    Tomorrow is the day.....

    Good luck w/the recovery...what'd they do to ya'? I had my clutch knee reconstructed a year and a half back, and was back at the strip in a month... Do what the doctors and rehab folks tell you, and you'll be good to go in no time! Oh, and if you think the surgery is tough, wait until...

    general opinnion on ebay car shopping?

    I'm going the ebay route, but I don't plan on spending more that $1500-$2k, max. Basically, I'm expecting to get a pile of chit, so I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky...but probably not.

    Why fellow fastback People so frumpy?

    That seems to be a common conception of 'vette owners here in MI too. I always get geeked up when I see a nice, unique car (read: muscle car) on the road, but I never give the wave, 'cause I don't want the dude in the other car thinkin' I'm some sort of dork...maybe I should start showin' my...

    Quick Q for restos

    As always, 'too far' is a matter of personal taste. IMHO, you can't have too much power, but at the same time, it's important for me to have a great streetable car, so you won't see me cutting up the wheel wells so I can fit fat slicks under there, or a huge blower sticking out of the hood...

    So who's married?

    Who in the world is in such a rush to get you married off so young? Man, at 21, there's soo much that's going to change in the next few years, I'd say being married, for most people, is not the thing to do at that time. At the ripe old age of 30, I still can't get myself to like a gal for...

    You folks with the 620's up front, will those handle 289's-351's efficiently?

    'New car feel' - susp. question

    More food for thought...thanks all :nice: Another thought - these control arms and anti roll bars, and springs are going to be almost 40 years old...is there any hope of recovering these, or, in the interest of safety and good handling, should I just put 'em out to pasture, and use them as...

    'New car feel' - susp. question

    Cool - great suggestions. I just don't want it to be sloppy like rowin' an 8 foot boat in three foot waves, ya' know? I don't want to be drifting, and have to make contstant adjustments so I can stay between the lines. When I nudge the wheel, I'd like to feel the car moving with it, ya' know...

    Hows this price sound?

    Where the heck do you guys learn all this stuff? I've been followin' this forum for the last month or so and it just seems there's so much to absorb, I don't know how you keep it all in. Matching this type of piston, w/this type of head, w/this many valves, everything's bored, stroked, matched...

    'New car feel' - susp. question

    Good mornin', I'm wondering, w/all the discussion back and forth about negative wedge kits, tubular control arms, lowering kits, etc. etc., when I go to rebuild my suspension, all I really want to build is a car that provides a nice, tight feel on the street. I don't imagine it'll do any...

    Look at this 67 Fastback , 67 Coupe , and 70 Mach I found in the woods...

    The early bird get's the worm... Well, the early bird get's the worm, right? I guess since Monk found this thread, and requested the # first, he get's first dibs (dang it!). Monk, if for whatever reason you can't/don't purchase the vehicle, please let me know. I'd like a shot at it...

    Which part of NC are these things located? Is there a way to get in touch with the owner?

    Ouch...

    I couldn't help myself, and maybe I'm a horrible person for laughing at another's misfortune, but hell, I laugh at me when I get hurt for being stupid, so why not? Grape Ape Forty five seconds or so...it's gotta be killing the news anchor's not to be crackin' up!

    66 mustang need to know what it is worth

    What options on GT's might be useful? Did 65's come with front discs, 9"rear, power steering? Is there any value in that stuff?

    66 mustang need to know what it is worth

    16 years? Jeez, sounds as though it's been abandoned to me. Have the property owner call the car owner and tell him if he doesn't come get it in two weeks, he's going to get rid of it. Offer the property owner $500 to get rid of that 'eye sore' rotting in his pasture when the owner doesn't...

    Will Krylon hold up to the heat in the engine bay? Don't you need a high-temp paint?
