That would look good. I always liked that deep emerald green
Thanks man. I’m thinking maybe just a Cobra rear bumper and deep emerald green over titanium. I had a friend with one that color and it was gorgeous. I might just go that route.
Could be...
Car Munchausen’s?
Car munchausen syndrome is where you keep fixing it till it is broke.
More likely he has car savior syndrome, he feels the need to drag home and repair cars that he don't need.
I have a similar emblem collection. Just from newer cars.Well, number 2 is home. And that’s an accurate description of it. Oh so much went wrong with this poor car. This thing needs a lot of love... All in time.
Also, I found something cool from my past while rummaging around cleaning up. Automotive artifacts. I call things like this shop nuggets. I don’t know about the rest of the country, but it seems down here Oreillys bought out HiLo auto parts about 1992?
I remember putting these emblems off some of my old cars in this bag and tossing them in a box somewhere around 1989:
Pretty cool. Wish I still had the cars they came off of!

I can see why! Cool Mach 1. Glad you got both of em back home now. I still have the old badges from the 69 GTO I had. They are tool box emblems now.
Heck yeah man! The originals were not in good shape so I bought new ones from Year One...but kept the originals and they now adorn my tool chestsTHAT is a good idea!
My wife made a nice piece of wall art with my old emblems. I need to make a larger one, though as I’ve since found a couple emblems that were originally on my ‘66.THAT is a good idea!
Man I wish I would've kept my first love. She was a 1987 Mustang Gt 5 speed. I sold her back in 2002. Well Boosted92LX have fun building these babies we will be watching.
Nice to see your boy is doing great. Does he still have the car y’all painted?Thank you sir. I did one of these a while back with my son and we had a great time doing it. He’s away at college now, but maybe when he comes home sometime on weekends he can help out on them. I’m betting he’ll be right in the middle of it!
Yessir he sure does. He says he won’t sell it because we built it together. He has an 06 F150 he drives to college because that old fox just wasn’t dependable enough. Always a tfi module or a sensor or a fuel pump going out, and I couldn’t drive 2 1/2 hours to help him out when he broke down, so we got him the truck to drive. He paid it off a month or so back. He says after college he wants to go back and fix the bodywork he didn’t do on the car(LOL) and we’ll put more paint on it. He really does love it though- he stole a bunch of engine parts off of my calypso when I was revising it and now he really destroys the tires when he drives it...Nice to see your boy is doing great. Does he still have the car y’all painted?
Oh, hey there .. dropped off the map a bit. Sorry about that. Things have been weird lately.Too bad about the calypso car. Where was it rusted?
No worries.Oh, hey there .. dropped off the map a bit. Sorry about that. Things have been weird lately.
It was rusted through in the door frame where the hinges bolt in. I was thinking the door sag was due to bad hinges, but the structural integrity was so compromised the door drooped! Needless to say it wasn’t a viable prospect after that discovery.
