What ever are you talking about RD? There is an entire group right here...So I'm sitting here thinking about the 50 things that I need to do to start up the mustang and reminisced on the times when I had a group of guys who would kick each other in the backside to get their project done. I miss the old days and figured I would see if there are any garage guys in the area.
Yeah,...all of my car guy friends are X275 racers,....I stay away from them to reduce the temptation to turn the monster's fate into a future appointment w/ the center divider past the 60' mark at some drag strip.There is that "extra" element to having a couple good folks come by, even if they are sucking your beers down, and coaching you forward. Honestly, I've lived a lot of places and always had a few gearheads to get together with. Heck, I miss car guys bench racing and talking about cars, hopefully there are a few in the area.
Be neat to see what times the ole' Banger could lay down at the track though..at least once lolYeah,...all of my car guy friends are X275 racers,....I stay away from them to reduce the temptation to turn the monster's fate into a future appointment w/ the center divider past the 60' mark at some drag strip.
Are you drinking RD? Because that ramble has got to be the by product of consuming something with the word "proof" on the side.Center divider? Heck with that thing. Oh yeah, it's offered to touch me a time or two, but I've never had the car running long enough to remember her. Kinda like a prom date I guess. No, I understand. A little lower on the ranking, but the last few guys to be regular participants in "Harper's Garage" bought new Camaros and Cobra. Nice to tool around n, but a bit beyond my "hobbyist" budget when we started adding the sticker price and bolt on parts. Now I know you've bought quality kit for the Gila (and put hours of work in her) but does it compare to your X275 car or a brand new car with expensive headers and stuff? The budget guy in me (and I say that as an older guy who pays for parts I don't have to replace) would like to believe that the final cost will result in a car that exceeds the coolness of a new car and laughs at the sticker price.
Most definitely.@stykthyn : Hit me on the on the PM, you never know. It might be worth working through a project or two.
If it helps-I've been going to pull the transmission outta mine for around a year nowGuilty...lol. Point was, that I can't hang around those folks anymore and that I'm proud that our (stangnet folks) projects have a little more character and a lot less budget....lol
I'll agree to the character, but when it comes to being budget friendly,....I cant even hang around myself. I'm probably in the top 10% of stupid money spent on a car. If not for the fact that I do what I do, this car would be obscenely expensive to replicate. I shudder to think what somebody with the same ideas/and design objectives would have had to pay to build this car.Guilty...lol.

i will give you 100:1 odds against that ever happening. in other words, there'll be no Son of Gila@madmike1157 Lol...I wouldn't want add up what little I've had in my car, yours is a completely different beast. Best to not start totaling any receipts until you decide to build the next car. That's right, I'm betting there will be a "next car". Anyone want to put some odds on it?
