Hard to believe but it's been 5 years ago today that we lost our buddy and Mustang/Shelby enthusiast Chris Brown. RIP buddy you are missed by everyone that ever met you!!

Coming from the heat wave in the Midwest, I thought the weather was awesome!!

Just saw that respected carburetor restorer Joe Bunetic passed away recently.

Great guy, local to me but I know he restored carbs for a lot of people. Jim Cowles used him, among others.

I'm sure more than a few SAAC members knew Joe!

Bummer. I did not know him but certainly enjoyed reading his posts. RIP

Passed away 25 years ago yesterday, 11/13/1999. Those that knew him in the Shelby/Ford community will never forget him!! RIP Wayne!

Have a blast!  Party the Chris way.

Well Lord knows I partied with Chris many times, but that's rough on a guy!! Truly one of a kind. RIP

We all miss you man! Hard to believe he's been gone for over 3 years now.😢For those of you that didn't know him Chris was truly a highly regarded expert & enthusiast in the Shelby/Boss/Ford world.
Show is in his hometown Saturday 10/19. Luckily once again we are going to have great weather!!

Thank guys, I will pass along the info. I personally really like the white stripes especially with white interior, and he is really just doing it as a driver, but it is his call.

It was repainted many years ago, so hard saying. Makes sense that it wouldn't be on the build sheet, my bad.
Thank you!

I know a gentleman with an early 69 GT-350, red w/white interior. I know gold stripe is normal, but is it possible that it could have had white stripes originally? Would that be on the build sheet (if he can find it)?

Thanks in advance.

I like to use anti-seize on the original type only between the lug nut taper & wheel to prevent galling. Studs dry & torqued to 95-100. recheck as others have said!!

Just curious if anyone knows anything about this car other than what is in the Boss 302 registries.
pm me please
Thanks, Mike

Almost (if not all) storage lifts are made in China. Actually very few lifts of any type are still made in USA! I have seen many cases where the vendor goes out of business, then you can't find any parts down the road. In fact sometimes you can't get parts if something is wrong when they are brand new!! (I was in the automotive equipment business for 30+ years fwiw)

So definitely buy from a company that has been around for awhile.

Bend Pak always seemed to have decent customer service, parts availability etc as far as storage lifts go.

Could be problem with the balance job/tire/wheel assy. Happens a lot! Not all balancers & mounting adapters are created equal! I would find a shop that has the proper adapters to center wheel on  balancer via lug nut holes(same as on the vehicle) vs center hole. Lug-centric balancing.

I would suggest that you go to www.hunter.com and click on the red "contact hunter" option in upper RH corner. This will give you the sales & service reps in your area. They should know what shops in your area have the proper equipment/technicians to diagnose your situation if it is indeed a tire/wheel problem.

Hope this helps, Mike

Oh yes I forgot, I also put windlace around the entire tray.
