    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    Ok, so I’ve been trying to figure out what route I want to go on the motor in my 67. I came across a killer deal on a wrecked 05 GT.

    My wife was driving her 06 GT yesterday to my son's school. She was driving about 40mph and came up to an intersection, the light turned yellow so what does she do, she stands on the gas of course (not your typical female driver :D ). Anyway, instead of gaining speed, the car loses power which...

    Wheels -- Best place to buy

    I bought a set of wheels from www.cruisinchrome.com last month. I had ordered a set of Foose 18x8.5's and 18x10's. Turns out the offset isn't quite right for the 18x10's. They stuck out the side and were pretty much even with the fender. A good bump or lowering the car would definitely have...
