Bought in 2007 with 21k. Drove it today and it's showing 47k.

If you've got the manual it's in there. From what I remember, It needs to be in a certain position (either park or all the way back). Then the sleeve below the leather part will slide down exposing the two small set screws (they might be torx). Remove those two screws and it needs to be in...

Don't post much around here. Saw this thread though. I'm close to Pell City. Can't do it this weekend though.

Happens quite frequently on mine. Most want to know when did Lincoln start making a two door car. When I say it's 12 years old, they pretty much stand there with there mouth open. Thank you very much. ;) Best one was when I had the CC recall done and driving out of the dealership, a...

I had an Evolution 4 Covercraft cover for my '68 Impala and it held up very well. Although it was a nice cover, as others have said, it's no substitute for a garage. Dust could get under it, then when it rained it left "cover marks" all over the car. It all washed off though, but it was a...

I just purchased the tan driver's side panel. Didn't really need to spend the $$$ right now, but not sure when a deal like that would come around again for what he's calling a "new" panel. Fast Parts Network lists these panels at $736. I'm sure Max @ 5star or Team Ford could beat that price...

OK, I posted this over on LOD, but since a couple here are looking for help, I'll add it here. Finally got around to doing my trannie fluid change and 1-2 accumulator upgrade. Fun job indeed! I consider myself a decent shadetree mechanic, but have never done any transmission work. I...

Here's my story and I'm sticking to it. My car had the squeek. It had 25k miles at the time and the original belt.;) Replaced both pullies, still had the squeek. Got a gatorback belt, no squeek.:D

You DO NOT want maaco to attempt rust work... They MIGHT give you a 30 day warrenty IF they try to do something. Be prepared to fix it again on day 31...

Well... I'm sure you'll get all kind of negative answers here, but I'll give you 2¢ on what I did. I had my 1968 Impala painted by them. I did a complete color change with an epoxy primer. I did all the body work and removed all the trim, interior and everything else I didn't want them to...

I'm with XLRVIII here! Been to Talladega Short Track many, many times. One of the last places one can STAND ON THE WALL and have the cars come by inches from your feet! Saw the last WoO race there and they were in 14 to 15 sec range on the 1/3 mile track. The super late models are in the...

Hey! That's in my neck of the woods. I've been to BIR many many times and seeing what normally runs in that class, I bet that thing would smoke the field! Too bad the track is dormant right now. It is the third oldest racetrack in the county (behind Indy & Milwaukee). If I had some money...

Have/had them both, but on my 1999 Monte Carlo Z34. The 950's I LOVED them! Kept them rotated and got 62k miles out of them. When new, they were like electo-magnets! At least compaired to the Goodyear GSA they replaced (those sucked big time). Not so pleased with the 960's. Much more road...

The ones I have do "snap" into the felt window channel. Pretty much all you do is insert the front edge (by the mirror) then bend it so it will snap into the downward edge at the rear of the window. Then it will "pop" into place. Installs in seconds, removes in a few more seconds. The...

I have the WeatherTech's on my '97. The doors on both Gens are the same. The mirrors are different. I'm pretty sure the Gen 1 mirrors will get in the way how of they mount. I've heard some have trimmed (dremeled) them to fit. I think it would seriously compromise how they mount. You...
