    Fox Help With Wiring

    I have found that most of mine is perfectly pliable. What I have found is that the "black tape" that FOMOCO used on the OEM harness is hard as anything after 30 yrs. In fact it is so hard I struggle cutting it from the harness without damaging the wires. And I've been working on auto harnesses...

    Tmi Vs Acme Upholstery What?

    Thanks for the reply. I was indeed on a site or two that "cherry pick" interior sets for whatever reason. I also found one after more digging that does stock your stuff in the gray for 87-89. I will be buying from them.

    Tmi Vs Acme Upholstery What?

    ...sneaks in and posts first post in about 5 years....I am ready to buy my upholstery for my 88 GT. It is gray cloth. How come all the sites that sell the stuff list it as ACME and not TMI? Only the gray stuff. If it was tan I'd be TMI. What gives?

    Build Thread 1978 Mercury Cyclone. The pig is in the pen.

    I'm thinking you can display the "Built not bought" sticker on the rear bumper if you so choose. Wait..will it have a bumper?

    I seriously doubt that'll happen. You are resourceful.

    Worse case just change the one on the alternator. They are cheap and easy to obtain.

    Just Bought One Of The Stranger Gt Foxes Out There!

    If keeping the miles off the truck is the goal go for it. It fuel economy is the plan you may as well start over. Calculate how long it will take to pay for itself in fuel savings. Initial purchase and all the stuff you are about to buy. No savings to be had.

    Ford Nationals Carlisle Pa

    I attend Carlisle shows/swap meets several times per year. There are deals to be had. I haul a ton of shhtuff home every chance I get. I'd pic Friday over any other day. Saturday is crowded Sunday or earlier people are packing up to leave and Thursday nobody is there yet.

    Vinyl Wrap

    I've seen many vehicles wrapped. Mostly fleet or business cars, trucks, rollbacks. DON'T DO IT. It is a great idea. It is great for advertisement. It is not good for up close looks at all. Seams. Dirt in seams. Peeling in time. Sun and wrap don't mix for long. Wrinkles. Bubbles. I can go on...

    Progress Thread My 89 Gt, Caught Fire....

    Just got back on after working a lot and working on my own build. First I've seen your thread. Sorry for your misfortune. If you need any stuff that I may have laying around, post a list. Really stinks when you were so close.
