    Did you guys see this thing???

    Looks like a mid '90s Isuzu pickup to me.

    Thermal wrap effectiveness?

    Header wraps work as far as keeping underhood temps down, but it is very hard on headers. It causes them to rust faster than normal, most header mfr's won't warranty a header that's been wrapped.

    staggered rims and steering wheels

    Thanks! I'm split on the original color (med. canyon red met., my car is really faded) or redfire pearl met., a color on '03-'04 Cobras.

    Is there any spoiler to this effect?

    Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I just became a dad! I haven't worked on it in a while, I need to get my butt in gear & finish it.

    HID lights on a FOX

    X2, the only right way to do it is a retrofit. You'll get tons of people arguing that the kits are the ****znit, but most of those people have never been a car equipped with a true HID system. The kits have zero cutoff & produce a terrible glare. Because of the stock headlight housing the...

    79 bumper on a 86 mustang

    The molding is different & you need a 79-82 hood.

    homemade short shifter??

    I took about 3/4" off my B&M Ripper. When I was measuring the threads to make a shift knob (I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay $40 or more for a stinkin KNOB) I realized there was still some of the necked down shaft that wasn't threaded. I threaded it the rest of the way down & cut some off the top.

    Centerline wheel ?

    I think they are Centerline Pro Stocks. They were pretty popular in the late '80s to early '90s.

    trunk tension rods, are they hard to replace? Where to find em

    I've never installed a set on a fox but I have on other cars, they aren't that fun. I just pulled mine out of my coupe, that was easy. If you weren't so far away I'd let you have em.:D

    Model builders guidance please

    For styrene parts I just use MEK. It draws down in the joint & makes very little mess (plus I can get it for free). For bonding different parts (like resin parts to styrene, etc.) I use a CA glue or just plain old super glue.

    edelbrock 750 vs holley 750

    X2, if you're just gonna throw a carb on it to drive, or you don't know a whole lot about carbs then the Edelbrock is for you. The Holley is more of a "performance" carb & is more adjustable & in my opinion the better carb. I worked in a speed shop for a long time many moons ago & alot of...

    4 to 5 lug adapters

    Is there any spoiler to this effect?

    Lol, I haven't worked on it in a little while. I'm gonna be a dad soon & my wife & I have been getting things ready for the baby. I have a long weekend for Thanksgiving so maybe I can get it finished.

    cobra IRS in fox swap

    I can't really help you guys with brake info. because my brakes aren't stock, but you can get a 9" wheel under there pretty easy. For OE type wheels in s197 fitments work well, just be sure to run the sn95 stuff on the front. To fit a 9" wheel you need around 6.750" b.s., I have 9" with 6.42 &...

    Guage Experts...

    MC machine makes one that is better looking in my opinion than the Florida 5.0 piece, it jooks cheap to me. As far as reasonably priced, you're gonna drop at least $600 on a wired & assembled panel depending on options. I used most of my old harness when I put in my Autometer gauges.

    Is there any spoiler to this effect?

    That's kind of the look I was going for, like some of the old Trans Am series race cars from the '70's, like an AAR Cuda or ''68 camaro. Most of those were glass or plastic back then.

    Is there any spoiler to this effect?

    After searching & not really finding what I was looking for I decided to make my own. I glued several layers of pink insulation foam together & weighted it as the glue dried so it would conform to the trunklid's shape. Then I sanded it to shape, laid 4 layers of fiberglass mat over it, and I'm...

    jegs vs weld draglites are they the same?

    They might I don't know. I do know that the two are completely different wheels. The Jegs wheels are cast, which means they are heavier, and won't shine as well. They also take different lugnuts.
