    '67-68 Scott Drake Trap Door w/6x9 Speaker Pods

    So I purchased this from Holley, of course no instructions or hardware of any kind came with it. The only thing I see pre-drilled on it is for the latch, and it's obvious that the factory bolts on my current trap door latch will not work here, it will need self tapping screws. As for the...

    No Brake Fluid to Driver Side Front Caliper

    Spare Tire Question

    I recently purchased a 2015 Eco boost with the performance package for my daughter, and just like the GT performance, no spare. They can be found easily enough but they all have the disclaimer not available for cars with summer tires. For the life of me, I can't figure out why that would...

    Problem With New Vintage Usa Performance Series Tach

    So I'm having a problem with the Tach that came with the New Vintage USA Performance series mustang DIY kit package. When I turn the ignition to power, the tach needle should jump, but all mine does is ever so slowly creep up to about 200 rpm reading and then stop. When I start the car, the...

    Highland Green Color Differences

    Can someone tell me the differences between the Dark Highland Green color of 1968 and the Dark Highland Green color of 2001, 2008-2009 model Mustangs? Paint codes are different. Looking at pictures, it appears that the 2001, 2008-2009 color is darker than the color from 1968. Thanks,

    So, it seems that no matter what setting I have the a/c controls in, the air blows mainly out of the floor ducts. Very little comes out of the dash vents and I can get nothing to blow out of the defroster ducts. Any ideas? Thanks,

    SLPs Too Loud for Wife

    So I installed some SLP Loudmouths on my '08 GT/CS Vert a few weeks ago. I love the sound they make and I'm not bothered by it at all. However; the wife thinks the car is WAY :mad:to loud now. So, I'm thinking about adding some resonators, say after the H-pipe, to quiet it down a little. Any...

    SLP Loudmouths In '08 GT/CS

    Got the Loudmouths in from Brenspeed on Friday and I put them on the car today. Hardest part of the install was getting the driver side factory muffler out. But, with the WD-40 and some persuasion, it finally came out.:nice: Install was easy as pie and the fit was fantastic. Now she really...
