    Aluminum Rear Vents

    Just received my aluminum rear vents that Larry (AZGT) had made, and am very impressed. How these were made so well using a sand casting is beyond me. They do need a little file and sand papering, but that is a good project for a winter night in front of the TV. Thank you very much Larry for...

    Enclosed Truck Transport Question

    I believe that Ford Motor Co. used Reliable to ship the GTs from factory to the dealers. I purchased my car from a dealer in Alabama before its delivery to them. I had a Reliable truck waiting at the dealer for the car to come in. They did the switch and brought it to me in California in the...

    Good News / Bad News

    Glad to hear both you and your son are ok. I had a near death experience in my Heritage on one of our California freeways. Both my car and I were spared, how, I don't know. So I have some payback to give. Feel free to hang with my GT. Both you and your son are due some good times. See you both...

    Thanks Rocman, I can rebuild a Carter AFB or a T-10 tranny with my eyes closed, but trying to post a picture, really shows my age. Gary T.

    Framed

    Here is a pic I bought online and had a young man frame for me. He did a great job of framing this print for under $100. He added an engraved plate with my name and my car number. I would have posted the picture but it exceeded the size limitation and I am not sure how to resize it, so am...

    Dealer reference SF Bay Area

    Hey Ernie, Just returned home after having my GT worked on by Shawn at Walnut Creek Ford. It took him exactly 2 hours to replace the axle bolts. He allowed me to watch and returned all parts to me. My bolts and washer were in pristine condition. No warping of the black washers, and no...

    Dealer reference SF Bay Area

    I have an appointment for 10 am tomorrow, Tuesday, at Walnut Creek Ford to have the axle bolts replaced. Sean, the GT mechanic has done this job several times so is aware of what to do. I do have pictures to show him that were posted on the Forum on things to watch out for, such as removing any...

    Track day-Goodyear Eagles vs. Hoosiers

    Why don't we discuss the merits of the tires rather than hypothetical legal situations? :wink This is the essence of the question. I purchased my GT to experience controlled horsepower and to get the most pleasure out of high G driving. How many less totals would there be if those cars were on...

    A confession...

    Any other dead battery stories? Went to an Avanti meet on Saturday. On the way home I snapped the clutch adjusting rod, which is a weak point on the car. So sitting with the engine off and clutch pedal on the floor, I decided to drive the 10 miles or so home without using a clutch. Done it...

    Kendall, Thanks for this post. My car is going in Thursday for the Ford fix. It is nice to see this before I let the mechanic into my car. I will be bird dogging him through the entire process. He has only done two cars and didn't know he should be cleaning out the threads if they contain...

    Anti theft solution.

    I am using a Guidepoint GPS system. If my car is moved 25 feet or more, without my unlocking it, it sends a signal to a 24 hour a day location who then calls me. It also has a disable system built in. I can also use my computer to check and see where my car is at any time. It also will tell me...
