I spent about 6-7 hours a night for the past 2 weeks redoing our site and trying to boost traffic! Hopefully it will be more eye appealing to everyone and more search engine friendly!

This Saturday is the day that Tony and I both have huge car shows to attend passing out flyers to advertise the site. So we decided to do a revamp to make everything look and perform better hopetully getting more registered members.

Some Key Features
  • Entire website is powered by WordPress not static HTML pages like before
  • New navigational system to the left
  • New Desktop Wallpapers section
  • All of our articles are now powered by wordpress!
  • Leave comments on all of our articles
  • New Mustang News Section (formerly Technical Articles)
  • New Current News Section (Main page, towards the bottom)
  • Clickable larger images in the shop
Someone requested that when an image in our shop is clicked, it displays a larger one. With wordpress we were able to do just that and much more! Visit one of our products: Here and click on "View Image" to see just how it works. We're going to be uploading much larger images shortly for all of our products as well in the coming weeks.

If anyone has any suggestions, problems, or concerns please feel free to post here in this thread. We would really like some feedback on this new project. All suggestions will be welcomed!

One more thing, if your looking around on our site and you find any broken links, please let us know where they are and we will get them fixed. Our new design has been up now for about 4-5 hours and I just found and fixed about a dozen broken links a little while ago.

Can't wait to see the BIG pics!


One question.
I don't see a New Navigational system to my left. Or is it on the Home page only?
I suck at the computering

It should be displaying on all the pages. You may have to delete your cookies or shut down your pc and restart to see all the new settings.

It appears to show up in all sections EXCEPT the Forum. But the forum has never had a left side menu -- only the top forum navigation menu and the 3 links at the top under the header.

I don't see that as a problem though, Rick. I think most forum users probably don't want extra clutter and they can get back to the Main Site just by clicking "HOME" anyway.

Nice job -- I like the new format and features.

Thanks everyone and I'm glad that you all like it!!! We have many more features coming in the next month including a complete line of 1964-73 Ford Mustang Parts (That I'm currently working on) and a boat load of Jeep parts + a lot of other odds and ends that I'll be installing on the main site and our forums.
