It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

You know what a nice twin turbo kit will do for that beautiful new car of yours, don't you Allen? Forget the wheels.....

Welp, it's a funny thing. I really did buy this car for RELIABLE transportation. In fact, I've been jokingly calling it "Hidalgo" after the long distance racing pony in the movie of the same name.. Because it is the longest running mustang I've had yet, lol. I also paid extra for a 5 year 100k bumper to bumper Ford warranty. With that being said, there will be no turbos anywhere near this thing. I will, however, when the warranty is up, be calling @84Ttop for a vortech and a mail tune maybe.

Man... In a world where I had the time and a place to work on stuff.... I'd want the whole car.

That hood.... That was the only year for that hood. I never did know the name of the Ford guy that made the decision for more aggressive styling that year, but he's my hero.

A buddy of mine drove one to highschool. He sold it for peanuts too.

There you go, a new goal to aspire to. Just think, in only 5 short years, you'll have another Mustang on jackstands...

I'm going to the salvage yard where Robby is tomorrow. I'll get some more pictures of that '82 GT and that SVO while I'm there. Anybody want pictures of anything in particular you've seen?

I'm going to go to part of the yard that has been too muddy to get to so far as well.....wonder what's back there?

Yeah hell, this weekend I'll do some stuff on the red car and post a few.

I've lately set a goal to go through every Murphy's Law on the books, been a little tough to do anything.

I feel you. I've recently decided to go back for my masters degree. I remember why I hated school in the first place.

@Noobz347 , @RaggedGT , I'll get pictures of the engine of the '82 GT that has the turbo emblems on the hood scoop. I'm already prepared to be underwhelmed.
