    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

    Thankfully I have 2 of the Monogram Pace Car kits and a MPC.....I like the car back in the day!!! Thanks

    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.

    Waiting on parts so I just was looking around car making mental lists of to do. Door panels will clean up and look great!! So far things are really good....but who knows what we may find....Thanks

    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!

    YEP! This one was very weird and as it is 2nd hand I don't want to post........shows there are still cars in barns out there!!!! Thanks
  18. Dave Van
    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
  19. Dave Van
    Yep 15.3" tires are out there $$$$$$$$ They make copies in 16"......hope to do that. thx
  20. Dave Van
    Real barn find 1979 Mustang Indy Pace car. Stored in 1988 6K miles. Will needs lots of work but really solid and complete. 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!
  24. Dave Van
    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

    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)
