I hate that when you want to race and there's just nobody around

As stated in the comments, I need a different speedo gear, speedo reads about 10% off and the needle bounces like a bitch at speeds below 30mph.

Thank you very much. It was a long, hard road but it feels good to have it running

Lol, yeah Sickness I can fit alright, I'm just so used to being in a fox that I don't notice how cramped it may be.

Hammer, Mac and I already have a little side bet going for our cars vs each other. I gotta get to the track, fingers crossed for a cool Wednesday night soon. I'll be happy with a 12 something my very first time launching this car at the track with the stock suspension. I want to eventually add some rear adjustable shocks, maybe higher gears (4.10s) and hit 11s with the same motor set up.

Snake you'll like this...

All righty kids... The Mrs. is in the process of redoing all our family photo-albums and I came back across this.

I am often and, wrongly, accused of hating Mustangs... and toward dispelling that rumor, below you will find the first car, that I bought with my own earnings:

Behold: "MANIFEST DESTINY" 1967 Ford-Shelby GT500.


I count among the many blessings which provide for my means to be here today to show you these photos, that I never got it running. You'll see the bay in the background, beside which it had set for many years. Unbeknownst to me when I bought it, the body was being held together by that faded blue paint.

The old man that ran that bait shop, was good enough to give me back my $1000 and sold it to some guy in Texas, who flew a plane down to pick up within days of my giving it back. I hope he enjoyed the carbs I had just rebuilt.

The old man sold it to me for $2000 (I gave him half down)... he sold it to the other guy for ten times that... ( That's 20,000 Lawhead).

Yeah but for as often as I'm on the interstate, the 3.55s are nice with the T5. I don't have one of them fancy 6 speed trannies

Cam is 223/227 .588/.582 111LSA

OVA, that's rough that the car didn't come together and was in bad shape. Those cars are timeless.
