That's what I thought. Funny how Ford calls it dark red, Scott Drake call it red, and NPD calls it maroon. :wink:

Well thanks for looking in your spare parts for me. Looks like I will be getting a repro anyways. I took the armrest off the door, and the paint flakes off really easily, but the vinyl at the leading edge of the rest is cracked underneath so I'm not going to bother re-painting it. I've looked...

You don't mess with Arlie. He has the "technology". :grin:

Thanks Marty. I'll give the thinner a try. :grin:

It appears that the left armrest on my car has been poorly re-painted. The dark red is flaking off and the armrest appears to be originally black. I have repainted interior plastics before and have no issues with it. My concern here is that the paint appears to be quite thick. I can flake it...

Nice car! Good luck with the sale. :grin:

Have fun Neil! :grin:

Kinda figured the Shelby part was a joke...:wink:

I don't mind the colour. Looks like a nice car. Would be nice to see a Marti though.

There you go Stephen. :cool:

Happy Birthday! :grin:

Looks great Neil...and I'm sure your thumbs would rather you not hang by them...:grin:

Just taking the engine apart and resealing everything IMHO is a bit of a waste. If it is coming apart, it's not that much more expensive to go through the engine and see what needs to be done. If you are lucky, it'll just need a bit of cleanup, maybe hone the cylinder walls, do a valve job...

Happy Birthday! :grin:

I had the car out to my son-in-law's place this afternoon. We got the tail light panel off and found that the ground wire on the back of the left tail light was loose and dirty. After cleaning up both ground wires, and tweaking one of the sockets on the left tail light, all is well. I have...

I guess my response to this is to try to spin it to a positive. In my case, the GT/CS was sold to me as "mint". I ended up redoing everything the PO had done and more. The end result, while expensive, has transformed the car into my ideal. Another good result is that I know that everything...

You can always look at this as an opportunity. Are you planning to rebuild the engine/transmission? A reseal of the engine will not be cheap, but maybe this would be the time to have the mechanic go over it all while replacing the gaskets. Even if it only need a freshening, better to pay for...

I love this idea. If you don't mind, I will send you a couple of pictures of my car to be put on. Do you have a size preference? :grin:

That 's quite the engine bay...:cool:

In case you need it, the part number on my Walker Dynomax Super Turbos is 17762.
