    First time bleeding the clutch.

    Not that I have had many drives over the past couple of years, and I missed the GT Guys in Southern Maryland on a rainy Saturday, and I have clicked over 30,000 miles, so when the shifting began to get on the difficult side, the thought of a new clutch wasn’t so bad. Almost not being able to get...

    With help from Shadowman, I replaced my 3 drive belts.

    During the yearly car preparations, I typically replace all 4 rotors, pads, fluid, along with an oil change, and from time to time flush the trans axle fluids. I know the GT Guys are scheduled to be with 100 miles next month, and I had purchased the accessory and supercharger belts from Torrie...

    VIR in May!

    The time fast approaches for the next “big time” track event at Virginia International Raceway put on by the SVT Cobra Mustang Club (SCMC). There will definitely be 3 FGT’s attending as I look at who is already signed on, and this is the full 3.7 mile course with the amazingly long back...

    09 09 09 At Summit Point

    Had a fantastic time on the big track at Summit Point, West Virginia with Mike from PA and Rich from VA. Phil showed up a big late with his '06, and the weather couldn't have been better as it rained all around us but never a drop on the track. Have to thank Rich for reminding me of this event...

    The Colonial Challenge Cup, 09/09/09

    I just wanted to throw this out here as we may have at least 5 Ford GT's attend this "Charity" event run similar to the SCMC events I have attended, and enjoyed. One plus to this event is that during the luch break several folks line up their cars on the grid and instructors or professionals...

    F150 thread?

    I couldn't find the thread started yesterday regarding the current F-150 truck pricing, but I had responded promising to visit my dealer today, which I did. The prices were as stated in yesteday's thread, and it looks like I'll be hanging on to my '05 a bit longer as these prices were, in my...

    TransAxle Fluid Leak

    There have been others finding small leaks in the half shaft and breather areas. This is a bit different and I will not have a definitive answer as to a small crack or a porous case for a few days. Even with the unit out we cannot "see" a crack, the fluid simply appears to pool right through the...

    Carrying spare tires safely in the trailer.

    I have been transporting a spare set of wheels for my Ford GT in my trailer and right from the start did my best to protect them from each other and from everything else, including the car. I think Brute Industries has again met my desires in this regard by creating a set of what they are...

    Front Brake Air Duct

    Not sure if anyone else has had one of these loosen up and need attention, so after speeking with Bill (Shadowman) and after countless tips from Rich and Denis (The GT GUY's) over the years, I pulled off the front nose section and re-attached the duct. I took some photo's during the process and...

    Another positive plug for The GT Guy's.

    Now that I have had my car back for one week, and have had a chance to take it out of the garage with some sunshine, I wanted to take a moment and thank Rich and Denis for their professionalism repairing and modifying my Ford GT. The paint looks better than it did from the factory, the fitment...
