@ChiTownStang26 ....... yeah, the belly pan and side pans are really loved - I say sarcastically.

@dtillsstang ...... I say this just for the sake of "maybe it's a bit interesting". Quite a few years back we were fooling around on the dyno with a 350 that we had stroked to a 383. It was a long weekend and we had some time. There had always been good-natured shop "ball busting" about what...

@dtillsstang .... started changing oil with my grand father when I was 10. He built all manner of custom car and marine racing engines and had a dyno. Last report I had was that Conoco made the Motorcraft oil and well known VI packages for the Motorcraft oil were made by S-Oil to Ford's...

@dtillsstang .... yes, you can do it. IMO forget the Amsoil and any of that other over hyped crap. That crap is more expensive and often not nearly as good as Ford Motorcraft oil.....so, IMO use Ford Motorcraft FULL synthetic oil and the Ford oil filter. Change your oil as hot as you can stand...

Give the credit to Tony Unica who posted the original video and comments that went world-wide on Mustang Forums and Hein at DIYvan.com who got the blueprints directly from Ford to fabricate the covers after discussing the issue with Ford and obviously convincing them that there was enough of a...

@mrnavy2 ..... bondo and fiberglass will work fine with any medium, if you wish to. From your picture it looks like there are fibers where the break line is on the right hand side of the damage? If there are that is a composite material. I have not used any form of "plastic weld" but have used...

@mrnavy2 ..... the answer depends on how much you want to spend and how handy you are. If you can push the area a bit from behind to pop it out a bit that would be a good start then fiberglass patch the area, apply bondo with fiberglass strands, sand, prime, paint and clear coat. There will be a...

@IFFV68 ..... exactly and IMO there is nothing wrong with speed or spending money on it.

@Cucurú ...... back in the day when the family had our own dyno and built car and boat HP engines we tested a lot of air filters. The crap ones (think family hardware stores) could collapse at high induction rates but, for example, the Motorcraft OEM air and oil filters were just as good as any...

@MMM981 ..... no question color schemes are personal. I like @DT-GT advice - maybe give them a second look? I bought a 24GT Premium Convertible with vapor blue metallic paint and space gray seat "insert panels" same with the door inserts. It had sat on the lot for 6 months as all the young...

Start with the fact that you changed the car that was running fine and work out who did what to your Mustang.

I constantly hear I can't understand why my transmission, engine etc. is overheating when I am just driving it in a "spirited" manner or what I am doing is "normal". Neither term has any meaning whatsoever. as there are no meaningful empirical data points to those adverbs/adjectives. Even...

@Gregs24 ..... because when people post comments that can result in serious damage to a vehicle or be harmful to them it should be our obligation to reference (and more authoritative - in this case Tony Unica and Hein at DIYvan.com) countermanding posts. Hopefully, now that Ford has now...

@hoodscoops ..... I remove the dipstick from behind the strut brace. After scratching the brace I now drape an old cotton sock over it to prevent damage. It's still a knuckle buster.

@fishinrich ..... you won't have to wait 50 years. Probably two years will show damage concerns. With those holes right behind the front wheels dirt, stones and in some places salt will be fired at high speed right down the inside of the underbelly pads. As my Mustang tech - who owns a...

@AzkAdAsh ..... cars that actually count are BMW, Porsche, Subaru and a lot of teenagers in VWs and Hondas that are probably turbo-ed. - but - the ridiculous number of family cars that want to race is nuts. Drivers try to push from behind but I don't bite as I don't want to be the idiot who...

It never fails to astound me how people can pretend to speak with authority on a topic they have obviously done no research on and therefore haven't a clue what they are talking about. I have to presume that people keep posting this particular topic just for the fun of trolling for stupid...

@GrabberB ..... respectfully, your comment shows a lack of education on this topic. You might be slightly better off in Virginia but costal owners and owners where salt/brine is used on the roads will see an immediate problem as has been shown repeatedly.

@AZ_Ryan ..... then do some reading, there are many posts and videos of this on many forums and the topic can even be "googled".

@dusman59 ..... how many recalls has Ford issued wherein they took responsibility for a design flaw.
