Looks like you have a "fleet" like me, where one doesn't get nearly enough time to enjoy them, vs fixing (upgrading, etc..).

Thanks, got it for track use. Figured with 10 or so "projects", wanted something that I could track without having to fix it.
Have done mild IRS upgrades and 4 point/harnesses, but that's about it.
So far it's lived up to the hype.

I did design and build my own kickers on the "4 point", as I did not want to drill holes
in $100K Shelby. I used Fatman's S550 main hoop (as that bolts in), and made my own "kickers"
that bolt into all 6 points, where rear seatbelts mount. Figured those were strongest
areas.

I wish I had kept the 81 Grenada my parents had and done V8, suspension, and brakes. lol

It was this car with but with the white paint and blue ragtop and interior:



What a great cruiser it would have made. Fox, of course.

I was just a dumb kid and had no idea (then) what I was driving around in.

Funny. My mom has a 78 Granada that my brother and I eventually put a 302 in.
He went to the Univ of DE, and I guess they have some parking lots with different elevations.
Ended up another student drove right through a guardrail and their car ended up on top of his.
And that was the end of our Granada "adventure".........
