Thanks John........a number of place have a LEFT caliper......but none have a RH?!?!?!? I'd rather rebuild both than have one new. We'll get there.....Thanks -

With so many different cars on the Fox platform I never thought parts would be an issue. Mustang, Capri, Fairmont, Granada, LTD II, Marque etc.....BUT the 79 Mustang Pace Car WITH 2.3 Turbo has it's own calipers!! Rebuild kits are easy so we will try that. Thx -

What I thought were common parts are impossible to find. Calipers for the 2.3 turbo model have not been made in many years and a rare!!!! Strange. -

TRX wheels are 15.3 in dia. Tires are still made but $500 ea. I ordered a set of TRX wheels that are 16" but look the same. MUCH easier to get tires. Thanks all! -

We were told a odd story of the car by the estate seller. Only comfortable saying 'family issues'. We did get paperwork showing 6K miles is correct. Thanks -

Nice clean work on my favorite Bird!

PLUS....this will affect ' R2 April 2025' and forever going forward. I feel we have done well talking about our hobby. THANKS!

OK...AGREED. BUT it is the number one factor affecting our hobby. I checked with some of my friends that own brick and mortar hobby shops. They are already having a hard time getting stock. This may become worse than the 'DEATH of the Hobby' in the 70's or anything else we have faced. Thanks

Question about sales at shows after stock market downturn.
Dave Van replied to iBorg's topic in Contests and Shows
The bank Analyst in me says skip the show (looks like you are) The hobbyist says go. From a selling point shows are a dud for those with mixed collections of commons. ebay is very expensive but cheaper than a 5 hours trip with hotels, meals and gas, (tolls too in DC area)
