Talking Hello all from Socal!

Hey all. Just wanted to say "HI"

I just got my first car back from my grandparents a few months ago and have really been enjoying cruising around in it from time to time. It was given to me by my grandparents back when I was 14, as a project for me to work on. It was a bit too much for a 14 year old with no income, so I had to give it back as it mostly just sat and took up space. They took it back and dumped a good $10k into making it look and run presentably.

Its a Wimbledon White 66 coupe with an I6. Nothing exciting, and still on all ORIGINAL suspension (and I do mean 1966 original. LOL)

I decided to finally stop into a Mustang dedicated message board to freshen up on my Ford vocab and know-how. I'll admit, for the past decade or so, I have been a Chevy guy, owning 5 Camaro's in the span of 10 years. The current one is a 2001 SS, making 430rwhp from a cam and bolt ons only... Please dont hate me though, I really do like all American cars!

Anyways, Im glad to be here!

Thanks!

Welcome to MF. Love the '66! Very nice. That will be fun to tinker on.

Nothing wrong with a '01 Camaro SS either! Those are fantastic.

Maybe I'll see ya around SoCal sometime.

Thanks... I love my Camaros.. And the LSx motors are just plain hard to beat... Seems almost like you just have to look at them funny to make power.

Heres a couple shots of my other toy..





The car has one of my shop grind cams in it, full bolt ons w/QTP long tubes and custom 3" oval Y-Pipe.. Full suspension and bigger brakes. Makes 430 to the wheels and hugs the corners like its on rails!

Hope to see ya around!

It does... but plans call for Global West Stage 3 suspension, AP brakes and a 331.

I own my own performance auto parts shop and I just cant resist tinkering and improving!
