Good evening, my car has been prepped and will be sprayed tomorrow. The question that I got from the paint guy was what color I wanted my scoop insert painted. From the looks of it, my car was repainted and I'm not positive what color my scoop insert should be. I think it should be white. My...

Getting ready to paint and clearcoat the car. I had heard horror stories in the past about clearcoats going/looking yellow after a while. Don't know if that's the case with what is currently on the market. Any that I should stay away from? Any to recommend? Or are all of them about the same...

Hey Folks, I've got a quandry. Next week, I'm finally taking in my car to be repainted. Going to paint it Wimbleton White and I've got my red stripes (got a red interior if that means anything). Got to talking with Paul Newitt about color codes for red hood stripes and he suggested something...

I've pretty much finalized the paint job that will be done to my CS next month and I'm on the fence about something--I'm considering putting GT Stripes on the hood of my car. The car will be painted Wimbleton White (like it currently is) with red side stripes replacing my current maroon...

Finally decided to repaint the car next month and I need to find out who I should buy side stripes from and who I should stay away from. Any help would be appreciated. Robb

Well, I got my orders. Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton for me. We'll be moving this June. The car may not follow me up immediately. We finally found a good paint man and may have to leave the Cali in Texas until late summer. BTW, we're looking to have the white vinyl top replaced. Are all...

Mornin', looking to replace my white top with another one. Any good leads on reasonbly priced tops? Also, anything special I need to do to prep the roof before I put the top back on so I don't end up in this same situation 5 years from now? Robb

Well, last night was not good here in West Texas. We got pounded with a good 'ol Texas hail storm. Since the CS is in the garage, my other classic (68 Barracuda Convertible) was outside and bore the brunt. My convertible top is shredded. Since I believe that Hagerty won't take care of this...

Wow, this will create some buzz among purists...Robb http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/12/14/mustang_wagons/index.html

Finally, joy in Mudville. Congrats to the Detroit Tigers after years of being absolutely pitiful. ON to the World Series!!! Robb

Afternoon! Well, it has nothing to do with the Mustang, but I've finally decided to get the Barracuda painted. I've found a car painter through a friend of mine and am looking to get the car painted. Since I'm really a novice are there certain things I should ask the painter prior to him doing...

Is this Mexican Mustang as rare as they say? Don't know too much about the south of the border stangs...Robb http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ultra-RARE-Made-in-Mexico-Maybe-only-1-in-USA-197-PIX_W0QQitemZ300029410521QQihZ020QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Yeah, I'm finally back from Florida. Lost 20 pounds and am beat. Anyways, at the last minute, I decided not to put these headrests on the car. Still in the box. Nothing wrong with them, just going in another direction. Before I put them on Ebay, thought I'd give you folks a first shot...

Hey folks, miss the daily talk on the site. Have been in Florida for the past three weeks working as a "TI" for the officer cadets in Air Force ROTC. Working 20 hour days/7 days a week. Think of me as Louis Gossett Junior in An Officer and a Gentlemen. Lost 10 pounds due to the grind. This...

Hey, just picked up a pair of headrests off of Ebay tonight. They're black, but I thought they could be dyed red. First what would be the best way to dye them (foam brush, rag, etc?) I also wanted to know if anyone out there installed a set and if they are easy to install w/out having to take...

I think I know the answer to this but thought I'd ask. When I switch on the A/C, as you're looking at the air compressor/wheel--the outer wheel of the A/C unit spins, but the inner portion (clutch?) will spin some, stop and make a squealing noice, start spinning and then stop again. Is this a...

About three weeks ago I was driving down the road when parts started dropping from my engine bay. Found that my air conditioner idler arm pulley (immediately to the left of the compressor wheel) disintegrated, throwing the belt into the fan, wrapping itself around it. Fast forward to today. I...

I've got a bit of a quandry. I'm thinking about putting mudflaps on my vehicle. Not because I want to, but because in the last month I've had the car, I've already had to make several chip repairs. Out here in West Texas there's a problem with a lot of rocks and junk on the roads. Problem is...

We can only hope that it finds it's way into future Mustangs. Should boost F-Series production and fight off those pesky Hemis. Robb http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060326/AUTO01/603260358

I don't know if this was brought up on an earlier post (can't figure out how to look up old threads), but went with my son to the store and picked up an XBox "Mustang" game. The game allows you to pick up to 40 different Stangs to race against other Mustangs. One of them is the CS. Looks...
