Unless the box is substantially bigger than the hood, stock Mustang hood fits on the bed on any half ton truck, even 5.5" long bed one. I picked up one I bought off FB marketplace for $100 and it fit without an issue. Just find someone with a truck.

Oh, man - that really stinks. You got good use out of it but still. Let us know what happened when you know...

It's the question you should answer yourself - if they're bad - which is somewhat easy to detect yourself, than replace them. Otherwise, no need to. I'd just use regular OEM bearing when replacing - ideally just buy a new hub.

I've ended up doing DriveAutoX event mostly because it was on our local lot 15 minutes away from my house and because of work travel I'll miss some of my local regular events. It's $150 but no work, 12ish runs on Saturday, 6ish run on Sunday and best 8 (best sat + best sun counts) in class...

The mods in your sig don't really have anything to do with alignment but yes - -2.8 with Steeda Plates should be doable. However - as TeeLew pointed out - you sort of wasted money on that alignment you just had done.

He likely slotted the strut hole because this is what Ford's manual says to do for camber adjustment. Don't take these bolts apart because you're going to mess up alignment (not much probably). Your plates have some room for more negative camber. Probably at least a degree. For reference, with...

No, there's thousands of manuals without Performance Pack.

If it was first event, they need a good heat cycle to get full grip. They'll be better on next one.

So question - since Shelbys were the best cars ever I assume that includes Shelby Charger ? And whole bunch of those great looking Dodges he made ? Right ? Right ?

Anyone going to St Louis ? I've signed up even though I haven't touched the car for a while and it likely will be my first event of the season, so I am sure it'll go great...

Did you check all the distribution centers for Tire Rack ? They showing low stock so one of them may have it - but either have to call or try searching entering different zip codes for different warehouses.

You need new long studs and at least 25 mm spacer - Apex or Optimum Performance (who also sells studs and nuts). Why not go to 305 if you have 11" wheel (short of some gearing considerations) ? Lug nuts - open ended Ford Performance ones work just fine. In fact I have unused set of SVE 19x11"...

That chassis twists every time you get on the gas - Shelby had some more bracing but still. It's almost 60 year old car - it was great back then, but comparing it to today's is mind boggling. And again - I drove this car a lot. To work, to get groceries, everywhere. Many times.

That's real funny. I get that '65 Shelby isn't A-code '65 I sometimes daily drive, but it isn't that different. I question if you actually drove it or whether it was stock and not some resto-mod. It had a drum brake in the rear....

Yeah, they're pretty terrible by today's standards. Not challenge it with current GT ? You are not serious, are you ?
