Hello to all. I just purchased my 89 Notch from a buddy that fell on hard times. It has a 3.73 rear gear, cat delete with Flowmasters, cold intake and that's about it. I recently put new front struts and cut about 3/4 " out of the front springs to lower the front down. I am currently installing a TFI relocation. I look forward to learning more

Welcome to the forum. This is turning into a Florida mustang meeting place. A bunch of my friends have moved there...maybe I'll move there when I retire....just maybe.

You'll need a residency permit and submit to a background check

My buddy that moved there a few years ago reminds me every year, right about when the first storm hits, that you “don't have to shovel sunshine”!

Here are some of my upgrades and repairs. I also did a wire tuck on the passenger side and will complete securing the wire looms in the fender well. I'm going to name it "Blue Hooptie" The one picture is of me in 1978? That's my buddies V8 Vega wagon. It had a 350 with a Dodge Dart 8-3/4 rear end.

I had forgotten that I pulled one of those heat sinks from the JY a couple years ago. Guess I need to dig it out and add it to my list.

Very nice looking notch. I look forward to more updates of your progress.

I had to remove 5 fins from that sink and then took a wire wheel to it to remove a lot of dirt and oxidation.

I retired from the military to here however does get freaking humid. We were stationed in Alaska for 8 years so I'm good with it.
