P.S. I updated my sig with my II's page, and even have a link to the vid that I put on streetfire, if you want to see(and hear) my car.
I'm gonna do a new burnout vid, but I kind of hate smoking these damn 17" tires, they're expensive.

First off "custom" is spelled Kustom:Word:

My car has some mild kustomizing. The door handles,antenna hole, trunk lock and gas filler are all shaved. It has street bike side mirrors and the old skool Ford hood scoop (functional). When I win the lotto it will have kool wheels too

Well, looks like Sal has gone even more custom now.
Check e-bay, now the Thundersnake is a rolling chassis.
Sal, no serious takers the way it was?

Mine's custom I guess, depends on what you're looking for. The main exterior customization is my huge hood scoop for the 351w.

tons of pics of the car and various things here: http://www.starshadow.com/~gael/pics/mustangii/

Why on earth would anyone want to mod a 1974 Mustang II with an 88hp engine? THE CAR IS A CLASSIC in fuel economy

i guess its because of the satisfaction we get when we work on our cars and
turn them from basic to beast without ordering all our parts from 1 catalog
but then again you probably dont understand blood sweat and tears
since you bought yours like that and was told it has 400 hp but u cant prove it.
should i keep going?
your also someone who doesnt like 67 68 mustangs??

put your head back on your shoulders....

Uniqueness, and the fact that my II weighs 2450 pounds doesnt hurt, either.

Dan, you don't get it. You're not a "real" Mustang owner unless you have the same car as everyone else, with the same mods as everyone else. You have to check out the other Stangnet forums to really get the picture. We're way off base, here.

I need to go get me a 65 with a 302. It'll be slow and unoriginal, but at least I won't get dissed.

Or if I want to be original, I can go get a newer 4.6 and use mommy's credit card to trick it out with whatever's advertised in MM & FF. The ricier, the better. I mean, what's a 'Stang without ground effects?

Looks better when they trade it in for an SRT-4.

Ricer 'Stangs are everywhere up here. It should be another thread, with pics.
