Reply to "What's OK to Modify on Mangusta"

Pink car...that's a hoot!!!

I think if more people modified their Mangustas to make them actually RUN(!) it would be great!!!!

Seems like there are more stock "non-running" cars out there than running sometimes.....

Certainly there are plenty of "kit" cars around....LOTS of assembly required! New one popped up on ebay this week! #614 If serial number is correct, this one had the extra bolts added to the ladder bar!!! Clearly visible in the pictures, and this IS a modification that I would support!!!

Rotary compressors are good. Shocks and springs are good. Holleys are not a problem, but Autolites run good too and are simple carbs!

Electronic ignition is good. Better fans with relays is good. Relays on headlamps can't hurt.

Brass window motor gears are good! (Actually required by now!)

Stainless steel coolant pipes is good. Headers if you can find them are OK, but most stock heads need exhaust porting to work better...which is good.....

New leather always looks and smells good!!
Seatbelts can't hurt too badly.....

Radio- good, just don't hack up the panels too much for speakers.....

That's my short list!
