  • Thanks for all of the good advice - I'm going to look into fixing the leak and keeping my original radiator. To the person who asked about getting an OEM radiator, from what I've heard, Mustangs Unlimited might be a good place to start.

  • Thanks for the feedback, kechme93 and twocarnuts - I appreciate it. It turns out that the guy who tried to sell me and install a new radiator was only interested in making a sale. He got upset when I told him I am planning to have my original radi…
  • Yeah, I noticed there hasn't been much activity, VibrantChick. Unfortunately, a lack of time has prevented me from doing much playing on the Internet or with my car.

    Is everyone preparing for the upcoming winter months? I'm almost afra…
  • Thanks, FlyinTiger... I'll take a closer look to see if anything looks like it's missing. In the meantime, I ALWAYS keep the radio up! :) in I'm Back Finally... Comment by frankenstang October 2010
  • I'm trying, twocarnuts, but seeing your post reminded me I haven't been very faithful at logging on to TWF lately. Life has a way of keeping us from doing what we really want to do sometimes...

    Recently, I noticed that the passenger sid…
  • I have my policy with American Modern and go through a local (Rhode Island) agency called Sacchetti Classic Insurance. Their website is at www.sacchettiagency.com if you want to try them. …
  • I like the mud flaps, too. And they're practical in keeping road crap and sand from ruining the paint. Hmmm, maybe I'll get some after I figure out how to install my weatherstripping.

  • Well, here it is 2 weeks later and I STILL haven't put the new weatherstripping on...hopefully, next weekend, but I've just been too busy on weekends. I'll let you know if/when I ever get it installed. in Lower Driver Side Weatherstripping Comment by frankenstang April 2010
  • Sweet ride, cruzin gt! I've always love the red Ford used in '92, but was always fearful of getting the white interior with kids and pets... :)

  • Yes, thanks for posting the link, YellowandGreen. I have the yellow mustang registry as a favorite, but had forgotten that they have some good instructional material there. Hopefully, I won't mess up the installation of my new weatherstripping...<…
  • Welcome aboard - sounds like you have a great car. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics.

  • I like it a lot, John, but there's something about the oval shape that makes it stand out. Maybe I've just seen too many round stickers in my life...
  • Haven't had a chance to do it yet, YellowandGreen, but hope to this coming weekend. I was told by a reliable source to just try to splice in the new piece as a replacement for the worn piece by cutting both at 45 degree angles, so I plan to give th…
  • Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout... Very nice work, John! I like #5, too!

  • Good luck with your new TWF, TulsaBill!

  • I like #4, too. Would it be possible to have the top line say, "Fox Body White-Yellow-Red Feature Mustang Club" so people don't wonder why my yellow car is in a "Triple White Fox" club? Just a thought...
  • Thanks for the tip - I found what I was looking for right away and it didn't break the bank (not yet, at least...).

  • Well, we've gotten somewhere between 6 and 10 inches of rain here in RI since Saturday morning and now it's starting to snow. Can't wait for spring - at least the long range forecast is looking pretty good!

    Hope your weather is better...…
  • Darn, it's been a great winter as far as not having a lot of snow in RI, but the roads are full of salt and sand and I don't dare take out my '93. Luckily, I can take it up and down my driveway once in a while...

  • Hi John,

    Thanks for all you do to keep the site up and running and Happy New Year to you, too! I only wish I could find more time to be online and communicating with everyone. I've never been to the Carlisle event, but am looking forwa…
  • From what I was told, the car was never in any accidents, but it was definitely repainted in spots. The inspection I had performed substantiated both. So, it looks like it wasn't the original paint that dripped. And I can't believe that factory d…
  • Merry Christmas, everyone. Actually, here in northwest RI, we got between 18 and 20 inches of the fluffy white stuff. While it makes for a nice Christmas, it'll be a lonnnnnggggg time before it's gone! in Who's diggin out???? Comment by frankenstang December 2009
  • I had my '93 out yesterday for a little while. The temp was in the 60s, so I didn't put the top down, but it was nice to rev it up a bit before our New England winter sets in. As soon as the first salt goes on the road, I'll pack it in for the yea…
  • Hi,

    Thanks for the heads up about Sturgis. I couldn't get the link to work so I searched for the link, but the site is not currently available.

    So, when you all go to a rally and it's a long distance, do you drive or trailer…
  • Thanks for the information. Yes, there is moisture coming from the floor, but it also hangs in the air (and on my car) whenever it is wet outside for any length of time. The other day, I took my car out of the garage and found that the chrome whee…
  • Just saw your post that mentioned covering your car in the garage during the winter. My car will be garaged, too, but we don't have the luxury of climate control. So, I'm wondering if anyone has had any negative experiences in using a car cover in…
  • Thanks for all of your posts - I appreciate it and tend to agree with the idea that the car will be more fun to drive than to look at sitting in my garage. I didn't take it on my last 200 mile trip, but am planning a possible leaf-peeping journey o…
  • Is the paint all original and in good shape? By "new clutch," I assume you mean it's a 5-speed, which is worth more.

  • Thanks for all of the comments. I tend to think that the color is added through a painting process, too, as opposed to being molded in the final color. Hopefully, I'll be able to stop by Tasca Ford (home of the Tasca Racing Team), which I live nea…
  • Thanks for your insights, Roughneck and 2RareFoxes. I think I would want to try "patching" the black rather than completely re- painting something that had the color molded in. I've never had much luck with surface painting on plastic and, like th…
