Well after moving once, starting a couple businesses (some more successful than others) and planning on another move to a bigger house with smaller payment, bigger garage at the end of the week I''m kinda back. I will be rehosting a bunch of my write-ups from the past as well as participating...

This was a car that I pulled out of a salvage yard several years ago and totally rebuilt it from bare metal upwards. There was a lot of time & effort went into making this car a beautiful example of Ford Muscle. The restoration has been to a medium to high quality with the intent to be able to...

It's been a couple years since working on a manual transmission, but the trans in my 93 Explorer (replacement for my 02 mustang that got wrecked) acted funny Friday night. I was almost home on my 65-70 minute commute when it seemed that the clutch started slipping. It was acting fine all day...

I finally graduated from ASU with a degree in Business Administration. I specialized my studies in entreprenuership and small business. I have also been extremely busy trying to get through the program as quick as possible before the tuition costs rise by 40% again. At least now I'll have...

65-66 Side Window Removal I finally found the picture that accompanied a step-by-step side window removal. It is a little bit tricky to do the first couple times, especially if you don’t know why the window won’t come out. 1) Remove all window stops, bumpers, guides, and...

In my capstone class for Business, we were assigned to develop a full business plan for a storage facility. During the resulting slew of ideas, one of the two concepts we focused on was a self & full service storage facility for classic & high end cars. One part of the facility would cater...

I'm usually in the Classic section, but I have an oportunity to get a 89 5.0 in exchange for basic rims to fit a 96 GT (nothing fancy) I have a line on a set of rims off a 02 stang and couldn't remember if the backspacings and patterns would line up between the two platforms? Thanks for your...

I'm going to be attending a conference in Bristol, CT starting May 12th through the 16. I will be arriving on the 11th and have a little time in the evening to get together with some East Coast SNers if any of you are interested!

I found one of the series of pictures of how to exactly remove your stubborn side windows in a 65-66 mustangs. There is a trick, here's the rough procedure below: 1) Roll the window down and remove the felt strips, the front and rear rubber door plugs. 2) Remove the armrest, interior door...

Well I noticed that I didn't have many pictures of my 72 in it's final dress, especially for insurance purposes. So i drove out near where our new house is being built to take these shots (yess you do get this view out of the Master suite in the new house)...

Hey all it'll be my 23rd birthday in about 5 minutes (oct. 17th). And yes this is a shameless post of solicitation ;) But it's also an open post (relatively), so let the Gutter Games & Hijackings Begin! BTW you can send all gratuities to my paypal account at...... ;)

I found out that i could get over a 40% discount on Sherwin Williams Paint through my real estate investment groups (go figure). So I went to check it out. I've had good results with the Sunfire Single stage paint from Sherwin Williams on my 72. So wiht my discount, everything (including...

Well, we've lived in the same home for about 24 years now. So we made the leap into a newer, bigger home : it's 2,418 square feet and we're going to pay about $200k on a 55' x 125' lot that backs up to a nice green belt and great views of all the surrounding mountains. BTW it has an...

I hate to do this, but my family and i just bought a new house (se future thread in the talk section). The bad part is that the HOA doesn't allow perminant parking (like too many overnighters) on the street. Right now our family has 6 cars (3 mustangs are mine). The other thing is that the...

We'll I'm off to Oregon for a very long weekend. 2bav8 is also gone for the week. So you all behave now ya hear. (IMG I can't believe i'm leaving all you charactors here without adult supervision).

Thanks dodgestang for the idea of checking the torque on the heads of my Cleveland. For background for the rest of you, my 72 351C was starting to emit clouds of white smoke on the back from Knotts Berry Farm show. On the drive home it would only happen when the 4v opened up or at any speed...

I think I've developed a problem with my 72. The trip to knotts was it was running good. But pulling into the show it started to overheat slightly (the first time ever that it happened). ON the trip back to Fontana and the rest of the weekend it didn't have any further problem overheating...

I had asked my cousin (who's going to a graphics art school here in phoenix) if he would draw up my 72 in such a way that it wasn't a true sketch, nor a real charactorization of the car. And here's what he drew: I think he did an amazing job! He's going to do an actual sketch (kinda like...

Here are the tons of pictures I took at Knotts Berry Farm FFF show. It was a really great show, and a very nice day out. I tried to make all the pictures dial-up friendly. Enjoy! http://www.desertmustangs.com/Carshows/Knotts-04/Knotts-04-pg1.htm

I'm heading off to knotts for the Fun Fords show. Hope fully I'll get there in one piece. I have a trunk full of tools and duct tape, so I should be ok (and I remembered a spare tire this time). This will be the longest trip I've made in the 72 outside of the 1.5 hours down to Tucson for that...
