Hey guys! I'm Jim, not sure if anyone remembers, but I used to frequent this forum a lot 6 or 7 years ago. I mainly poked around the 72-76 and the 77-79 sections. Life happened, and I more or less fell off the radar. One thing you never outgrow is a love of your first Ford! Back then, I had a...

I vote for the supercharger. Considering your engine's low milage, it will hold up well to the strain of a good supercharger. It would also be easier to stick one of them on, as opposed to swapping in a new motor, and dealing with the computer issues, motor mounts, etc...For ideas, try going...

Be careful. I also thought I was buying a low-mile '79, but came to find out that it had over 153,000 miles. I do not have this problem, but I have heard of rust issues with the gas tank. Take her for a GOOD drive..open it up on the highway. Mine ran great for the ten minite test drive, but...

You should have one PM. Jim

Darn. The URL isn't even a link?! Help? :bs Jim

Hi guys, I finally finished my homepage, and from now on, the URL will be in my sig. Now, I have one question. Rather than having the full URL displayed, how do I make it appear as different words? Is this what Hyperlinking is?? Thanks. Jim

Ok, one more question...do late '70's Ford F-150s have the 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern? Sorry to ask so many questions. Jim

So..for example, if I were to find a 1977 Cougar with slotted mag wheels, then those wheels would most likely have a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern? I know I have seen cars around town for sale with the slotted mags on them...just wondering...Thanks! Jim

Thank you very much Lee! Maybe this will make my search for slotted mags just a little easier...I really appreciate it! Jim

Hey all. I am wondering about the wheel bolt patterns on late 70's ford cars. Are they all the same? Are factory wheels interchangable between T-birds, Cougars, and Mark Vs? I know that there is a difference between '73 Thunderbird bolt pattern, and a '79 bolt pattern because the wheels off of...

When I complete High School in two years, my dad is going to give me his 73 Thunderbird! I know I mentioned it here before, but now, I can show you all what it looks like! The color is 'Mahogany Fire,' and it is completely original. Jim

I also have the stock Turbine wheels on my 79 TL. Currently, I am looking for some slotted mags. I love the look of the Turbines, but they just are not wide enough! With a good set of slotted mags, they can be nice and wide...and still look awesome. Jim

Does the LTD have the bucket seats and floor shift combination? Does the dash cluster have the tach. and stuff as well? Thanks. Jim

I would be very intersted, but I live in Ohio! What kind of condition is the front bumper in? does it have the guards, as seen on the majority of these cars, or does it have the three smaller guards? Please let me know. If you wish, you can send me an e-mail, it is [email protected]...

This is my Dad's 97 Ford E-150 'Explorer' Conversion Van. It has got to be the coolest van around! Notice the polished aluminum AR wheels, dual exhaust(with Flowmasters, of course :) ) and it also has custom taillights! It has the 5.4 V8. On the inside, it has grey cloth, woodgrain trim, four...

Hey all! This is the 'Other' Thunderbird we owned. It is a 95 3.8 V6 with the ground effects, and spoiler. We loved the car, but it was going to need work that we weren't willing to pay for. I believe it had arounf 117,000 miles. It always turned heads wherever we took it. It will be missed. So...

Those are INCREDIBLE deals!! I sure wish I had the money...but I'm happy for now. Besides, in a few years I might get some new wheels(I am searching for slotted mags.) so I will count my blessings and be glad that my turbine wheels are still in good shape, and look great even without their...

Anyone?? :confused: Anyone??? :confused:

I am just testing to get my custom sized avatar to work...Thanks. Jim

Also...how wide can I go with tires and wheels, in the front and back? I can see 255's in front, and 285's out back, without many clearance issues, but wanted to ask the experts! Thanks. Jim
