More fun with feature “Cars”

I had good feedback on the Cars ‘conversion’ of my feature car and since I offered to do another I thought I would share it. This time I did a red ’92 for cobra2top. Being red and all it made sense to base it on Lightning McQueen. I didn’t...

The Feature Mustang as a Cars character

It’s been pretty quiet around here this summer. I have been driving the ‘Stang just a little lately; mostly as a means of ‘mental health’. It really helps to clear my mind. I haven’t been using the computer much this summer. There is just too much else to keep...

Originating Dealership

UPDATE: After feedback from several people, it seems that this is not an accurate way to determine the original dealership your car came out of. I did hear from one person that he got his by calling Ford Customer Service. If you saw my post on window stickers, one...

Reproduction window stickers

Ron E. wrote me to inform me that he found someone who does reproduction Mustang window stickers. There are a variety of printing options available and he has posted on the SVT Cobra Owners Assoc. forums all of the details. I have not had one generated for my car...

Ford Customer Service Provides “Build Sheets”

I’ve heard about and seen letters from Ford to Mustang owners providing information on original options. Some time ago Ron sent me a copy of his along with the phone number to call to request one. I never got around to it until I decided recently that I should...

Carlisle 2007 wrap-up

Well folks, it’s in the books. And, I have to say that my first Carlisle All-Ford Nationals was more fun and more successful than I had hoped. I am still riding the adrenaline rush of it all. I haven’t had a decent nights sleep since Thursday of last week....

Made it!

Well, I actually made it to Carlisle and the car is in one piece. We rolled into there around 6:00 PM and had an hour to detail the car after the 300+ mile trip before they kicked us out at 7:00 PM in order to close the building. Road...

Carlisle – expected turnout keeps looking better!

I keep getting a trickle of people expressing a desire to join us. Some are previously registered and only recently became aware of what is happening with the “feature” cars. This is very good and I try to keep the people in-the-know at Carlisle aware of this. I email...

Adventures in ordering Mustang parts

Over the last couple weeks I have been trying to clean up the old Mustang and in the process I decided that it was better to replace some items than to clean them (some items don’t clean very well). Also, I needed the correct boot for my car. When...
