would the world record price

be for the high or the low?

iowa

very nice

thanks for posting

iowa

i'm surprised that the old wiring

isn't meticulously restored

in the name of originality.

this would be more in line with

the acid standards of this site.

i'm not knocking it, just wondering.

iowa

is there a good link

to how to rebuild a water pump?

iowa

that sounds great!

and, that's quite a set up

you have to run the engine like that!!

iowa

very nice!!

inspiration for me and my '65 FB

iowa

we just replaced my son's brand new fuel pump!

had less than 100 miles on it.

car would run fine for about 5 minutes

than would 'dog' out.

checked lines = ok

installed new fuel pump = runs great!!

iowa

welcome!!

those are two awfully

good looking cars!!

iowa

as mentioned above

documention is the key

i’d like to know the definition of ‘clone’

how many pieces of a car would have

to be replaced before it was considered a clone?

many restored vehicles are described as "original,"

when what is meant, is that they only look original!

An original vehicle would be one

exactly as built by the factory

that has not had any changes made to it.

everything absolutely original and untouched!!

original tires, exhaust, paint, oil, oil filter

paint runs, ugly welds etc.

even the air in the tires

and finger prints of the production line workers

who assembled her!!

ie COMPLETELY 'untouched.'

iowa

no one is more severe

on the issue of VIN or data plates then the FAA

when restoration of an aircraft is envolved.

yet, an antique airplane can be completely restored

using airworthy parts ‘equal’ to the original

and using the original data plate!!

Glacier Girl is a Lockheed P-38F-1-LO Lightning

World War II fighter plane, 41-7630, c/n 222-5757.

it was the one buried under the ice on Greenland for 50 years!!

it was restored to airworthy condition

and is about 5% original, probably less,

AND is perfectly legal!!

No one disputes this!!

i have the original under-dash harness's

for my k car and off the '66 donor car.

really, they don't look to bad

other than well aged.

i would think that if one did a careful inspection

of the old wires, and made care repaires,

install them correctly

and carried a fire extinquisher

that one would be reasonable safe from fire?

does all the concurs cars that are judged to the nth degree

have brand new wiring?

that dyno video above

was awesome!!

iowa

back to the wiring issue

i remember when i restored my very 1st car

a '63 beatle

i had thot about replacing all the wiring

and was told that the old wiring was

much better than the new repro stuff

and to just make sure that there were no shorts etc.

are the repro mustang wiring kits better?

thanks

iowa

too bad!!

makes me wonder

how fireproof my back garage is?

inspires me to check it out

what could be worse than the loss

of an early K code?

iowa

do the modern mustangs have hydraulic clutches?

iowa

since installing our new CF clutch PP

from NPD

we have also noticed a look more pressure on the clutch pedal

one has to be careful when letting it out!!

iowa

Groß Gott
