    I need Bloodhound help tracking a car

    Well when I moved out to Wyoming it was for work. But I've also found a veritable goldmine of Mustangs. I have one in my sights, an original 71 Mach 1 sitting in a field, apparently abandoned. I got pics which my limited computer skills prevent me from posting(let me know how and I'll post em...

    New guy but also old needs 71 Mach help

    Hi everybody, I'm a refugee from the 5.0 world of Stangnet. I sold my last one when the economy stuck it to my family and moved from Indiana to Wyoming where there is work for people who want it. Accordingly, there are older cars with frighteningly little rust. Coming from just south of Chicago...

    5 months

    I haven't posted in several months, so if anyone cares, here's what could happen to you if your not watching. In July after 3 months of sitting at home because new Illinois legislation says minorities get to do the work I used to in road construction(legislation the big paving companies wrote to...

    Gear Drive Vs. Knock Sensor

    I love the sound of a gear drive, had it on my old 55 Chevy. I want the sound of a gear drive on my 88, but I'm understanding the knock sensor disagrees with me. Anyone have any experience or info on this? Thanks bro's!

    New Camaro

    I got back from the first show I've been to this year. I haven't really been looking for one, but I saw a new Camaro SS there, it was this gold/orange conglomeration, with black stripes. Now, I like all musclecars. The new Mustang is wicked looking, Dodge did a great job on the Challenger RT...

    Anyone with good war stories?

    So I'm southbound on Torrence Ave, going past the Lansing McDonalds. Its dark, 9 or 10 pm, late spring 1988, my LX is dolled up nice(at work I'm called Johnny Chrome, for how my semi dump truck looks- you can imagine how I want my Mustang to look), the new Motorsport off road pipes are singing...

    TV remote is mine

    Its 8 PM, on a Thursday, which, at my house, means Suzy is mesmerized by Greys Anatomy, or whatever Models In Medicine network tripe is served up. Unfortunately, she's hung up at her moms house. Which means my dog is going deaf to Pinks All Out on the surround sound. Second episode tonight, so...

    Trying to learn this computer thing

    So I had a friend put some pics of my old hotrods in my album- I don't know how this works, if computers have a short bus, I'd be driving! If you guys can, have a look at my old stuff, let me know if I did it right? Thanks!:D

    5.0 majority

    I've only been here a couple years, but, in that time, I've seen that, at almost any time of day, or year, the 5.0 guys outnumber everyone else, 2 or 3, or more to one. Corral is about the same. Between the two, thats like 250,000 members. So why is it so hard for any of the magazines- most...

    Who is Procomp?

    K, building up the new 5.0 for the new toy at my house. Got the rest of the setup pretty much dialed in, but, in my youth, I had a 55 Chevy, built SB with gear drive. I loved the sound of that bad dog, gonna duplicate it on this new 5.0. Just a fun driver, nothing racy or or DD or anything. The...

    Winter Vengance

    Any other winter storm victims out there? When is this gonna stop- 50 mph wind driven snow this evening, and this morning it was 50 degrees! As the guy who plows I80 at the Illinois/Indiana state line, the Mustang was in my plans earlier, but now seems like next year!:notnice:

    Hatch Install

    Friend asked, easiest way to switch out his hatch? Never done this one, anyone got a clue? Leave hinges on the car, or hinges off too, switch to the other hatch, then reinstall?:shrug:

    Who Has Southside's?

    Anyone know where Southside Machine lower lift bars can be found? I'd like to put a set on my 88 LX, thought a nice used set, or, hopefully a new set would be somewhere, but, nothing!
