    Dano.... Dano who?

    Rather than hi-jack cobraii351's thread figured I'd better start my own. :) Yeah sorry I haven't been around much. Seems as if the older you get the less time you have even when you think you do! Still wrenching, just not as much as I should on my own stuff...lol. My boy's PeeWee ball season...

    Project V8 IIs on Salem/Portland, OR CL Found this '75 V8 fastback II on the local Craigslist. Obvoiusly it's not a Cobra, but it looks to be at least a factory V8 car. Excellent canidate for a donor V8 swap or restore the car as its claimed to be in pretty good shape. Cheap too, asking $500...

    Mustangs Unlimited NW Roundup 2008

    Not a 1/2 bad showing at the meet this year. Lance wanted to meet up at the meet and I thought that would be cool, since we've never met face to face. I missed a little meet and greet a few years back of the WA/OR bunch. I got there a bit late and saw that a few cars had already left and...

    Old vid of my II

    Finally got this vid up to share with you all. Thanks goes to Mad Mark for helping me out with it. It was shot in '99 on a VHS-C camcorder and when i converted it to a format that the computer could use, the picture quality took a major dive. The sound, however, is pretty good. The camera work...

    Padded Cargo panels

    How rare are the fastback cargo panels that accept a pad or door panel-like insert? I've got a pair of them kicking around and have yet to see another pair in the many of cars I've parted out.

    "With a new year in motion, it always calls upon reflection of what has been. " Actually, that's a load of crap... I was updating my profile and noticed that i've been on here dang close to 10 years.... You know, just enough to make a younger guy feel just that much older... :rolleyes...

    66 Mustang Susp. Swap Questions

    Need '78 V6 Alternator Harness

    I'm in dire need of an alternator harness for a '78 V6 car. I have a '77 one but it's not correct and would rather not butcher it up. I'd like one in good shape (obviously not perfect) something you'd use on your own rig... er.. well.. that may not be the same for everyone...:D But you know...

    Wanted: Black Carpet

    I'm in need of a good used or inexpensive new black carpet for my '78 coupe I'm piecing back together. More or less looking for a molded one as I'm no good with the crap in a roll that you get at more parts stores. A good used one would do fine as it has none at all right now. Looking to sell...

    Any of you fellow NW II guys gonna be out at the Beach Barrons' run this year? I'll be there, but probably II-less as $$$ aren't there to get it squared for the trip.

    2.8L V6 Header News

    FYI for the V6 Guys. Patriot is dropping the V6 header for the Mustang II from their production. I managed to get a couple sets from a wholesaler that sells on E-bay for $143 a set each, shipped. Definately a far cry cheaper than the Hookers. And this isn't just a pair of headers, either. It...
