    Steve walked me through the turn signal issue and I am good to go now. Blink Blink!! Thanks, Steve!! However after cleaning all the lights and housings I found I need one back up lens (cracked) and a front passenger side marker light and housing (not working due to moisture getting in and...

    66 Hub Caps

    Reminds of the time my wife said she was thinking of calling one of those TV restoration shows and secretly seeing if they would take my car on for a restoration TV show thing. I about had a heart attack. I could only picture PIMP MY RIDE and had these horrifying :o images of my car restored...

    Automatic Choke Problem...

    Hey Don, I find it a lot less stressfull to hunt the 4 legged critters. ::) I caught a few to many of the 2 legged type and it seemed to complicate life, the last one I caught in the early 90's and she's still putting up with me, if she ever gets tired of me I'll probably bach it the rest of...

    New Shelby Cobra unveiled

    Well Said! And one last note, it's the same kids you describe, in there designing the thing anyway, the only one that had any chance of sending the new Shelby in our direction (read Boomers and beyond) was Shelby himself and he's apparently given up, which is typical of soon to be retired or...

    Automatic Choke Problem...

    It's OK, I love animals as well. Mice, Rats and the likes just aren't on the list. I couldn't go rabbit hunting unless it was the only thing out there and I was dang hungry (starving), no way I could shoot a little chipmunk, can't shoot birds of any kind, tried once to shoot some sage hens but...

    Automatic Choke Problem...

    Think of Rock Chucks as big Rats, lots and lots of big rats, and yes they are "Pathetic." Think of the high desert as our house. Well our house is infested with big rats (Chucks). They are disease infested, flea carrying varmints that will destroy a crop of Wheat, Barley or Hay if not held in...

    Kind of surprising coming from Texas but then you're probably a city kind of guy. Good thing were all entitled to our own opinions, at least that's my opinion. ;D Hook

    Automatic Choke Problem...

    It's ripping off the top on the Jeep, loading up your varmint rifle and heading North onto the Idaho high desert hunting Rock Chucks for an afternoon of fun in the sun. Matter of fact I should be there again this weekend. ;D Now...if asked to define Rock Chucks it's like I tell everyone...

    Air shocks

    No offense taken but I have several cans around and I'm keeping them. Both my ATV's have cans in the soft bags (don't want to be stranded in the Rockies) and after taking my riding lawnmower tire in to be repaired 3 times at the local tire store and finding it flat again the next time I went to...

    Insurance Repairs

    I'm still studying my new Hagarty policy but it looks good on paper. I'm still a little skeptical however as most insurance is a fraud hell bent on taking your money and giving nothing in return if at all possible. And when it isn't possible and they have to fork out money you will look like a...

    That "Guru" thing..

    Guess I might as well throw out my thanks to everyone as well. To Paul, Jon, and for all the advice I've received from everyone and the offers to help out on parts etc. Thanks! And happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there. Hook

    Engine Question

    When I went to Fremont CA this past summer my dad was giving me a lesson on the 1917 Model T Speedster that I'm some day adding to my collection. Quite the interesting cars. The first lesson left me so baffled that all I got out of the conversation was you better have a hold of the E-Brake...

    Radio

    I've already got a new Alpine CD AM FM deck installed. Came out of my F150 which I had just installed it in but I sold the truck so I took it back out. Bought an F250 Super Duty for pulling and I couldn't see leaving the Alpine in the F150 and the new 250 had a CD player so the Mustang was the...

    66 Hub Caps

    Anyone need any 66 Mustang hub caps? I have had these hub caps for an eternity. I think I have 3 matching caps, the 4th was an oddball and I saw a Mustang one time that was missing one cap the same as my oddball so I stopped one day jumped out and snapped it on the car. No idea who's car it...

    Radio

    Well now that I made a decision on my radio antenna ::) and it's in place and looks great ::) I guess my next need will be a radio. I did buy a second bezel and...WARNING TO THE FEINT OF HEART...cut the worst of the two out so I could install a CD player. I like music and if it makes anyone...
