Your car looks pretty rust free for your name being rust stang. Looks like your making some good progress which I had the place to do something like that.

Looks good, BUT, you should have taken the time to detail the engine bay. It takes away from the nice job you did on the motor.

That is because the picture is dark.. and the fenders are covered.

like paint the engine bay? i didnt really do that great of job on the engine. all the pullies i have on are rust. i do currently have the rad and a pullies attached but i am to lazy to walk out to the garage and take a pic. plus im still waiting on some chrome mac longtubes that are on back order. dont know if im going to have to take out the pullies to fit them or not yet.

Right before the snow feel I raced a 1980 something 5.0 (EFI) and he wasn't happy that my little 2.3 turbo killed him[8D]

I wanna see how far I can go before I have to add more boost and port the intake/head
