Close... Read it backwards as if it were in your rear view mirror.

"Hang up and drive" backwards so when people see it in the rear view mirror they can read it.

I'm going back out to the yard this Thursday to pay the guy.

I'll probably let it set for a month or two as I set things up and buy parts. I at least have to get new tires for it!

As little time in a rental unit to get it running, the better. I just want to rent for one month.

I'll get a few more pictures this time, it looks like the rain is stopping for awhile, finally.

I was wet after that last time (metaphorically and physically).

I want to get pictures of the undercarriage.

No need.

I just called the guy, and had him snap a few for me. (Cause I got your back,...I'm just that guy)





I'd say it's workable.....

A little bit of sanding, some cardboard, some bondo....It'll be like the day it rolled off the assembly line.

Eh, if the car comes with some old license plates on it ... couple pop rivets he's good to go.

That's a nice example of what I think a T-top should look like. I know Dave doesn't appreciate the front air dam very much but I think he's just hasn't seen it in the correct light yet.


I love the front air dam. It's what the Fox Saleen air dams were built from. I like em even better with the Marchal lights installed.


Loooooong nose for motor and the rest is f--- u.

I also like how low the front air dam looks without side skirts. As good of an effect on the look as a splitter is IMO.

Just a heads up, Rob's coupe is an 81 and has a SRA. He had a 4v boosted, then a 302 Nascar inspired set up, and now back to a 4V na. Car is sick, very tasteful

Holy poop! I stand corrected. From the look of some photos from the back side it looked like the tails didn't go up over an axle so it seemed logical to assume it was IRS. My bad, still a bad ass ride. Thanks for the clearing that up bro!

It's "Rat's RED bunion hole" if we're being precise.

If @Davedacarpainter would back off, I'd build mine like you suggested @FoxMustangLvr and it would have full MM suspension, turbo coyote swap, t56, IRS, and would be BAB in color. Essentially the wish list for my current car minus the t-tops...
