    2013-2019 Ford Taurus Duraflex GT500 V2 Hood- Fiberglass : is this fine for daily driving?

    Ran a Duraflex GT500 hood on my SHO for over 3yr. My car was mostly garage kept. I had no real issues aside from the engine would get dirty and parts under the hood would rust from rain water. You do have to hood pin it. I would suggest a more modern flush mount hood pin design. If you have...

    Best drop in intercooler. GH vs Livernois vs. ??

    I like how you didn't explain 'meth' to the new user. You just drop "meth helps" haa

    i figured you guys didn't care for pics without the car in them so here you go. I took over 100 but most are scenic views.

    I can confirm the oil pan was wet the whole trip. That's why I thought it was a leak

    Wait, really? They eat oil? I thought for sure there is a leak because I'm not getting signs of consumption.

    Alright gentlemen and ladies, I made it home. Over 2200 miles on the original tires, fluids, brakes.. etc. I hope this inspires others to find cars that need rescue and use them to see more of America. Even if you're not quick with a wrench, YouTube and Google are libraries of knowledge that the...

    Haa, I appreciate that. Better to under promise and over deliver or something like that. I'm in my home state as of now (Oklahoma). 180mi from home. I will photo dump once I have wifi. Car is holding up fine. This engine sounds amazing above 4k rpm.

    Last day of driving. Left Cheyenne Wyoming this morning. Engine was 2qt low on oil and the front driver tire was 5-6psi low. Coming into Dodge City Kansas as I type this. No issues today that would require repair to keep going. Somehow averaged 30.9mpg on this leg. AC compressor is trying to...

    Sorry, been busy. Day three of driving, no issues really. Day one my flight got pushed so I had to rent a car and arrived to the SHO around 5pm. I lubed all moving parts, swapped the fuel pump assembly, threw a battery in it and it fired right up. Sunday I drove it from Wenatchee Washington to...

    Owner states he took it on a road trip and upon returning, parked it and never touched it again. Was fully operational when parked. The tires, although old now, look brand new.

    I have the highest level of AAA membership, many tools, more replacement parts then needed, a buddy running with me who is also quick with a wrench and time and money if things go south. Have no fear though, I will take many pics so you can all enjoy it whether it succeeds or flops. BTW, adding...

    I'm always worried about tank issues with older cars. Owner says rust is not an issue but the car has been parked in Washington.

    Does the Gen 2 SHO have aby issues with fuel tank rust/rott that I should be concerned about?

    While I understand your standoffish approach to this, As I said before "not my first rodeo". I have the time, skill and money to address issues that may arise. I would hope that I have the experience and knowledge to not destroy a car by simply bringing it back to life.

    Really? I watched his participation in the Ranger Race with his prep and such and he spoke completely normal with only sparing uses of his catch phrases.

    Derek is fun to watch, I've become sick of his clearly fake accent thing he does. Luckily when MotorTrend picked him up, he pulled back on it. Nothing beats the original, Roadkill, though.

    Thanks for the parts advice. I will grab up spares of the mentioned parts. I think having a spare fuel pump is smart. Stock is probably gummed up. Wow, that crank sensor is not cheap is it? I have a set of tires for it. Being that I have not owned this gen, I'm not sure what DIS module and CCRM...
