Hello Everyone, I am new to the site, but not neccessarily new to mustangs. I might throw out a newb question now and then, but could also answer others. heh. I am on my second mustang now.

I am a long time Mustang fan. I have a friend that has mustangs and rebuilds them. He is mainly into the 69 Mach 1's. Heh, he might be in this forum somewhere... I love those classics too, however I can only afford to have a weekend warrior, not project cars. So that means I get the newer stangs and add what I can afford during the weekends.

I traded my 96 Cobra convert for an 04 Mach 1. Same exact "stock" hp. I thought it might be an easy transition, and was stoked about the Mach 1. On the Cobra I pretty much had most basic installs done. I needed money at the time, so I sold ALL my parts I ripped off the 96 cobra. None left. Now I am ready to work on the Mach 1.

I will add pictures of both mustangs when I get some time. I still have pictures of my '96 cobra. Right now of course I just have the Mach 1 and another car: 2002 Mach Focus. Heh, yeah I have 2 mach's, just one can actually burn rubber.

you know, about that short antenna, I currently live through mountains, and reception is not easy as others. I have a shorty on my focus. It is silver and pretty, but gets crappy reception in the valleys. The mustang's shorty was cheaper and I actually get reception all the way through the valley. Odd indeed. It is a cheapie rubber black one from eBay. I could investigate to find the eBay seller if you are seriously interested.

I keep forgetting to add pics when I get home. I am viewing the forum at work, haha, so shhhh....
