    help me make a choice

    +1 Sometimes I hate being a grown up. I'm only 42, but 17 was about 3 lifetimes ago. All the time I used to waste on my cars, whenever I wanted to. Friends came by, lots of help back then. Now, the next thing I'm gonna get done on the Mustang is after the whole rest of my life is content. Right...

    Have a chance to buy a 1990 GT...need advice

    Sweet find:nice:! Buy it, keep it, build it- getting too hard to find one some punk hasn't jacked around with anymore, with lots of things done poorly you have to undo before you can do anything with it. I found my LX in a friends garage in Calumet Park, it had sat for 6 years-$300. Threw a...

    H/X pipe

    :nice:Cool, anything I can do to help:D! I do have some spare muffler bearings, but I'm fresh out of stickers(put the last on my sisters Honda, it needed more power), however, I have a couple extra Knutin valves, and some taillight fluid!:rlaugh: Yeah, your GT is feeling kinda asthmatic, nice...

    H/X pipe

    The Fox 5 liter needs the balance of a crossover, H or X, to run like it should, and the parts are readily available, so idk who woulda made a straight dual system for it:shrug:. Your shorty's aughta hook up with any of the systems made for shorty's just fine- hang on, its gonna be fun! I'll...

    Progress Thread Father Time: High-$ anti-dent defense system

    Well, as long as its not an internal problem, thats good news! Braided for everything:shrug:? Pretty soon, when folks look under the hood, their gonna think you're actually in the Air Force:rlaugh:!

    Stickers, . . .Yay or Ghey?

    +1, I even had the dealer remove their sticker 'fore I brought home both my new LX's. I don't understand, the car isn't a billboard, and why does the world need to know whats under the hood? Let 'em figure out it ain't bone stock when they're paying out on the run they just lost. Stickers are...

    T-Tops?

    The otherwise good car is there for a reason- t-top car, maybe its twisted? Or has no title, could be a thousand reasons somebody is virtually giving you parts that, from my experience, you will eventually need. Take the t's, hope you never use 'em.

    Anyone restored a set of ten hole wheels?

    I think Keystone is where a lot of places send their rims too, prolly even the one I posted. They made some cool wheels in their day, those Keystone Klassics were:nice:The $180, I'm just guessing here, is cuz they're shipped and everything, idk too much about how this whole process works. Does...

    new to the mustang world

    There will be lots of advice- if you already worked on cars, you should be able to discern between the good/bad. 10 second 85? Doable, depending on your wallet. Heads, cam, intake, nice o/r exhaust, C4 for consistency, 3.73/4.10 gears, and some good spray, you're in:nice:!

    Stock 86 GT progress

    :nice:makes sense- I was just wondering, even given my perameters, when I did my fuel pump, in went a 255, for those same reasons! You never know what else you may do:D!

    Stock 86 GT progress

    Boy, I hope you're not dumb, cuz the stock parts route is what I'm doing! I just couldn't justify a grand for heads that are going to sit in the garage most of the time, when a properly ported set of stockers(mine are Thumpers) and a ported lower intake can make my nearly stock LX rock mid to...

    Anthracite or Gun Metal??

    I would call 5.0 Resto, and ask. Discount Tire has a lot of examples on their website, lotsa replica's. Imo, the darker green would look nice with the silver ones, make the green jump out, or something polished, but i ain't a fan of chrome, unless its a 70 Mach:nice:.

    More 17" replica Fox wheels!

    +1! I wanna see them on a car, and then have the car turn corners and hit curbs, like all the roads have. Turn, bump, scrape, gouge, then &#?ing rims tore apart my tires AND fenders! 18":nonono:, 17 maybe. Good idea, I love 10 holers, but I hope the artist drawing is whats throwing them off...
