    Pretty bummed, but also excited!

    Can't believe after 7 years, I just posted my baby in the classifieds. :( Even though I'm forced to part with my beloved '92, I'm lucky that I'm nowhere near leaving 'stangs in general. Buying my car led me to many new friends, and eventually I was fortunate enough to start a small business...

    1992 LX 5.0 hatchback

    1992 LX 5.0 hatchback (built 306, h/c/i/s-trim/etc) To start, I'm pretty bummed about posting this ad. :( If you search my username, you'll find years of posts while I built and enjoyed this car. I tried to give this car the best I could, and my intent was to build a very quick, fun street...

    87-93 replacement door speaker panels?

    Lately, I've been tinkering in my shop with a new machine and I've been looking for a "subject" to work with. Since I still get PMs from people wanting me to build them a copy of my 92's door speaker pods, I decided to make this my subject. It's not an *exact* copy, since I was curious to see...

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    Been a while since I've done some custom work in a fox, and it's time to tackle a few ideas that have refused to exit my head. I've long wanted to build a few of these parts, so I'm excited to get started. Since I have a 92 in my garage, this is doable, and after a hectic winter my schedule...

    A burnout pic from this weekend

    This weekend was cool! My company and two others rented an 1/8 mile track for the day for our local SVTOA chapter. Perfect weather (a little hot, but it could have been much worse) and a great turnout. It was fun to have the keys to the amusement park! :nice: I've got lots of other...

    Nice day = new pics (56k, grab a snickers bar)

    Memphis has really crazy weather, especially during the winter. We had ice/snow on Thursday, and it was a sunny 60 today. Took advantage of the nice day to wash up the stang and go take a spin looking for some spots to take a few pics. Kind of bittersweet, as some of these pics will likely...

    Pics of my now 5 year old project

    December 2002 is when this 1992 LX 5.0 hatch pulled into my garage, a pretty clean one-owner car with 96,000 miles, bone stock to the air silencer. Joined Stangnet that week, I believe. Walking inside from the ride home after picking it up, I went online and ordered a Vortech S-trim kit...

    Tonight, found pics of my favorite fox body system!

    For years, I thought I had no pics of a system I built for a friend's 93 LX. I had one picture in my PC of the system after I had started to transfer and re-do the install in my own fox. Tonight, my wife was digging through old photo albums and I took a look with her. Found pictures from a...

    My new toy is a 5.0, but not a Stang!

    The LX has a new friend in the garage. 1996 Eddie Bauer Bronco, stock as the day it was delivered: I've always loved these trucks, as my first car was an 86 Bronco. Next up, a little stereo and security work and some window tint. Then I'll leave it alone for a while and keep it a...

    Custom dash for a 79 stang

    Well, finally got a chance to do a custom project on a fox body again. It's been a while, as most of my time has been inside the S197's or 03/04 Cobras lately. This is a gauge panel my friend and I made for a local friend of ours. He's building a 5.4L powered 79 Mustang. He wanted to...

    Pics of the fox's new kicks

    Out of nowhere, I decided to order some new wheels. Previously, the 93 Cobras were on my car, and I never really fell in love with them. 4th set of wheels in a little more than 4 years, and so far I'm (finally) quite happy with the result: Now I've got to get after a few...

    Password stopped working

    Having a little trouble with Stangnet access: I'm logged in on the PC I'm using to post this message, but I cannot log in from any of my other PCs. It says the password is invalid, although it's the same one since my join date. My email I registered with is no longer in use, but I can't...

    Cool addition to the shop

    I've been laying low lately, working 2 jobs and busting hard to save my pennies for this. Happily, today my new toy arrived. Picked up a CNC mill to aid my small business and do some more complex custom work. Excited is too small of a word for me right now. Here's a few pics...

    Starting another custom audio build

    Some of you may remember the thread I posted about the audio build in my 92 LX hatch a while back. Well, the time has come to do my friends 92 LX notch, and it's going to be a little different to keep things interesting. The victim: The system: Alpine CD player (not sure of model...

    What a good camera can do to an old fox

    I've been wrapped up with a ton of work lately, but wanted to share some pics I had done by a local photographer just before WFC9. My 92 had just been detailed to within an inch of its life, and then the camera and lighting was brought in. I always wanted some nice pics of my car, and I...

    Bullitt getting a custom install

    The time has come to get another Mustang in the shop and build a nice setup for WFC9. Last year, I built my fox hatch for WFC8 and loved the results. It's going to be back there this year, but this Bullitt will be sitting next to it in my company's booth in the vendor midway. I did the...

    Help please with a few new motor gremlins

    Hello all, I just spent some time searching and didn't find anything to be a good match to the issue I'm experiencing with my newly installed combo (less than 20 miles so far). Upon a completely cold start, the engine runs very poorly. It searches for idle, almost stalling but never...

    It lives! Quick vid inside

    Some of you may remember me posting about the engine buildup I took on over the winter. Between working a full time job and running my gauge pillar business, there was little time to work on my fox. But, I found the time and some very appreciated help from friends, and now it's all buttoned up...

    A few nice 05 pics from yesterday

    I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with two beautiful 2005 stangs yesterday. The red one is helped down the road with a vortech S-trim, while the mineral grey car inhales through a Saleen blower. I can take pics all day long, but nothing beats a pro with great talent and equipment...

    Pics of finished 05 gauge project

    Since I'm usually in the 5.0 forums, most of you won't know me, but I do a good amount of custom work on mustangs. A few years back, I came up with a concept for pillar gauge pods that was an alternative for the "slip-cover" pillars on the market. Inevitably, with the new stang came requests...
