I sold my '73 Corvette that I had for a number of years back in September and bought a '17 Mustang GT with the 6 speed.
As I am getting into my mid 40's, I have back problems, among other aches and pains, and I was getting tired of tinkering with it...laying on the garage floor, getting filthy etc. That, and I don't have the free time anymore. I think I am done with old cars.
New Mustang is a real hoot to drive though, great power and all the creature comforts. I like it a lot. :-) [Reply]

Really putting a cramp in my style.
Your friend is really killing my style taking his time with those heads lol
Good news is I got a cam ordered along with finding a place to port the heads. The motor is completely torn apart. New crank and bearings going in, flat top pistons are going back in. Sending the TBI unit off to get cleaned up, shaved down, and larger injectors.

Oh I’m in no rush, just giving you shit. I still have lots of wiring and body work to do before the truck is even road ready. It will probably be a year before the truck is ready for the road so I have plenty of time, but I also know you want it gone so Tuesday works for me as well [Reply]
Yeah, It had me stumped, I Googled it, with no answer, I remembered what it is and followed up to get the model and the year correct, now I want to challenge the gearheads...Year is not really important but must be close.(hint, pre-bolt ons) OK bonus point if you nail the year.
No extra credit for posting pictures of the model but could be fun.

Can you get the gif to sit still on the side view of the car at the end?

What did you do with pin striping?
Pin striping is still there seeing as the truck is in the middle of a motor swap, I have a buddy who is a detailer who is going to go over and polish and coat the whole truck when im done, im going to see what he thinks he can do with it. [Reply]

My paint guys agreed that if he prepped it proper you will be lucky if you don't have to wet sand to level. Good luck. [Reply]
