Good to know, thanks! So what's the easiest way to get them out of there without damaging the handle?

I'd like to clean up the interior window crank handles and get the corrosion off, but I can't figure out how the knobs come off. Maybe it should be obvious!

Quite sure he did :)

Poor baby! glad she got saved!

So, my car has kind of a weird history. I'm from a super small town, and my mom owned the Mustang for 30 years. We took the oil pan off to fix some nasty leaks and while we were scraping the old gaskets off, we noticed that all the crank throws had engraving on them--so the engine has been...

I had a guy pester me at Advance Auto the other night, I didn't even tell him a number. Just said "no."

If I had the $$ and space I'd do the same thing too.

I might print off some of the old Jeep ones too!

Hey all, I love old ads. (graphic design & journalism nerd) Is anyone reproducing the CS magazine ads? It would be fun to find a few and frame them.

Ohh, that's a pretty one.

Heh. I actually got dumped by a boyfriend in high school when I was working on my 69 coupe. He didn't like me with grease under my nails, or maybe it was the time I fixed his truck for him when he didn't know what was wrong with it. Dumb boys.

Oh I'm sure we were! She sucked down the gas (12-13 mpg on the freeways, almost 14 on the two-lane twisties) Tach is on the list. All this math to figure out how fast I'm going or how far until I need fuel again is a PITA. Also, that oil leak is REALLY a doozie. It sat on sand before so I...

The factory stuff is that much better? Really? How? I mean, if it saves us $600+, that's $600+ that can be spent elsewhere :D

$230 difference in price? Husband--electrical guy--says the Stang needs to be rewired. I'm no expert but what I've seen is a corroded, taped, mice-chewed mess so he's probably right. Painless shows two kits--a universal Ford kit for $600, and a Mustang-specific kit for $830. What are you paying...

Yep we did, why? I wasn't going to poke along at 55 ;)
