So, I stopped by my local Ford dealer today to visit a buddy. When I arrived, I bumped into him in the service drive. He said I had perfect timing, and wanted to show me a drive shaft he just pulled from a 2015 Mustang GT with a manual transmission. As I follow him back to the shop he said the...

My buddy Chuck McConnell sent me a video, from this past November, of him running his '76 Lola Frisbee against a pack of badass Trans Am series race cars.
If you love Trans Am series cars... you will dig this video. It starts off a bit slow in the pits.... but, once he's on track.... daaaamn...
My gun shop faces a major highway here in Calif (101 Fwy). So, we get great exposure to traffic going up and down the central coast. I decided to get a huge military truck to help draw attention to my shop. I first looked at getting a Deuce and a Half (M35A2), but quickly changed gears (pun...
I pulled into the gas station earlier, and was surrounded by 5 new Viper GTS coupes. They were all engineering vehicles, and had Michigan tags. They looked pretty badass, and I was impressed they actually sounded pretty damn good. They all got onto the 101 Fwy northbound with me too when I left...

THANKS SVTP!
I'm going to do a road race type build on my '70 Mach 1, and am thinking of selling my Whippled '03 to help expedite the build. I'm not looking for any trades, and am pretty firm on my price. I really love the car, and don't really "need" to sell. I have records for...
I'm posting this poll just to see if there is any interest in adding "Jacking Rails" to MM's Full Length Subframe Connectors. If there is a large enough interest, I will pass the info along to my bosses at MM.
The rails make jacking up a lowered Cobra (or any Mustang) really easy. Most floor...
I know I've posted pics of my 1970 Mach 1 in the Pics-n-Vids section when I first took delivery, but figured I may as well also put them in the Vintage thread (where it belongs). LOL
I bought it after selling my 00R last year, and am doing a resto-mod Trans Am race theme with the car. The Mach...

I was going through a cabinet in my garage today, and found a bunch of stuff from my 5.0L Fox days. One of which may be of use to someone wanting to switch to MAF. It's a complete MAF conversion kit from Ford Motorsport, including the following parts...

I recently sold my Cobra R to get back into a vintage Mustang. I've always loved the late 60's Trans Am series road race cars. I decided to pick up a '70 Mach 1, and do my version of a restomod Trans Am car.
The car's motor is fresh 351C, with an aluminum Shelby 4 barrel intake, double pumper...
Last night I went to the regular Friday night car meet at the Bob's Big Boy, in Burbank Calif. As always, there was a GREAT turn out of cars.
Here are some of the pics I took... sorry if they are large pics!

I spent the last few days in NORCAL helping my buddy, Cobrakidz, work on his car. We then hit up some cool local cars, and spent yesterday at Infineon Raceway for the Historic Races. Here are some of the many pics I took over the last few days.
First, we went to a couple local guy's houses to...
Bruce (Cobrakidz... with R 160) and I had our 00Rs in the Knotts Berry Farm "Fabulous Fords Forever" show yesterday. We also met Bill, the owner of a really nice open track '95R. He's a great guy, and it was cool talking about the '95 and '00 R cars with him.
Bruce made the 7+ hour drive...
I recently purchased an Epic Wide Angle video camera. They are mainly used as helmet cams for bikes, but at about $100 I thought it might make a cheap alternative to a slightly more expensive Go Pro camera. The Epic is powered by two AAA batteries, and holds up to a 4GB SD card. The quality...
