    Opinions on going EFI

    I appreciate your interest! My local guy knows his stuff as does my brother but Oshkosh is 2 hours north and not easy to go up and experiment on her. I’m a “traditionalist” as is my local guy and l do like the smell of gas in the garage but trying something new is exciting as well. He told me 1k...

    Opinions on going EFI

    I have not been super happy with my performance after I swapped the FT that failed and went to the RR drivetrain. The “best” carb I have ended with last season was the Holley St Avenger 670 with E choke and I also swapped the FMX to a C4 with a 2k convertor. All summer long she has been Dr J/...

    Most wonderful time of the year - for mice

    The one’s that moused or ratted and hung around us pulling tits and doing chores had a great life when I grew up. The freeloaders that only came around after milking for the cooler cream usually disappeared somehow.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    RUN-INs WITH THE LAW

    Sounds like you had a good span of learning the “hard-way” as a teen! That’s some funny sh-t right there! I will guess that the cops favorite movie was California Kid but didn’t have a cliff to push you off of and ‘ol Pothead’s fav had to be Dirty Mary Crazy Larry!

    Rear Main Seal

    I would offer that the E/M company (not familiar with) should be held accountable for your seal issue if they have altered the geometry of your block. Beautiful car but not a fan of the “jacked up” air shock (or look) especially if you want launch from light to light from the torque you have.

    Rear Main Seal

    Not to break up the HP party but did you guys figure out the rear main seal issue?

    Most wonderful time of the year - for mice

    Yes the dog and bird food are stored in my WI garage. We’ve never had an issue until two years ago at the height of the kungflu deal on a 40 degree day I cranked her up and then after shutdown I opened the trunk to remember what parts I had stored in it and saw momma mouse heading from my spare...

    What's this Tool?

    For putting rings in a bulls nose? That looks familiar from the old farmer I worked for back in the 80’s. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    RUN-INs WITH THE LAW

    I can’t “1 up” these stories except for maybe in that in my 37 years of driving I have had zero speeding tickets (1 warning on my way to work) and 1 minor crash (my fault after bartime resulting in the guy who T-boned me at a 4way flashing intersection was a wanted coke dealer from FL who’s...

    Rear Main Seal

    I will chime in now that you found out the hard-way and eliminated the rope seal index pin which should have been a no brainer to the builder unless you wanted to stay totally original which you obviously didn’t. Unless you machined the crank journals for some reason all the other theories are...

    Cops on the Highway!

    Yes we have all probably experienced this and I am glad to hear you “simmered” down and realized he was just doing his job. They actually do these “max speed limit” patrols frequently on holiday weekends to help set safer driving behaviors. They have a hard enough time these days in being there...

    Do your kids love to ride your Mustang?

    My son studying in Germany loves coming home and getting some seat time. He swore he would never sell it if I still have it when my trip is over. 😎

    Cool story. What rear spoiler were you rocking?

    Header options

    Those bends look interesting but not my style. I’m totally happy with my Sanderson coated huggers and I am sure I’m not noticing a HP loss vs LT’s on a 400/420 build for the droptop. I do know one thing though, there isn’t a scratch from my collectors on back… 😎

    Over the Hood (Bonnet) Pictures

    Another beautiful day in LG WI and although I do like to golf, I hope I didn’t screw up anyone’s back swing from idle to 90 past the fairway! 😎
