    Ouch

    Something tells me that trailer hitch got him better than he got your son. Damn Mitsubishi Kamikaze drivers.:flag:

    Got her under some paint. Can't wait to start putting things back together.

    blue collar opinion on mm & fast fords etc

    Some of the tech stuff is interesting, like the recent comparison of the 32v motors. But I was never interested in the high budget builds or all out drag cars. I let my Modified Mustangs and Fast Fords Magazine expire for the same reason; I like modified classics, but most of the cars were too...

    Question about American Muscle.

    I used to post in the V6 and '94-'95 forums, and both those have slowed down as the newer cars have come out, like you said. But I've been posting in the classic forum since 2000, and that's the one forum that shouldn't be affected by newer models coming out or the age of the vehicles included...

    It's actually more like 56 or 57 years. This picture shows a '55 Ford with the old markings and a '57 Ford with the current markings.

    Well, my car left the factory painted to be a marked unit for the Florida Highway Patrol. In Florida it is illegal to have a car painted similarly to the FHP paint scheme. The FHP even defaces the tan part of the cars before they go to auction(see crown vics below), but the buyer still has to...

    Question about American Muscle.

    I ordered from them A LONG time ago, like 2002 or 2003. I want to say they were first starting and it really just seemed like a small business. They didn't mess anything up, and had the best price (which is why I was willing to try them at the time). Then they blew up and I was hearing about...

    Question about American Muscle.

    Has anyone been able to get a coupon code from the AM guys lately? I PM'ed a couple of them last week, and still no response. I know Stangnet isn't nearly as active as it was 10 years ago. But I didn't think it was dead and forgotten.

    I wish I could go with the factory black and tan, but it's illegal here. The plan was to just go with black. But then my friend showed me a bunch of left over paint they have in the shop and got me thinking about a dark blue they had. I also showed my friend Reef Blue, and he liked it too. But...

    Looks good. Just got my '87 SSP to the shop where we'll be finishing the prep and spraying it in the next couple weeks. You can still see some of the FHP tan around the windows; that will gone soon.

    Where do Fox Body Stangs Rank.....?

    I don't think you are as unbiased as you think. Just the fact that you seem to be taking my statement personally raises a small alarm. I was simply commenting on my observation that a thread in the "Classic Talk" forum seemed to draw in the Fox body owners into the forum just to praise their...

    Where do Fox Body Stangs Rank.....?

    Damn, I should've known better. Those are the same things that got me kicked out of the Civic Forums. :jester:

    Where do Fox Body Stangs Rank.....?

    Funny how the people defending Fox Mustangs, all own Fox Mustangs. Imagine that... I recently acquired a '87 Florida Highway Patrol SSP and although I will concede that the car has had a VERY rough past through no fault of it's own, I still have to say I am the least impressed with this...

    93 cobra I payed 2100 for

    I kind of like the SAAC-looking paint scheme. I probably wouldn't have done it to a Cobra though. http://www.mustang50magazine.com/featuredvehicles/m5lp_1103_ford_saac_1992_mustang/viewall.html But yeah, how'd you get such a good deal?

    Someone needs to merge these threads... If it's a roller block, it'll be on the block between 7 & 8: http://www.mustangandfords.com/howto/5152_small_block_upgrade/photo_29.html It's possible you got a truck motor, as mentioned and someone put a car pan on it to make it fit, without...

    Looking At A 66 Mustang, Want Some Advice

    That's because it's a 200ci. Those things are bullet proof. What are your plans for the car? If you're planning a somewhat completely stock restoration/refurbishment, I'd look for a more complete car. Even if he has all the interior and trim parts, chances are they won't be in any condition...

    Looking At A 66 Mustang, Want Some Advice

    $2,000 not a penny more!!!! :jester: Seriously though, that's my ballpark going off the limited information and no pictures(this is assuming it's mostly assembled and is able to be driven say around the block). There are just too many factors. Also, it'll be hard to determine the...

    My First Car Search

    Some states will let you do a VIN search. Florida's won't give you a location, but will give you a status(ie: if registration is current, certificate of destruction issued, etc...). https://services.flhsmv.gov/MVCheckWeb/ Besides that, you might have to call each state's DMV to see if they can...

    Can't Figure Out One Bolt On Edelbrock Elbow And Explorer Intake

    That elbow was probably made for an Edelbrock Intake to be installed on a '94/'95; that intake probably has a flange with the clearance to get a bolt in there. Yup, Just drill it out the elbow and use a stud. EDIT: It appears this is the case with the Edelbrock intakes. It also appears...
