I plan on being there. I may be taking the wife's 1966 Dodge Charger but, I may just bring the '02 Mustang along, also.

Personally, I like Sprint Yellow. Also, unless you are going to change all the suspension and brake parts to put a V8 in the car and spend a fortune doing it, I would find an I6 from that date and put it back. Unless you're making a track car, you will appreciate the I6 every time you pull into...

There was an article in Hot Rod magazine that did a blow by blow, piece by piece parts/ design comparison on the Windsor/ Romeo engines. Since the Windsor 4.6 was designed for trucks and vans it's no surprise that this engine is considerably more robust in the bearings, etc.. After seeing the...

Even though I work at the show on Sunday, I enjoy the flea market on Saturday. Never know what will turn up.

ready to roll

I will be there working at the show, as well. :D

What color is the Mach1?

the14ftw: Great insight on tire choices! Any tire choice is definitely a tradeoff. You are correct about the rain capability of the GoodYear Eagle F1 AS. They run like they are on rails even in very heavy rain. That was their only saving grace in my application. I went with BF Goodrich G Force...

These are the ratings and part numbers for various Tremec transmissions for various applications. Tremec considers these as light duty units by their own definition. Note that the torque rating on the TR3650 is only about 10% stronger than the T45. To get a significant increase in torque...

Hey Bill1024 and LimeLight, thanks for posting this information! This show happens to be an excellent show and is attended by a lot of the same people every year. One nice feature of the show is that it is a drivers choice show. HVMA doesn't do the judging. If you register a car you get to...

Yeah, that's an awesome show/race meet. A lot of fun if you like muscle cars and racing (who doesn't!). I'm definitely going to try to be there this year.

Ok, I just got off the phone with Joe Doyle, the man in charge of Registrations et al. He said that as long as the Mustang is modded, it is welcome on Saturday and that goes for any year Mustang. Sunday is limited to antiques. His suggestion was to preregister (info on the link that I...

I'd say that by looking at your signature that your car qualifies as a modified, so that it would be good for Saturday's show. I'll check to see what the actual critieria is. I believe that it has to visually appear to be modified to qualify.

As regards caravaning up to the show, from the South, you will take the Taconic Pkwy. Notorious for State Police giving speeding tickets. If you saw the people driving on the Pkwy you'd know why. I once caravaned with a bunch of other Mustangs up the Taconic for a quite a ways. You will have no...

Yes, if you're just going to see the show and vendors, there are areas that the parking can get muddy. The secret is to be there EARLY! That gets you parking up by the gate which is nice and high and dry. I usually get there at 8:30 so I get really good parking! The "back lot" referred to is the...

I put GoodYear Eagle F1 All season tires on my 2002 GT convertible. Although these tires are very highly rated, I don't care for the ride. :thumbsdown: A convertible does not have the rigid body structure of a coupe and the Kevlar sidewalls on this tire are totally unforgiving of road bumps...

The auto is rated from the factory for considerably more horsepower than most people realize. The 4R70W is inherently a very strong transmission unlike the later 5 speed autos. Doing a "Jerry Mod" to the valve body and putting an oil cooler on it will result in the performance and durability you...

Correct! One more thing: NEVER wipe the inside of the pan or trans with a cloth! To clean the inside of the pan of worn off friction material, use a NEW small parts brush and BrakeKleen, or equivalent and dry it off with compressed air.

Hey thanks guys, I appreciate the kind comments about my Mustang. I'm the original owner and it has never been driven in the Winter. She has about 28K miles. I have to say that there are some VERY beautiful Mustangs that belong to members on this site, makes me proud to belong to this group!

I thought that I would post the link so you guys can get more info about the show. It's a pretty big show! http://www.rhinebeckcarshow.com/
