BA Mustang

My dad thought about some dog dish rims for his truck. From pics we saw they looked pretty good on them.

Maybe they look good on other cars, but when they originally came on my 73 mach I wanted to hurl. so bad.

So who locally sells PPG paint?

I went to Moores on bob wallace and they only sell DuPont and HOK. Then I went to Alabama color technology and they seemed to be closed. Should I just order it online?


EDIT: Might be going with HOK. $587 for 1 gallon of base, 1 gallon of 2nd coat, and 1 gallon of clear directly from HOK.

Here is a pic of HOK SG105 Blue Blood.

BA!!! Your Mustang is starting to look like a Camaro with all the changes. Why didn't you go with a cowl hood? Everyone knows cowl hoods are for Chebbies. LOL kennyg

BA Mustang

I wish it looked more like a camaro. I'd love to own a first gen firebird or camaro, and I almost did but the guy wouldn't come down on his price.

The only vehicles I saw the HOK color on were chevys at least on google.

Think I might change the oil and spark plugs later this week. Going to pull the trans and fix my gears first.

BA Mustang

Pulling the transmission today. Got to go pick up some tranny fluid and maybe get 2 more jack stands and then start to take it out. Shouldn't take but a couple hours to get it out and then a few more to fix the gear. Tired of having to wait to shift into 3rd and doing a bunch of extra shifting to downshift into 3rd.

BA Mustang

Transmission is sitting in the garage floor now

Took longer than expected because I had to take a couple hours and rest.

BA Mustang

I hate transmissions

Took my T5 apart to try and fix 3rd gear. Just put it back together and now the shaft doesn't move and it only shifts between 3rd and 4th.

Don't feel like taking it apart again today, I'd probably break something.

How long does it take to burn up valves with no exhaust? I've only got the exhaust manifold bolted on to the 67.

Rogue

NOT TOO LONG,

just get a small 12 inch pipe connected and you will be fine, and loud

BA Mustang

I can do that. I'll just cut my old exhaust piece that connected to it. See what it sounds like before the header or turbo is put on.

BA Mustang

Its loud!
I like it

Rogue

not bad at all

BA Mustang

Yeah, but dad is mad about me taking my exhaust off(however, I did more than take it off).

I'm either going to get turbo stuff or a header.

mustang6804

yeah we ghetto rigged a thrush turbo muffler today! It was fun

BA Mustang

Also has a new nickname, its officially called "The Truck".

mgreene

So where are you planning on getting the turbo exhaust manifold for the six?

BA Mustang

Just run a J pipe off the stock manifold.

BA Mustang

Ordered header, port divider, tailpipes, and x pipe today.
