I thought I'd show my solution to sharing garage space with bikes & GT's. Within hours of parking my car in the garage for the first time a couple of years ago I had my kids nearly scraping by with their bikes. Since I don't have the luxury of a private stall I figured damage was just a matter...

Excellent! Thank you all for the info.

I'm going to do the axel bolt & washer changeout on my car and I had a few questions: Is access better from above or below? (I see Ford recommends a lift but it looks like it's better reached from above). If the job is accessible from above, can the wheels be left on and the car rolled to...

I live in the Denver area where we’ll have sand and junk on the roads for at least 6 months a year, even when they’re clear from ice and snow. I wanted fender protection better than the clear films could provide, but I didn’t want something too visible, or needing to modify the car for...

Don't know, but I heard it differently : The ideal torque for any fastener is " 1) tighten until head snaps off, 2) back off 1/4 turn."

Another data point on a late build 05'... no. 1669 (so not quite at the model year end) : typical 05' meshed grille, SS braided hose on the trans, silver brkts on the oil res., suede style bottom edge on the seatback, rubber stops for the clamshell latches, billet machined A arms, and clear...

I would have guessed that these cars had a "black box" chip that records throttle position, speed, rpm, etc for doing accident forensics. Anyhow Fubar, have you found out what's going to happen to your old car - fix or part out ? I would hope that if Farmers wouldn't credit you for your...

Lets put things in perspective. The GT is 1200 lb heavier than the Mark I GT. Hard to imagine how our cars would perform at that weight, but considering how our cars would handle with 12, 100 lb sand bags stuffed in it and on it might help. Performance factor (i.e. handling & braking as well as...

I'm sure someone out there knows how the exported cars were unique from the states cars. Lighting, reflectors, emission controls, speedo & odo?

re: Why not use some clear bra in the same areas? Certainly clear film would be better than nothing, and I agree that if you have the film installed it should definitely be added to the painted fender lip areas directly behind the wheels. However, I suppose it's my own obsession for wanting to...

I hadn't given much thought to making these guards anthing but clear, that is until I saw the carbon fiber ones on the the ZR-1 Corvette prototype. They look purposeful, intentional, and useful. I may try that soon for my GT to gage the looks. Also, depending on interest, I could change the...

My biased opinion on putting on fender guards: I wanted something that works as good as a mud flap but without the detracting looks of them. These guards may not be for southern state cars, but if you live in areas like Denver you might want something better than a clear tape. Here, there’ll be...

Regarding the billet A-arms, I have no. 1669 that was completed in Aug. 05', with rear upper billet control arms.
