    billet aluminum clamshell "top" vents

    I have an extra set of the "alternative" style of billet clamshell top vents for sale. Never installed, brand new. From Pe2unia, maker of all of our treasured billet clamshell vents. Will not warp like the original plastic vents. Comes with mounting hardware. Could be painted, but these are such...

    Jimmy Buffett thread?

    Several years ago I think it was, a aircraft pilot member here posted about Jimmy boarding their private plane for a minute to say hello, and they ended up talking about favorite island spots and things like that. I always thought that was so cool. His recent passing made me think of this, and...

    Ford GT40/GT/NFGT trio

    Well, while everybody has been focused on the newest weapon from Ford (Mustang GTD), I have been looking more at past legends: My Ford GT collection is now complete (or, as complete as it likely ever will be). In addition to my red 2006 Ford GT and my matching red 2021 Carbon Series Ford GT, I...

    20 lb boost gauge install (Speedhut)

    I had Rich Brooks install a 4.0 Whipple back in 2015, right before FGT Rally X, along with a Spec clutch and some other goodies, including a set of Speedhut gauges. While I immensely enjoyed the extra thrust from the Whipple, I was disappointed that the factory boost gauge no longer functioned...

    2006 FGT bumper delete finally done

    The week after I bought my 2006 GT (back in 2011 I think it was), I did several mods including short-throw shifter, transaxle cooler, subwoofer relocation, and X-pipe. Later, before Rally X, I had Rich Brooks install a 4.0L Whipple and Spec clutch and other goodies. I tried to make my peace with...

    An Extraordinary Milestone

    This "Season's Greetings from the Multimatic Niche Vehicles Service Team" was great fun to receive, along with a cool MKII poster and card! What a fascinating poster of the first 1000 NFGT's.

    Introducing M019, 2021 Carbon Series NFGT

    It has been a long 6 years since we all first laid eyes upon the new Ford GT, introduced in January 2015 at the Detroit Auto Show, but like they say- the anticipation is half the fun! I went with off-palette color of MkIV Red to match my 2006 GT, and Silver Accent package and a "new for 2021"...

    Recommendations for incoming NFGT

    My 2021 Carbon Series NFGT is going to be delivered to Detroit area (Milliken/Kevin K) in about a month, and I am obviously getting quite excited. I am trying to formulate my game plan to ensure that everything is in order when it is delivered to me in South Dakota. My reason for going with...

    Classic auto transport question

    Just bought a '67 Mustang S-code fastback 4-speed in West Virginia, looking to get it shipped to me in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Especially this time of year, very few of the major auto shippers have cars going from that area to my area, so shipping can take many weeks. Wondering if anybody...

    Not exactly what everybody else has been posting lately, but...

    It may not be a NFGT, but the "fun:dollar spent" quotient is similar. I'm a sucker for old classic vehicle "survivors". One of my sons found this ONE-OWNER 1967 F250 pickup, in original Lunar Green color, with the original 80,000 mile 352 V8/4 speed/Dana 60 rear. It was purchased new by a...

    ClearPlex windshield film failed me... or did it?

    I bought the ClearPlex from Trent/4N a few years ago, but only got around to having somebody install it for me a couple of weeks ago. I took the car out for a quick spin yesterday morning, and a big truck threw a rock at me, down low on the drivers side of the windshield. Looks to me like it...

    A piece of Dodge racing history- 1968 "L023" Hurst hemi Dart

    For anybody interested, just thought I would share a new project car I purchased- an authentic 1968 L023 Hurst Hemi Dart. Dodge made 80 of these beasts, just for Super Stock racing. Though technically street-legal, they came with large decals stating that they were "for supervised acceleration...

    Speedhut gauge questions

    I finally got my local tuner/fabricator to build me a better air intake setup to properly feed my 4.0 Whipple. When he was tuning it, he noticed that the Speedhut tach reads about 300 rpm higher than it should. He set the idle at about 700-750, and the tach reads about 1000 rpm. You can tell...

    Way to go, Mustang!

    Matthias, can you vouch for this? :wink http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/08/autos/ford-mustang-sales-germany/index.html Nice work, Ford. :usa

    1965 F100 pickup

    About once a year I like to take on a car project. Last year it was my '67 GTX with 572 cross-ram hemi. The year before that, it was a 1968 Charger (father-son project/gift for him). This year's project was my 1965 F100 pickup, which just finished a frame-off restoration. This pickup was a gift...

    9-year-old's quest for more power

    Ever in search of the perfect state of tune for his Tinker Toy engines, my son Ryan asked me to help "adjust his valves" tonight. Might have something to do with the fact that he just watched me do just that on my 427 cobra. With a little trial and error using some Pam cooking spray and some...
