    Front end Bounce

    Have you checked the bolt on the bottom side of the fender a couple inches in front of the door? If it has come off the fender will move in and out and appear to be bouncing at speed. Just something basic to check out. Hope it helps.

    Price on a 1970 Mach 1

    Thanks for the kind words and all of the input guys. The owner of the car does not want to deal so I guess it will just have to sit there.

    Price on a 1970 Mach 1

    I bought this one from the same guy in 2002. It was in worse shape but I did about 80% of the work myself. I want to be fair but I also want to make money on it if I have to sell it in the future.

    Price on a 1970 Mach 1

    He wants $6,500 for it. It does not run but all the parts are there. It is my brother in-laws father that is selling it so I don't really want to insult him by giving him a low ball offer.

    1967 Mustang Gas Tank Replacement

    I bought that kit for my 65. It was a good kit but, make sure you have all the parts before you start the install. It was a good thing I waited to install, they did not send the fuel sending unit till 10 days after I received the tank.

    WYOTECH vs UTI

    I am a graduate of WyoTech in 99'. I went for Coll/Refin. I learned some basics there but not all that was needed to go work in a autobody shop.

    Would you let your child ride in your stang?

    I didn' think it was a goofy topic. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't one of those parents. You know the kind you see them with a new born and baby bottle full of Mountain Dew.

    I do have the 3 point belts in the front and she is in the front seat in a rear facing car seat without airbags. I have also replaced the latch on the back of the compartment door that separates the interior from the trunk and built a fake floor over the gas tank to also help.
