IDGAF if I have to paint the top white, and get the Big Bend Grille and chrome it 3rd party. I am going for the blue/white two-tone of the early days. Then i just need to get a set of white wagon wheels.
The clutch interlock/neutral safety switch was a little sensor on a rod, that when you pushed the clutch, it rode up the shaft and disconnected the connection.
My first prototype was a piece 1" length of 1/2" PVC notched to saddle and keep the connection from happening. The down side the...
If MT can have push button starting, why cant the MT have remote start as well? Toyota had one.
And I rigged my MT 98 F150 to have one. I loat the ability to have cruise control, but Ford is smarter than I am, they can work that out.
In the past 20 years, manufacturers have stepped up the audio game. If you are willing to throw down $1k-$1.5k just upgrade the speakers. But dont just go for big loud peak wattages. Yeah you can crank serious numbers, but if the equipment is crap, so is the sound. JL Audio have been the pinacle...

Yes & No. I got laid off, no joke. But I joke about it because in my industry(construction), we work ourselves out of a job with every nut and bolt we install. So i work 4-5 years straight with very few days off, then take a year off. I collect unemployment and live off my savings. I...
So then theres guys like me, that got laid off this past Friday. So... I'm in line a week early. Getting the professional bum's paycheck (unemployment). Waiting on a call from the hall!'
No blood, no foul. I grew up poor. Cant be mad about stuff you have no control over. But even though I'm not considered "low income" any more, doesnt mean that frugal mindset has gone away. I still seem cheap as hell to my wife at times, but that savings cushion grew enough where we can buy my...
If I can help it, I have usually attempted to maintain a manual transmission in my garage. After counting almost all the vehicles I have owned in the last 20 years, 2/3 were rowed by hand.
