    05 mustang

    obviously someone never saw the shootout between the gto and an 04 mach 1.... the mach made it look real bad. I've already seen articles saying they might stop gto production because they are not selling, only about 3K of them. That's what you get when you try to make a grand prix a GTO! What...

    My II is out to pasture until further notice.

    I have to say I really like my auto's. However the only stick I like is the t-5. Ever since I first drove my first one back in 83. I would also agree with a world class as a nice upgrade for a mild perfromance motor (300-400hp). Most people that I know are not wild about the gears/noise, and...

    Custom grill??

    Just my 2 cents worth. I think the 65 type grill would be better off on a 74 with the depth. That is why I painted mine black years ago. For a 75 & up i think a billet would be much nicer, and use led lights,or small front end turns from a street rod.

    trim resto

    You can tell that at least mine was coated. When I started before with some 400 grit, you can see the strata. I figured that it would be the same as older style trim, for which that process works well. My trim really shows its' age. Maybe a product like POR-15's "Glisten PC" would work for the...

    trim resto

    Anybody have some experience restoring our exterior "chrome" trim? I was doing some experimenting with the classic steel wool method, and mine seamed to be plated.

    Newer seats

    you can use t-bird seats as well. I have seen 5.0 seats used. I just got around to swapping my rails over to escort gt seats. I had to drill and tap one of the seat mount holes. The biggest issue is the seat back adjustment lever and cover. Some seats are too wide with the cover installed. The...

    Why you chose a II?

    The family needed a second car. I wanted one. Hey when your sixteen that's just one of those things! I wanted a "classic" weren't really any in the family's price range. As it was my parents had to take a loan for a few months to pay the $2200 off. Anyways there was my II at Love pontiac in...

    Ricer Kill

    I guess that is what I really hate about the "ricer" crowd. They (most) believe that a coffee can, big wing a monster tach make a race car, and them the Mario andretti, not that they even know who he is. It used to be stoplight to stoplight playfull fun, or on a deserted, untravelled road. Now...

    Ricer Kill

    :nice: That is almost as much fun as spanking them with my wagon!!!! You should see the look on their face when they lose badly to grandpa's car! Just because it's a full size LTD doesn't mean it has to be slow. :D

    4.6 in a II

    :nice: Those were some good build up photos of "Thundersnake". IOt would appear that the 4.6 oil pan design provided more clearance between the rack and pinion that us old school motor guys. I'd be interested on how those headers actually worked! The placement of the exhaust ports between that...

    II Crazy, Same place as last year -HAHA! I was relly hoping to have the II there this year. The progress on the resto/redo has gotten down to almost dead stop. I definately feel for Darryl with the POR-15! I'm doing the entire pass compartment, trunk, inner quarters, entire frame/tubs...

    ebay link

    No that was not the coupe featured in the early ninetys. It was called "Six shooter" and was a red copue featured with a blown 2.8, then it was featured again when he put a tube frame and tube job. It came to press just as my car was originaly tubbed.
