    So I Have A Weird Thought...any Tampa Area Folks

    @stykthyn look forward to it. @RaggedGT Trust me, it's been awhile (and a half), I empathize with you. The car has been down for about four years. Honestly, with the exception of the alignment after the new A- arms, I'm a solid weekend from getting her running. I'm just not in a hurry at this...

    So I Have A Weird Thought...any Tampa Area Folks

    Guilty...lol. Point was, that I can't hang around those folks anymore and that I'm proud that our (stangnet folks) projects have a little more character and a lot less budget....lol

    So I Have A Weird Thought...any Tampa Area Folks

    Center divider? Heck with that thing. Oh yeah, it's offered to touch me a time or two, but I've never had the car running long enough to remember her. Kinda like a prom date I guess. No, I understand. A little lower on the ranking, but the last few guys to be regular participants in "Harper's...

    So I Have A Weird Thought...any Tampa Area Folks

    There is that "extra" element to having a couple good folks come by, even if they are sucking your beers down, and coaching you forward. Honestly, I've lived a lot of places and always had a few gearheads to get together with. Heck, I miss car guys bench racing and talking about cars, hopefully...

    So I Have A Weird Thought...any Tampa Area Folks

    So I'm sitting here thinking about the 50 things that I need to do to start up the mustang and reminisced on the times when I had a group of guys who would kick each other in the backside to get their project done. I miss the old days and figured I would see if there are any garage guys in the area.

    Build Thread 1978 Mercury Cyclone. The pig is in the pen.

    Mike, I've got a family with narrow feet and a history of knee surgery. My recommendation is that, regardless of your personal feelings, get it moving as soon as possible. Push harder than the physical therapy guy recommends (always a tough goal to push beyond your torturer's expectations). I'm...

    Florida And Hurricanes

    @Davedacarpainter Thanks Brother, looks like your prayers may have worked out. We're on the Western side, but have family staying from the East Coast. They checked on the house and it's looking good.

    I seem to end up bleeding on any big project. The good news is that they tend to work well if I hurt myself. Just thinking out loud, but I think your ahead of me on this one. If I don't end up hurting myself, before I finish the white car, I'm going to have to sacrifice a bucket of extra crispy...

    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    Story? So a man says he lives in Southern California and everyone pictures beautiful San Diego and the Coast. So picture it in your head a map of California, then take yourself east to Palm springs and then go further east until you start seeing "Mojave Desert". Now just picture arriving in...

    @madmike1157 , Have you not read the "Florida Man" stories? Or met the folks around here? And the weather? Actually....screw the weather? With all of that, do you really need to ask why I drug the family and all my crap across the united states for fun filled days of rain and lightening...

    So I'm now a resident of rainy Florida. The Mustang got here and the overpaid shippers left it out in the rain. Yours truly, had some local folks help push it into the garage, Just a not, don't let guys with greasy hands push a white car anywhere. So after weeks, my garage has enough room to...

    Right on! It's going into the home stretch Mike. Dave's going to crush the paint and I'm happy for you man, besides I'm....ugh.....still waiting for your car done to be done before finishing mine. Well, maybe I'm waiting on the return of the Twinkie (It's so much easier to lie in type).

    Speaking of the boy, don't know if any of you follow MMA, but I took him to a local fight. He met Randy Couture last year, this year he met Forrest Griffin. It was a passion of mine until having my knee rebuilt ( and one of the reasons), so it was damn good to see one of the guys who's match...

    Well, shallow on the updates. The moving process has been a bear. The packers and shippers where two distinctly different companies. Our house (including my tools) where packed over a week ago. Somehow, the packers canceled and no one was notified, so about two days ago, the shipping company...

    That's not too bad, but I find the Docs tend to be super positive with the folks that have to go to PT vice complaining to them. Not trying to be negative by any means, but just passing that only a moron (me) would truly think that the mark on the calender would allow the thing to work 100%...
