Good luck

I hate red interior with a passion but it's been growing on me haha but as far as the ashtray door too that doesn't work either, but go figure both map light and the ashtray door worked on my $400 4cyl coupe lol

For right now yes.... I know that's not smart at all but I drove from central VA to Western PA (330 miles) with them on and no problems at all. Just being real careful and when I drive back down this weekend I'm putting my Turbine wheels from my coupe so I don't have to worry about bending the Bogarts.

$4,000.... Little more than what I could afford or wanted to pay but I'm making it work... No rust or body damage and a very solid car, plus with the mods I figured it was well worth that.

Ok the run down is It's got a anderson ford motorsport power pipe, 75mm maf, 70mm tb, ud pulleys, bbk shorty headers, o/r h-pipe, 40 series flowmaster catback, frpp aluminum ds, 3.73 gears, and Bogart racing wheels with brand new front runners and nitto dr's.... All new stock suspention 162,xxx on motor and body and drives better than my girls 01 GT IMO and better than most other mustangs I've driven with many many less miles too!!!

Oh I guess it's time for the pics..... Don't be too harsh...





















Well I brought the car back to school in PA from VA (the ol' 2.3 Notch has been getting tired) and since I have access to a Dyno I figured Why not get it put on the dyno and see what she can do for some baseline number





The dyno is a dynojet, temp was 81.39 degrees w/ 54% humidity and it put down 240.05whp and 306.21wtq.... I don't think that's too shabby for what it is. I would post the vids up but I don't know how to get them from my phone to the computer....

None the less hope you have enjoyed checking out the new ride and sorry for any crappy pics (done on the cell phone)

Hey dude that's one bad a** ride.. That is most def on my to do list (buy a foxbody) once I retire..

Thanks Soldier I love Box Bodies but Damn your car is sexy as hell though!!! What kind of numbers has your car put down and have you gotten any good passes at the track?? Last I remember you ran Like a 14.03 and you didn't have a tune yet with your N/A cam set up...

Just as a little bit of an update took the car to the track tonight Pittsburgh raceway park and it was warm and muggy as crap!!! My best run of the night was like this, 2.0005 60' 8.79@79.11 1/8mile 13.74@99.40 1/4mile

It was my first time at the track with the car trying to get used to it and the DA at the time of my best run (8:46p.m.) it was 2731ft and that was full street weight as well with the sub box and all in it. I need to find out how much this thing weighs too. I will say though very soon I'll be putting out much better times!!

Very clean car man! I bet it has a set of GT40 or GT40P heads on it. Good times with it too. Time to get some of that suspension taken care of and get that time down!

Thanks man!! I don't know yet if it does but I have a explorer Intake needing paint along with a taurus e-fan waiting to go on, and with that I have a set of valve covers that are getting painted to help clean the e-bay up and I'll find out then for sure what heads are on it. Only if I had the money for some upper and lowers haha but that will come soon enough!!

Little brother moving on up! (sonofabastard) Glad you pulled that time out, after talking with ya, ya mustof gotten a little flusterated at first Sub-box, you being a big ol bastard, and other than the 'Garts FULL street-weight, bada$$ times imo.... I know you can't wait to get home and hurt a couple boys feelings, specially since they think you have 14sec slips
