Haha i know what you mean about getting people to come down off their price. I bought my truck a couple weeks ago, and cash is always king.

You need to update your sig pic now lol.

Hey man I'm a huge fan of the Foxbody Mustang. That's a very nice pickup at a really good price. Any future plans for it?

Thanx guys,

I just got off the phone with the p/o I noticed this morning that the harmonic balancer is wobbling a bit and I get a slight vibration at about 3500 sitting still with the clutch in. I wanted to find out what balance was used on the fly wheel when it was changed. He said it was a 50oz aluminum so Im guessing the stock balancer would be fine. At least I hope cause I went out and bought one a bit ago lol , started raining so will have to wait till later to pull the old one and put the new one on.

Congrats, looks great, and for that price I would have bought it also. So when's the first track outing. Love to hear some good #'s. Might cheer me up after my disappointing tnt showing last night.

Thanx ,

Ya know I would love to get up to Norwalk to see what she will do on the clock.

I have some things to get done first though, because I didn't build it I want to go through the drive line , and engine first to make sure there are no hiddin problems.

Norwalk charges 12 bucks to race or watch on tnt nights. But its almost 2 hrs one way to drive there lol .

The car revs fast as hell with the aluminum flywheel in it. Im still getting used to driving it lol I stall it once in a while taking off cause Im not use to the way it revs and how I have to give it a bit more rpm to get going compared to the 94 with stock drive line and steel flywheel.

Im gonna get a video of it with some revs as soon as I get the balancer swapped out, I started it today in the drive way and wish I would have taken it to the garage because it started raining shortly after I got the belt , pullys and fan out.

Damn balancer is wobbling some and the rubber is coming out of the center , last thing I want is for it to come apart at 6500 rpm.

Sounds like a fun car, and yeah you gotta go thru it before you can really trust it.

My track is almost 2 hrs. away for me also, but charge $45 for Fri. night tnt. Can't afford many of those lol.

As a matter of fact I did find it in ohio up in Oak Harbor. Car has absolutely no rust at all any where , even the underneath is clean with no rusted brake lines or anything. I couldn't believe it .
