So there has been some good help here to get you thinking, but we have not addressed the tow vehicle situation. Rule of thumb here is BIGGER is BETTER. Will a f150 tow an enclosed 24 foot hauler with car yes it will. I did it for years but with a load leveler hitch,tranny cooler, and air shocks. This was necessary for my combination to work well. So if you have 5000 or 50,000 to spend on a hauler get something you will enjoy on your way to your event. I have an Ecoboost set up that pulls 10,000 lbs like its not even there. So remember what our fathers towed with,most had station wagons and half ton trucks this was good enough for 99 percent of the population but they didn't have enclosed trailers back then. Good luck on your search.

So lets start with your tow vehicle - what is its capability, then lets talk about your budget. This will put us in the right direction of helping you with a sound decision.

 That's around the time I got bit by the cobra fangs. Look at all the cars with day 2 mods, cars painted refrigerator white,mud flaps,67 wheels on 66s, wrong wheels on almost every car,big and littles for that stance ,stereos,aftermarket shifters,exhaust systems,racing stickers to adorn the engine compartment. Nobody cared back then they were just 10 year old used and abused hot rods,what a great time to be part of this automotive culture. :)

Is it me, or is a Dually doing a burn out lame. I would rather see a civic or a corolla with some atf poured under the tires doing big smokey burnouts with the tires exploding and shredding with the crowds laughing and screaming with excitement cause no one cares about the cars,tires, or anything else about the situation. ;) Trailer burnouts are kinda unique thou :)

Well I think Danica can model better then she drove race cars... No more racing for her, on to the next chapter in her life- Aaron Rodgers has plenty of cash to float her boat so to speak ;)

Fastback- There are 2 types of CAR guys, Original sounding and looking types that have to be correct in all aspects, and the others that want that Sound and performance from their cars. Where the waters get a little muddy on this site is to help people with their immediate needs what ever it may be. These cars were meant to go fast and sound great but 50 years ago straight pipes,cherry bombs, turbos were the way to go. Fast forward 50 years and technology comes to the rescue,there are so many GREAT SOUNDING systems you just have to ask around what others are using. A nasty camshaft and and a new set of Flowmasters or Borlas is what most performance or race car guys that are required by their track, are using. They make MANY different sounding sets so ask around you will find what your for. Good Luck!

That 1 of 1 is a special car... I asked on the other forum before the crash if I should paint my 2 cars that were correct SPRING TIME YELLOW painted cars, their oem color or change it up. These were non Shelby mustangs... Most said change it, so I painted one SPRINGTIME the other bright RED. The consensus was the soft hue of the Springtime car didn't get the wow factor going for very many. I was looking to sell the cars and wanted opinions of the good ,bad and the ugly. The red car sold quickly which was basically a clone of the yellow car. Months went by with no sale and then decided to go red on it as well it sold within a couple of weeks. This is not scientific by no means but more people stopped by to eyeball the red ones.

Good grief I just found out one of the spring clips on the deluxe seat backs is missing, broken off. Does any one know of a source where I could purchase one and how does one fix that situation? :-\

I watch that show regularly, why I don't know, Dan loves to upcharge his customers by stating he replaced the SYSTEM. Look at the hours and parts money he says he has in it. OMG...  We replaced the ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM That's 150 hours Carb-fuel line-fuel pump-tank, so did they go on vacation to EUROPE for a month or so after they installed the new SYSTEM IN A FEW HOURS OF WORK! I know its a TV show and most is BS but I believe there are many people that just drop it off and drink the KOOL AIDE he provides. To each his own... :-\ :'(
