    What would you do with my 77 V6 coupe if it was yours?

    I'm amazed by what you guys have done with your IIs. So I'm curious... if you had my car, what would you do with it? (besides sell it immediately for something else ;) ) What I like about my car is the red/white color scheme with the white interior. But overall I'd like to jazz things up...

    Do you have to warm up your II?

    I was wondering if you all warm up your cars before driving them and for how long? Can you guys just take off from a cold start without stalling or anything? My car turns over easily, but I find it runs better if I let it idle for about 5 minutes. I don't expect a car this age with a stock...

    Wheels: Before and After!

    the way he explained it he's doing it by hand so he wants to be able to turn the wheel while laying down the stripes. I will definitely look into the pinstripe tape. Thanks!

    Wheels: Before and After!

    This is definitely an option (and cheaper I bet ~ the pinstriper is expensive) but I was thinking it would be hard to lay the pinstripe tape down in a circle without it bunching up. Did you have any problems? Also, did you use anything over the striping to keep it from peeling off...

    Wheels: Before and After!

    My wheels are back from powder coating! I found someone to re-do the pinstripes for me but he needs the wheels on the car first. So that's the next step. I'm going broke restoring these wheels. Please tell me it's worth it. LOL BEFORE AFTER

    Mustang photos

    Okay, I think I read in the II forum rules that each member is allowed to overreact ONCE (and stomp out the door) but if they want to come back, they can. Is that correct? :D I just want to make sure it's clear nobody here on the II forum made fun of my picture. That happened in one...

    Mustang photos

    wow. I guess you told me. I've never been told I suck before. one thing I've noticed about Stangnet is it doesn't matter WHAT you post ... someone will eventually make you feel awful about it. I posted my picture in the "post pictures of you this summer" thread and someone made fun...

    Should I encourage II ownership?

    If more people owned IIs maybe the companies making reproduction parts for other year Mustangs would start making parts for us. (trying to be optimistic :D ) It definitely takes work tracking down II parts but so far I've found mostly everything I need on Ebay or through other II owners...

    Your First II

    Hi Feldspar! I got my first II when I was 17 (I'm 30-something now). Here's a pic of it. It was a 302. Except for the motor and the sport mirrors it looked just like the one I have now down to those dratted hubcaps. Spooky, huh? p.s. you can see I lived in a Mustang neighborhood ...

    stupid rice burners

    LOL this sounds like me. I have a 99 Tahoe ... it's pretty fast actually. I smoked a Corvette the other day... okay, well maybe he didn't realize we were racing... :D

    I was wondering about the cost ~ it's a relief to know I didn't get charged too much.

    wheels!

    wheels are being powdercoated! I called a few places today and got some estimates on the wheels (stripping and powdercoating). One shop wanted $500 to do the set. I took them to another place and they wanted $360. I said I'd think about it and the owner knocked $20 off each wheel before I...

    wheels!

    anything's better than the hubcaps. LOL seriously though, I've wanted a set of these ever since I saw them on a Cobra II. I can't wait to get them on my car.
