The aluminum hood isn't that heavy, but it is BIG and awkward. So it is pretty hard to handle alone while trying to reach across the car and avoid dropping one side or edge. Getting, and keeping, it aligned when installing alone will be tough.

I was out for a walk today and when I passed by a neighbor's house he was backing his car out of the garage. It's a 1972 Charger that he has had since new, and it has --- Crager SS wheels on it I realized. I've seen it a number of times, stopped and talked with him, and it was just today that I...

I am a little surprised that there hasn't been much discussion about nitrous as a power adder. It is relatively cheap to install and a lot of fun at the drag strip. Filling the bottle gets to be a pain, and early spring and late fall it can be tough to keep bottle pressure up with colder...

When the nitrous shot hits it IS a little like going plaid!

My wife said that she always liked the nitrous kit I had on my 2006 and that I should put one on my 2024 GT (what she really liked was the purge that I routed to come out the snout of the pony badge on the grille). I am thinking of picking up the Nitrous Express dual throttle body plate kit...

So far it only affects 2024 models built after September 18.

Happy Independence Day! Drove the Mustang in the parade again this year. One of my friends is in charge of the Kiwanis summer car show and concert series and always asks me to be part of their parade entry. The red Olds 442 that was leading our group (just in front of the Solstice)...

That doesn't seem to work on my wife's Cadillac CT5, and neither does the "double tap", at least not it doesn't feel the same as the Mustang.

Finally received my new "USA 250 Anniversary" license plate. Only took the state 3 weeks to get it to me. Then washed the car after putting it on

That's my wife's dream car, she loves cars with fins - but she would have to get it repainted. She hates that color on cars.

Ordered a new windshield. Started with a classic star break, but when they started the repair it cracked. Second windshield on this car. I never saw the stone this time, just heard a "click" while driving this time.

Washed and waxed it

In addition to the Mustang, right now I am working on a project with one of my grandsons. A 1974 Triumph Spitfire. He wanted to work on a project car with me and his first choice was a 1999 TransAm like we used to have, but I told him we needed to look at something easier. The Triumph is on a...

That looks good, where did you get the welt? I did that on my 2006 so it's been many years and hadn't thought about it on my 2024.

Put the summer wheels and tires on! Hopefully our weather cooperates and we don't see a drop in temperature again or snow flurries like this weekend.
