What are your thoughts on a remote regulator/rectifier setup to combat heat and exposure to the elements?

If you want people to look at it, then a Terminator; S550 mustangs are a dime-a-dozen and I don't even bother looking at them at car shows. But the Boss is a better CAR - way nicer than Mustangs build on the old Fox platform.

You called a supplier of a competitor and that supplier told you what he sells to the competitor? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that seems pretty sketchy on the suppliers part.

How many miles on all of these alternators? The amount of time on the car doesn't really mean much because if the car is rarely driven, the alternator isn't seeing much use. I bought my car from the 3rd owner - I have no idea if the alt that failed in it was the original one - it was a Ford...

Turbo and moving the alternator so it stays cooler - and makes it easier to change> :D

Don't make this guy angry! Maybe these cars will increase in value, but I don't expect them to fetch 150K (then again, the same could be said for AC Cobras, and original GT500s). Who knows - for now, spend the money and enjoy it or don't and sleep easy at night. There is no right or wrong...

They're sold to me, guys. Sitting in the garage now

Here you go. Hope this link works Camera Roll items 4-20-2019

Do you drive the '67 a lot now? I think you're going to find after you do this swap, you won't drive it that much, either. If the cobra feels like old technology, a 67 with a Cobra drivetrain is going to feel positively ancient. The impression I get from your first post is you like the newer...

The more I think about it, the more I don't get it. Why take a good car that is pretty rare and cut it up? Sell it, take your 67 and put a modern drivetrain in it with modern everything else. If the Cobra drivetrain is still so shitty compared to everything else, you're still going to be the...

Won't doing this just leave you with another car you are even further upside down on? How much do you have in it? I'd figure it would fetch in the mid 20s - maybe more depending on what is done. Spring is here and cars start to move then. I can understanding wanting something different...

Sure man - that will work. I'll PM you and we can set it up.

I'll take it as a spare. I'm in clover but work in Charlotte of of Arrowood. Can I pick up this weekend?

Call for an audit. The covenants usually have those required, so see if one has been done and get the information. As a member of the HOA paying dues, the Audit is available for you to review. Also: Move. If a lot of the houses are being rented, it's time to GTFO. It's all downhill from there.

Your neighborhood is better because of the HOA and because people who are looking for a better neighborhood tend to be attracted to ones that have some sort of enforcement to keep it better, which means a HOA. Parking cars on the streets makes the neighborhood look low rent. You're lucky...

No wheel hop there! How much of an effect did the FTBR have?

Dang...look at the torque WALL at the beginning. That thing must be a handful.

Was that for me?

How about an alternator?

OK what is 'assbook'. There is apparently a filter on the site that changes a word to 'assbook'. N/M - I think this Facebook...derp!

Never know what? 12 year old tires are unsafe to use - they have a shelf-life, even if they've never been mounted.

Start 'n Charge? I recall reading that there was still trouble even with those - they were built really well, but the Terminator is a determined beast when it comes to killing alternators. I'm pretty sure external regulators + really heat resistant windings are needed for these cars to give the...

What a shame - cars that are a piece of history (ie, the race-winning, 2nd, or 3rd place '66 Le Mans GT40s) I understand retiring to a Museum. Similarly, #1 00R. But this car is really not historically significant and should be driven. Instead it has sat for years and years. It would need a...

What is a Justin Wheeler alternator? Does it have an external regulator? What do they normally cost?

It's your money so spend it how you want, but I just hate to see oil wasted like that. Unless you are only driving it at the strip or race track, modern oils are so good, that changing that frequently just isn't needed.
