    Just when I think I’m out

    Yeah, that is a trek for a motor. You never know, though. We have a friend that makes frequent trips to Dallas. Maybe a pickup could be arranged there. But- that’s down the road. We’ll see. edit: Thanks, btw!

    Just when I think I’m out

    Well, it’s been another while since I’ve posted so I thought I’d drop in and look around. Life is a whirlwind with work and family. Kids coming and going while I have no clue what’s happening around me. I feel really old. But I’ll get back to that... I have been piddling with this engine, and...

    Just when I think I’m out

    Oh, hey there .. dropped off the map a bit. Sorry about that. Things have been weird lately. It was rusted through in the door frame where the hinges bolt in. I was thinking the door sag was due to bad hinges, but the structural integrity was so compromised the door drooped! Needless to say it...

    Just when I think I’m out

    Little update. The calypso car that we brought home ended up being a lost cause. It had rust like no other fox I’ve seen in Texas. It was all hidden, and when we started taking it apart for paint it became apparent it was a waste of time. Sooo, we parted it out and reclaimed enough money the GT...

    Yessir he sure does. He says he won’t sell it because we built it together. He has an 06 F150 he drives to college because that old fox just wasn’t dependable enough. Always a tfi module or a sensor or a fuel pump going out, and I couldn’t drive 2 1/2 hours to help him out when he broke down, so...

    Just when I think I’m out

    Man, I’m whooped. I just got home from Houston. I left the house after getting home with momma from church and drove 65 miles up there and pulled this motor out of a parts car a guy had on FB. I got to hear it run, so that was good... I didn’t want to miss the sale so I had to hurry up there...

    Just when I think I’m out

    Thank you sir. I did one of these a while back with my son and we had a great time doing it. He’s away at college now, but maybe when he comes home sometime on weekends he can help out on them. I’m betting he’ll be right in the middle of it!

    Well, number 2 is home. And that’s an accurate description of it. Oh so much went wrong with this poor car. This thing needs a lot of love... All in time. Also, I found something cool from my past while rummaging around cleaning up. Automotive artifacts. I call things like this shop nuggets...

    Just when I think I’m out

    Thanks man. I’m thinking maybe just a Cobra rear bumper and deep emerald green over titanium. I had a friend with one that color and it was gorgeous. I might just go that route.

    Just when I think I’m out

    Break time. Getting there... what a mess. I’ve had too many little projects come through here in a hurry to take a breather and straighten up. I had to do this on a weekend that my boy didn’t come home from school too. What was I thinking?

    You know the old saying... everything is for sale. Fire away. edit: thanks for the offer on the T-Bird, I’m kinda booked currently, lol.

    Just when I think I’m out

    71. When I got it I wasn’t expecting to get into a fox again. Not sure I’m going to keep it... we’ll see. I can’t stand a crowded shop, and it’s close to full already. I need more shop!:chin

    Just when I think I’m out

    I also have this thing I need to tuck away for safe keeping. I have a 351w I was about to dive into for it head first until I tripped over the foxes. It’s going to be crowded around here.
