Time to invest in the country and fix the infrastructure and especially the grid not to mention security from foreign and domestic hackers. These would be great investments for the future. Beats the hell out of giving money back to rich folks to support their lifestyles. We all know in their good hearts; they really need that mega-yacht so they can hire workers to keep it afloat.

I also wonder how folks vote. Can't imagine the mentality of someone who could vote for Margorie Taylor-Green, Lauren Boebert or Herschel Walker. Must be the water in their districts? If this is the future leadership and you think things are bad now!

No issues on the inside, as I have 1 1/4" clearance from the tire to the spring with the 245-60 x 15 wheels. I assume you are using the inboard rear end snubbers and have removed the factory Mustang snubber sheet metal.

I do not like running the track tires on the street as they pick up too much debris and sandblast the body here in Florida. I like the Comp TA's just fine on the street, as sudden downpours are common and I'm glad I have some tread. I've put over 16,000 miles on my replica and try to drive it as much as possible this time of year since the temperatures have moderated. It is no fun in 95-degree Florida summer weather unless you enjoy a moving sauna. My first long trip to Charlotte from Daytona, my right tennis shoe started to melt on the floor pan, so they do get very hot from the exhaust system under your feet.

Good luck and have fun.

I run 245-60 x 15 on 7" Torque Thrust D's with no issues. I also had 255-60 x 15 Comp TA R1's for track use with only a slight rub under full jounce. I do have my wheel openings rolled and only get the rub with over 1/2 tank of fuel in the R-Model fuel tank.

Finally got notification that my date coded windshield has shipped. Does anyone have a recommended sealant for inside the gasket and around the perimeter of the gasket after installed?

Thank you.

Check carb gasket to intake. Found an interference issue with my Quick Fuels 750 as the gasket intrude on the manifold opening.

The roller bushings are the way to go if you intend to drive the car. This will be some of the best money spent, as it takes any wobble out of the pedals and allows smooth operation.

I recently shipped two engines from Daytona Beach to Sacramento area and strongly recommend building a box around them. One was a new Boss block and the other an aluminum 427 FE. Can't be too careful. I think both went via AAA Cooper with no issues or problems.

Lucas fog lights on Pittsburgh Craig's List for $800. Look like they need quite a bit of work and have a cracked lense, but if you need.

October 1991 Mustang Monthly photos. Hope these are of help.

It would make the most sense that the bolt threads and nuts be protected by installing to the engine compartment side.

I'm currently using a Carter pump in my GT 350 Competition replica, and it is steady at 5.5 psi.

Pretty cool Mercury station wagon in Hemmings this month. How about a custom order 428 with 4-spd?

I think if you use the oval head screws noted in the assembly manuals, the washers are required to seat correctly. It seems to me that when the interior panels were removed to install the side scoops, likely the mechanics were stripping the small screws holding the bezels to the fiberglass. Maybe slightly larger screws were used to reinstall the bezels when gorilla hands stripped them out. Just a theory. My July 68 car had the washers.

Last custom radiator I had made was for a Boss 302 T/A replica. Ron Davis Radiators used my 69 Boss radiator print and built a work of art!
