OK, that date & time is July 26, 1:34 PM. So yes, I was correct, I gave them my deposit on 7/14 $500, but they did not place until 12 days later. Wonder if there is a legitimate reason???
Yes. I have done this in the past with Dodge and Ford rigs. Costly, but it does make a difference in noise reduction.
The sizing look of the rear window is more of a visual effect. From the outside, the whole back panel looks like it's the window, but it is not. Much of that lower portion is below the seat level and even below the body level. When you look from the inside, you can see that the window frame is pretty much top to bottom of what you see inside. The net effect is that it just looks smaller from the outside. My gladiator is the same way. The other thing about this is that those roll up bed covers are likely to not affect the outward visibility much if at all.
Yes indeed.... and the MUSTANG was a prime example of a Ford “parts bin” vehicle thanks mainly to the Falcon. Things have improved tremendously since the mid 1960’s.
Shay -
Noted and thank you. I had a 1965 Mustang 2+2 Fastback that was built on July 5,1965. The day after the 4th, so it had its own Ford issues as it was probably assembled by hung over guys, last minute fill in personnel and the mix made for an interesting machine. Loved it and yes I wish I still had it!
I wouldn't bet on gas prices plummeting- the scarcer something is, the more it costs
This is of course true. However during the beginning of COVID, gas prices dropped pretty significantly. If this can be attributed to less people going out/driving (demand decrease), the same idea can be applied to the future if we start to see more and more EV cars hit the roads. Perhaps im an optimist, but i think its possible that gas prices drop over next 10-15 years.
Also, sadly, the Challenger tragedy and before that Apollo 1 and the fire. I have personally had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with five of the twelve Apollo astronauts that have walked ( and some drove), on the moon. For me personally a life changing experience and their input about quality and technology ........ eye opening. They had a goal and persevered through a ton of issues, many risks involved but that was a different era when risk was an ingredient.
Understood. however COVID restrictions were always thought to be temporary and businesses knew they had to do whatever they could to hang on and survive until restrictions lifted. With the big push for electrification- the obvious path is to do away with fossil fuel propulsion entirely and we have some governments committing to do so in 9 years (2030). The demand for gas, diesel, jet fuel, etc. will fall and keep falling with no expected recovery and oil companies will go out of business. Even though using artificial deadlines to achieve their goals before actual replacements for everything oil provides us is proven, plentiful and affordable is a fool's errand. I remember Obama saying "sure you can build new coal plants- but you're gonna go bankrupt doing it". I have no hope moving away from fossil fuels prematurely will be a winning proposition
