    Me too on the OCD thing, but if you actually drive them, you can choose between 1) spend $2-3k on good PPF (paint protection film) and every 10 years redo it, or 2) spend $2-3k every 10 years on a partial repaint of affected panels. Personally, in *most* cases I prefer option 1 because then I...

    First Gen Cars.

    I was talking to Shark; I think he was referring to the plastic over the car (wasn’t insulting your car with that comment) and my joke was also in reference to that: Italians being known for having plastic covers over the furniture. I know my Italian grandparents did that. Anyway, the joke...

    Fantastic! Are you on instagram or is there any place where photos of that can be seen? Along with Fords, I too love vintage Mopars.

    New Member looking for advice about parts for 05 GT

    Looking at your posts here, I can't tell if you are a bot, ignorant, uninformed, confused, or some combination of these. Not sure if you realize this, but you are on a Ford GT supercar forum. This is NOT a Mustang GT forum. It is nice that you are trying to make a helpful post, but bad...

    Catch up on the Impossible GT Project

    The most spectacular post I’ve seen in quite a while! Fantastic job, sir. You are a real credit to GT owners. Thank you for your amazing contributions to development of replacement parts that may benefit many of us for years to come.

    20 lb boost gauge install (Speedhut)

    As I said, that’s just the information that Rich gave me- I never obtained the paint because I found that I could just swap the bezels. You could reach out to Rich and see if he would confirm that paint code. Yes, I swapped bezels between two Speedhut tachometers. Not sure if those are...

    20 lb boost gauge install (Speedhut)

    There IS a set-screw along the side of the temp control dial (low enough on the profile of the dial that you can only access it by removing the center magnesium tunnel/console), and if that is too loose, it won’t engage the knob that adjusts the blend door. But the parts I found loose in my dial...

    20 lb boost gauge install (Speedhut)

    Actually, when I had Rich Brooks (TheGTGuy) do some work on my car prior to Rally X, I had him swap out my (fully functioning) factory gauges with the panel from Speedhut, and yes he did paint them. When I got this boost gauge, I planned on painting it to match, and Rich told me it was DuPont...

    NFGT Trans Cooler

    I would love to see a writeup of your "fix" Brian! Sounds like a good approach, given the description of the problem. No signs of issues with mine so far, but I would definitely be up for a little DIY project like that, BEFORE mine starts to fail.

    Battery removal

    If this were the old GT, we all know the answer would be “check your ground”. Suppose that is the case here?
