Cliff: My Cav #99 has both sides lefty loosie/righty titie; The Daytona is the same; Superformance had a recall on the nuts and sent out a new pair both same threads for each side. The torque spec's on the Daytona is 220 ft lbs so you gotta crank on it. I think yer thinkin about the knock off...

I bought two complete ZF tarnsaxles (Pantera) from a parts manager at a Mecury dealer in Seattle in 1977 as I worked next door at Ford. They were both replaced due to bearing noise mostly in low gear. There was a Mercury service bulletin about the issue that customers were complaining about. The...

I just went to the the local Wal-Mart and got 2 pieces of plain rope from the hardware section, on to produce department and picked up a potato and a lemon. tied one rope around my wifes waist with the lemon and she went as a "sour-puss" I tied the potato around my waist and went as a...

first year; lots of other events going on close buy, only 20 cars showed for display. Had lots of people walk in to check out the cars and fun games going on. The auction did $3,380.00 for the Head & Neck Cancer Alliance, as 100% of the $$ went straight to the fund. Lots of good eats (and...

I found a wiring diagram glued to the under side of the inspection plate/access panel that un-screws in front of the windsreen, exposing the electric's and foot pedals. I ran it throught the copier, it took two seprerate passes to get it all.

........and don't leave out Mr. Peter Brock (his first official employee @ $helby American). It was him and many others who's talent and feness got the whole thing done. It was all of us who kept it going clear up to today. Our continued support in these vehicles and the history that "IS" what...

Only eight days until the Fast Ford Festival just North of Spokane; four GT40's for sure so far; bunches of "lesser cars"! Better step to one side, cause I don't know how big this "thing" is gonna get! Fun day in store for all. See you there................(see above)

day-glow green, with white and black accents. Look at the Tommy Kindel Trans-Am Mustang a few years back, or the Mello Yellow Nasturd cars..............

Great color! Enjoy it. (get that "bow tie" engine out of there ASAP!)

LeMans rules state only "one" gas fill allowed, were placed on the pit wall side of the cars. The passenger side (left) was blanked off for this race, and a cross over tube added to fill the left sill tank..................

Gotta be a total "gear head"! All those cool parts sitting on a granite counter top, and in the kitchen! Total Car Guy!!!!!!!

It's the passion and interest that counts..............................They are all just nuts, bolts, and some body panels. If you ran any car through a shreader, a similar pile of crap would be at the other end. It would be hard to tell if it was an original or a Fiber Fab at that point....

Similar issue with the last "early" CAV 40; Has vent lines vented into the air filter housing, (got it through Califonia emissions as it was assembled in that state). On hot days with full tanks will expand up the lines and bleed into the air filter housing and run into the carb air horn. Just...

I found one of the model kit companies of the 60's did a box art with the "Ford" at the rear wheel. It was on a Mk 1 with wire wheels, blue top of nose, white body with thin tri-stripe over the top. This always seemed odd to me after seeing all the Ford pro-mo films and adds with the "Ford" at...

(always dream about a lap at LeMans, don't know if I'll ever get there......):sad:

August 6th 2011 - Noon till 6PM. Ford GT, Cobra, Shelby etc. Everyone is welcome, even non Fords. Silent auction benefiting the Head & Neck Cancer Alliance. Music/Disc Jockey, good eats available, no entry fee, no judging, just a fun day for gear heads and car nuts. Five acres of flat grassy...

I've only done most of the west coast tracks; (USA) It's gotta be the one closest to home, Pacific Raceways just South of Seattle as I have thousands of laps there in the last 40 years. You get to where you know the fast ways through certain corners and when the rookies arrive you smoke'um and...

Tim: It wasn't Stewart Transport. It was a broker located in Illinois. They owned no trucks or equipt we found out. Just a boiler room full of phones being answered to take orders. Transporters would contact them for hauls to fill there loads going or coming back in most cases.

:veryangry:BE Careful. Listen to all the information that was given above! Don't go "cheap"! You will be very sorry. They will take your money and put you on a list for carriers to pick up according to your dollar amount the broker set to get your business. Then you wait for a hungry hauler to...
