Re: Cheap project car suggestions
I was just thinking today, if I were 10 years younger, a 5.4 32-valve Lincoln MK VIII would be fun. He mentioned the MK VII but I'd prefer the MK VIII.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I suggest a test fit of the new chain. I predict it will have a lot less slack than the old one.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

Trick for Expanding Stiff Springs
Saw this posted on the Lincoln forum. Seems like it would work in some cases.

I struggled once with a clutch pedal spring and think this would have been easier t...

Tiresmoke Car Show?
You guys have a great collection of hobby cars, from classic to modern and in between. You should put on a Tiresmoke car show.

HP Ratings

I thought the Gross HP was FHP and Net HP was RWHP (Misconception #1). Knew that manufacturers shaded ratings for various reasons, but didn't know it was so complicated.

Re: Software Update
Dave, Thanks for all you do for TireSmoke.org. I have all my projects since the Maverick on there and I still peruse them occasionally.
