home" its easy to...
