^^ I'll definitely have the wife rev the engine with the hood open and I'll take a listen and report back.

Almost sounds exactly like an air intake, but with a tinge of a loose rattle. The car otherwise performs as expected, so I wont loose any sleep over it. Maybe the service tech can jump in and take a ride with me.

Small update noise starts at 3,300 RPM when accelerating and is loudest when decelerating from 4,500 RPM. The highest RPM I have shifted at is right about 5K. Under break in I've been shifting between 3k and 4k as a norm. I have also been letting her warm up for about 5 mins before getting...

Took a short drive today and noticed in second gear and higher a whooshing/rattle type noise when I decelerate. This noise can be heard with windows up, but can also be heard (even better) with windows down. Ive got a little under 100 miles and thought I would check here before I take it to the...

Updated above post with stipe comparison, I beleive it is an exact match. I also looked over steering wheel and there is no way original tape is coming off lol. Also found a shop to paint my brakes, but they want me to provide the paint. Did anyone find Guardsmen Blue paint that was a perfect...

I posted pics of vinyl overlays and steering wheel tape in the heritage 350 section. I just thought I post update here. I probably should have posted this there in the first place, as there may be little intrest in Guardsmen Blue mods outside of Heritage or 50th Anniversary cars. Once I get...

Received some products (in Guardsmen Blue) from Bemaro! Pictures are sterring wheel tape and Brembo overlay. I also have products coming from Zimcraft. Both companies have been amazing and are true enthusiasts. I can say Bemaro Guardsmen looks to be an exact match. It is rainy here today, but...

Have to get use to the side angle, but from the top .... it is amazing. It almost looks clear like the rear of a mid engine exotic. 🤙

Thank you so much for the great explanation.. my father in-law is an old hot rodder (giving him my seat at the track attack) and normally if he was here would have schooled me. He would have said let's go to work and we would have to start disassembling the wheels/brakes and he would explain...

First... excuses my ignorance as I am not sure how to phrase this. I am trying to figure out why the hub area on the base 350 is so exaggerated. I am not sure I have properly described the part so I will include pics. When I look at the wheels, this is all I see. It does not help the Brembos are...

Well I've decided to defer my detail and ceramic and mothball the 350 until we move to Vegas in June. There is still 3/4 of the original tank of gas, and only 1/4 of the PDI was done. As small mods come in, I'll toss them in the trunk. Are there any special things I need to do before she goes to...

The OP is having a tuff go and it, and I truly sympathize. As far as a rental, your insurance will not cover rental for service issues. Even if the OP has 10 other cars he is owed a rental during extended service work. He has been inconvenienced and he continues to be inconvenienced. This is...

I understand where the OP is coming from, and at the same time can see there are some pieces to the puzzle still missing. I've have/had some very nice cars, but to be honest the majority are/were leased. Everyone knows there is nothing worse than an expensive car that is always broken. This is...

Do you think there would be anyway you could speak with the owner of the other HEP car? I would love to hear their story and have their VIN, Miliage, and build date. As many members have posted.... somewhere... somehow we need to track and sort these failures. I go from this is a small sample...

This X1000 ....

Now you have my attention, and this is something I was unaware of. I would really love more information on this chapter in performance engine history. The "engines no longer repairable" part sends shivers down my spine. Losing value on a car is one thing, having a car that's not repairable is...

1FA6P8JZ1L5552850 is SOLD to a Ford Family Member

I've heard of a few cars sitting for a day or two.... but never a week. Out of the whole situation, the week of sitting caught me off guard. He said we could pick it up and drive it after a week, but it would take another additional week to fully cure.

I think my heads going to explode lol. I never thought about the painted stripes not matching the other areas. 😓

Thank you all for your responses. I think each response had it's on merit and value. I ended up going with Ceramic Pro Gold Pkg, (I think a four layer treatment) The treatment is listed on your CarFax (had to provide my VIN) and has a lifetime warranty. There is an additional warranty for the...
