    Happy Thanksgiving turkey cooking debate

    So the last year or so has made us pretty thankful for having great folks around. This being a time to have family and friends around, and knowing some folks won't have an opportunity to relax with their people, V and I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Secondly, I know we can talk...

    Does anyone still daily a fox?

    Due to recent life events I'm no longer driving 45 minutes ( to an hour) both ways to work. Matter of fact I don't even drive "daily." Due to this it has me really considering selling my Audi and buying another foxbody to use as my "daily." It would free up some project car cash, and I would...

    Engine Need oil whisperer input

    So I'm attempting to get my engine running after about 5 years. It was a fresh build when left alone and had never been started. I'm about at my wits end as I just can't seem to figure this one out. It acts like it wants to start then fails to do so. Engine: fresh 306, with F303 cam, AFR 185...

    Not a fox, but something new and interesting

    So I've been working seven different projects lately, to include a 97 Ranger. I've done a whole lot of repair to it. It was in a good place until I randomly decided to do the plugs. So I found this gem. I've never had a plug break off the nut portion. Any ideas beyond dropping ceramic in the...

    So I Have A Weird Thought...any Tampa Area Folks

    So I'm sitting here thinking about the 50 things that I need to do to start up the mustang and reminisced on the times when I had a group of guys who would kick each other in the backside to get their project done. I miss the old days and figured I would see if there are any garage guys in the area.

    Sanity Check Before Tearing This Thing Down

    So after extensive scientific research (a compression gauge) I found there is no compression on cylinder number 1. I'm still proud of the fact I have 7 with good compression, but really miss the eighth. So far I have pulled the upper intake and valve cover. No apparent binding or spring...

    Need Help On The Puller So I Can Work On The Mustang

    So I get home from my latest 7 month vacation and found that all five of our vehicles need work. The most important being my 01 ram that pulls the Mustang across the country every three years. The motor in it had what appeared to be a spent ring (wet test diagnosis) and I decided to cheat and...

    Don't Want To Screw It Up.....engine Start-up List

    So hopefully I can get a chance to work on the Mustang in the next month or so. I have been trying to get a list together for the initial "start-up" or re-starting of the car. The motor is not new, but received a turbo, FPR, injectors, new aeromotive 355 pump, intake, water pump and a bunch of...

    I'm going to be putting the Mustang up for a couple months and wondered how some of you guys store youre car. I've got it up on jack stands, but worry it might flex a little. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Need advice on California Mustang Gt40 etc.

    So no one talked me out of my road race idea and I might have a clean 1992 GT in line. I started based on the concept I can't get the power to increase too much, but now think it is a challenge. I need some insight on budget parts I can use to get the power up and maintain emissions. So far I...

    Another project I need talked out of

    So I'm driving my three hours to work and thought "wow, all these curvy roads would be awesome in a stang that really handles". I'm not about to change the white stang from being street/strip, but I started looking at putting together another car. I've got a bunch of parts on the shelf, but...

    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    I started a major rebuild on the stang last year. Between work and knee reconstruction, I havent had time to work on her. Now I have the gauges to wire, MSD 6-al2, finish the on/off switch, remote the battery, line lock, vacuum lines, drive shaft, switches, exhaust and the overall re-check on...

    Anyone running the black Ponys with machined lip?

    American Muscle has a great sale on them and I'm definitely looking at them. It would be great to see how they look on a white fox.

    Needs some hlep on 2-step switch

    So I haven’t posted in awhile. I have been working in pretty heavy spurts on the car and thought about posting a build thread. So far I finished building my new rear end, plumbed the line lock, converted to 5 lug, have most of my turbo install done and have been rewiring most of the car. I...

    Tremec 3550 questions

    I was under my 93 today and found out that the exhaust hanger bracket (between the tranny and mount) is bent and that I am missing my bell housing to tranny bolts. Its a pro-shifted 3550 that the previous owner installed. Its supposed to be upgraded to TKO 600 specs (guess I'll find out when it...

    HP Turbo question

    Does anyone have the installation instructions for an HP turbo kit (1993 single kit)? I cant find mine and am installing my kit on the current project car. Any experience would be greatly appreciated as this is quickly becoming the car that Stangnet built. It all seems minor, but I barely have...

    Need info on lug nuts for 3 inch studs

    Anyone know where to get an open end lug nut that has the correct bevel for my bullet rims? I tried some of the ones I used on the old four lug set-up and they dont appear to seat right.

    Gear brands

    I'm sitting here looking at the rear axle out from under my car and hate to pull it apart just to put in new axles and center section. I've located a whole new housing for a hundred bucks, but havent decided which brand of gear to get if I go the second housing route. The current one has some...

    Help decide suspension/wheel combo

    Keep debating on what to keep. The white car is going to stay with me, while the blue car will likely get sold. I do go to the track, but not often. I love the bullit rims and just cant decide. I even started swapping them between the cars, but cant make up my mind. I know that I want to keep my...

    How do I add a large number of pics?

    I know this is a question that has been asked a thousand times, but I cant seem to pull anything up. I started a build thread, but ran out of room for pics ( and subsequently moved my household). I would like to continue it, and have a whole lot of pics left. Any help is greatly appreciated.
