    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    Of course, I am not counting the value of the parts I took from my Mustang. Right now I have 18K in the kit and getting about 3K for the Mustang rolling chassis and some other parts. I kept my 331, trans, rearend, cobra brakes, computer, harness, Tweecer, and gauges. All of this is stuff...

    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    That is the gelcoat. The seams all need to be finished also. Go to the Factory Five Racing website for the pricing. You can get the base kit for as low as 12990. But there are a lot of options available, so that can drive up the cost. All told, I am looking to have about 25K into it...

    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    The Roadster was delivered Monday, looks great. I have a lot of stuff to go thru and inventory before I really start.

    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    Believe me, it was hard for me to do it too :( I tried to sell it but was not going to get anywhere near enough out of it. And then I would have to buy a new engine, rearend, brakes, etc. This way I kept all my good stuff, and selling the performance parts I could not use and the shell...

    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    I sold the rolling chassis today, a guy from Indiana came and picked it up. He plans on putting his twin turbo 408 in it :nice: It was kind of surreal watching it leave tonight after all the work I put into it :( I am sure he will have it back up and running soon and back to it's glory!

    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    I just put it up for sale today. Hopefully it will be gone quickly to make room. The body and interior are clean so I shouldn't have a problem selling it.

    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    This is something I have dreamed about for about 15 years, pretty much since Factory Five started. I am thinking some kind of dark blue right now, but it is way too early in the game to settle on that yet. With my schedule, this is likely going to be at least a 2 year build. I am going to...

    Saying goodbye to my Mustang

    I haven't been on in a while. I have been busy the last month or so making arrangements and preparring to build a Factory Five Roadster. I am using my 95 GTS as the donor.:D I hated to have to tear it apart but I have always wanted to build one of these cars, and I finally have the chance...

    You guys a little more brutal than I. Why not offer 1200, the worst he can say is no. Sounds like the car does run, just shuts off. As long as the engine and tranny are sound you should make out like a bandit. I don't know about Jersey but I believe in Michigan you can drive the car from...

    Talk him down to 1600 cash, get it running right and flip it, that's what I'd do.

    Another photo from the cruise This car went by and I was suprised to see that the driver and passenger were a couple 60ish ladies. The plate on the back was 1BADGMA. Grandma has a nice ride:D

    One More try before I take it to the shop

    Maybe your dizzy is on the exhaust stroke and not the compression stroke. Pull the dizzy out and crank it around 1 time and restab.

    Here are a bunch of photos from yesterday's metro cruise. Lots of nice cars out there of all kinds. And lots of Mustangs running around. I ran out of memory on my camera so I could not take near as many photos as I wanted. I ran the finals of the Dyno challenge but lost this year. They...

    I got called to go down to the Metro Cruise Dyno Challenge finals. I do my run at 12:30. Should be a lot of fun, win or lose:D

    Does $1100 for a low-mileage TKO500 sound OK? I am still sporting (and babying) the stock t-5. Comes with bellhousing too.

    Went to a West Michigan WhiteCaps games today (minor league baseball). 2 tickets second row behind 1st base only 22 dollars. I don't think you can even sniff the lower section at a major league park for 22 bucks.
