Years ago in 1974 when I work at a Ford dealership this is when there was no zip ties what are the mechanics you put the spring in a vise and use bailing wire to hold the spring compressed
my first car! Got it 10 years ago, 42k miles to it's current 89k miles. Easy to work on and has been very reliable as long as maintained! Do the aluminum coolant upgrades
I got mine couple of weeks ago and I'm satisfied with it, nevertheless, has a lack of many details. The one thing we need to keep in mind is that the primary product AMT is selling is a speedy/dragster car, so many details are omitted to achieve the "wild spirit" of the car for that purpose. I'm not a mustang fan but this year 1966 model, has something magic that catches me (that was the justification I gave my wife after buying the model), and I think it was pretty convincing as she went her way totally in peace 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Great build and very well done. Please keep up the great work. Greetings from Mexico lindo.😊😊😊😊😊
On my 1967 Coupe V8 I run a 69 mustang shroud which didn't fit that great until I changed the radiator out for a 67 Fairlane one and now it fits well. I also run a 10 blade Mustang which keeps it cool here in Australia. Note I'm not sure if US Fairlanes and Australian Fairlanes use the same radiator.
I was debating on selling my f150 for a lighting of the same or building out my truck to be the lightning I want. I think I'm gonna go with the latter. It should be cheaper and I could build it out my way. I was thinking the lighting could be a better starting point to build off of but from what you say I'm just gonna to stay with my truck and make it into a lightning
Using a F150 is cheaper and gives you more flexibility. No sense paying the Lightning tax if you are going to remove a bunch of Lightning from it. While these trucks were special in 1993, they aren't made of super-special parts by today's standards.
An old mechanic told me back in the 80's that if you set the points on a small block ford to a matchbook and the plugs to a dime, it will start perfect every time. And so it has worked perfectly for mine since those days. Older is sometimes better. :)
The tire seems to be an exact copy of the Pirelli MT60. Why not go with that one? That way you don't have to replace the front tire right away. What I hate about the stock seat is how it is tall on the back of the rider portion and isn't comfortable to sit on the back of. How is the touring seat in this respect?
The Pirelli was painfully expensive when I was shopping tires. The touring seat is exactly the same shape as the original one. I share your opinion of the stepped seat. I wish manufacturers would stop with that nonsense.
I am a 15 year old teenager and I am planning to buy a ford mustang s197 v6 manual and I am saving money to get but should I wait for be more older to buy it or should I buy it when I have the money?
I wouldn't buy one until you are of age to drive it. No sense just having it sit around. I'd also not borrow money to buy my first car, but it doesn't sound like you were going to do that. Insurance will be your biggest expense. Better price it out and budget for that.
@@chrisbrown113096 Chris a 2011 or later 3.7 with a set of rear gears at least 3.15.. better yet 3.31, 3.55 or 3.73 and you'll have a serious performance car vs the 05 model. That being said, any Mustang is a fun car. 🙌
This looks more like a Constellation 700 than an interceptor 750, has interceptor gauge cluster but straight pipes and the side covers look constellation.
I just picked two of these up so I can teach my son how to ride. 3 year unlimited mile warranty at this price point seems crazy. They have to be extremely reliable to make any sense.
Well at least it is considerably lighter than the Himalayan, and 90 per cent of the weight saved is on top due to no upper crash bars, lighter instrument pack, no screen and frame, no rear rack, lighter seat etc. In other words, a much lower centre of gravity. Indeed even the 19 inch wheel v 21 inch helps to lower the COG. That all said, lets remember that Itchy Boots lifted it a ton of times when fully LOADED with 50 lbs of extra luggage in her journey from India to the Netherlands and then half way up her trip from Tierra del Fuego to Alaska ( rudely interrupted by the "Plan-Demic" ) so hey dudes, Man the F*c* up all you "so called" Men watching this.
