Don't forget to ask Ford permission. Look up "trade dress."

Strange but understandable once I familiarized myself with it. It also affected a Mustang board at the same time it affected us. Paying a business to print images of Ford products, even though they were ours, was part of it. Maybe the threads are still on here. I can't remember the year for sure. Maybe we fought that in 2007 or 2008. I had to fill out the form with Ford and work with their legal department to get the green light after Ford told Cafepress to cease and desist the printing of our calendars.

Your first reply was a good call, made me laugh. Sad but true. Same reason fordfuelinjection was shut down.
Wonder if this is just a Ford thing or more of a lawyer thing. Makes you want to hate Ford. But there's always so much more to a story like that. Just sucks though.

2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...

I figured I would go dig up what I could find for everyone.

This thread discusses the issues starting with post number 239 and develops from there. Start at #239 and read the next few pages.

My first reply was an interpretation of that question as a rhetorical one. But I then realized it could have been equally as possible that it was seeking explanation. Hopefully the thread I referenced in the above post provides clarity enough for anyone seeking it.

Skimming through that thread, I caught post numbers 271, 273 and 280 which are funny.

We could do a beaters and highly modified calendar. Ill cover all my logos in duct tape. Certainly my car has enough dents and rust holes that ford wouldn't want to own the shape any longer...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