A good, honest and detailed video. I liked the Scram from day one, surprising as I absolutely hated the looks of the Himalayan. I ride a 2020 Honda CB1100RS (I'm in the UK, I understand the RS wasn't exported to the US) which hibernates during the Winter months, I've toyed with the idea of a second bike to use on our rough country back roads while the Honda sleeps for some time. The opportunity arose recently when I saw some UK dealers were unloading Scrams with £1000 discount to make space for the new Himalayan 450s, with a Scram version soon to follow. Temptation got the better of me and ordered a 411 yesterday for delivery next week. I've wasted no time ordering a centre stand, rear luggage rack, crash bars and a first service oil, filter and gasket kit to carry out the first 300 mile service at home. That's what I love about these much misunderstood bikes. They're a simple, easily maintained, rugged, any weather Mule. Can't wait to receive mine.
I'm in the UK and after seeing Scrams advertised reduced from £4700 to £3700 while remaining stocks last, bought one this morning for delivery in July (2024). It will be a second bike, stablemate to my 2020 Honda CB1100 RS and Winter hack while the Honda hibernates. The Scram 411 has been discontinued due to the latest Euro emissions regs and will be replaced by a similar stripped down version of the Himalayan, sharing the same water cooled 40 bhp 450cc engine. The launch of the new model called the 'Guerrilla' is expected in mid July 2024.
Thanks for this video. I was descending the Dades Gorge in Morocco last week when I lost drive. Fortunately I was headed down so was able to coast to a safe place to stop. A companion found your video which pointed to the problem and we were able to effect a temporary repair with a piece of wire found at the roadside which we wrapped around the shaft and twisted it tight. I rode 60 miles to a town where I found a mechanic in a hole in the wall workshop who found a nut with the same thread and a couple of washers which fitted. He torqued it with a tommy bar and a long pipe and, despite no language, he indicated that the nut would go nowhere soon! Again, many thanks.
The reason I made that video. I couldn't find anything online when it happened to me and was thinking I'd have to tear into the transmission. So happy it helped you.
To answer the question on the title? Simple answer No. out of thousands and thousands of cars , makes brands and models. Why on earth would you choose a beautiful iconic historic car like the legendary mustang. If you want them to just run it into the ground. Then go ahead and do so. Not saying all 17 year olds will do this cause they won’t. But the majority will most likely. You see so many of these cars on sale on fb and other places all wrecked up , tore up and half the car scraped up. Because most people do not know how to take care of beautiful cars or even know how to drive them properly when you’re talking about a high performance car with more horse power and torch than the average car. I’m a mustang owner and proud enthusiast. I do not believe that the majority of people know enough or care enough to take care of cars that are muscle cars. Too many people who don’t respect these cars or even care and don’t even have a care in the whole to take pride and appreciation for these cars. So many young people hop in a charger or challenger and a mustang and think they are now cooler. And end up burning out , not only tearing up the car but also crashing into crowds of other teenagers. And what does this do , just put other people in harm. I think the young adult needs to be mature enough and responsible enough also having respect and appreciation of his or her own car. Because not doing so could not just hurt themselves but also other people. I said enough.
Here in Illinois at a dirt track they still run these cars but they have dirt tires and if I remember right they use Hoosier dirt tires that is what they should have in the kit
Nice build, and I really like the color combination!. As far as the 289 fender emblems go, Shelby's don't have those, they were only for standard Mustangs. ☺
Great instructions! Thank you! I've got a 2007 Ford Mustang GT convertible. Bought it new. Door panels are peeling off now. I'm going to purchase "SpeedForm Door Insert Covers (05-09 Mustang)" from AmericanMuscle. Before I do, I'm going to find and Auto Upholstery shop who is willing to attempt this repair.
I have a 2008 T100 with the 18 inch (Touring?) Triumph OEM windshield, Norman Hyde single seat and a unknown rear rack I hacked off the back rest to mount a SHAD SH 29 top case for the helmet, gloves, etc. Solves the storage problem and is secure. I bought the bike used in 2009 with 4300 miles and now at 27250 miles the bike stopped running for the 1st time while out on a ride. Looks to be the crank position sensor. Bike just turns off when it warms up. I'm not the first one, easy google search. At 27250, the orginal chain, last checked a year a ago, had .142 thousands of a inch to go and the sprocked teeth still look great. The clutch is near the end and since I have to now have to take the right case cover off to replace the crank position sensor, I have an EBC clutch waiting to be installed on the left side. Valve clearance check at 17200 was also good to go. Great bike and the more time I own it the more I want to keep it!
