It's getting there lol you may see me out trying some XOS races this year

That was going to be my plans with the 85. But as I watch it, I can't compete with some of those guys and I'd just be a filler. Plus the wife and kids aren't much into sitting on hot as bleachers all day getting sun burnt! So I sold everything, bought the New Cobra and we can go cruising or to the track. Best of both worlds!

But I will be at all the XOS races taking pictures!! I love watching them!

Finally finished up the mass air conversion with just a little coaxing from Jason (86gt40)!!! Talked with him the other day on the phone and he was telling me how easy it was so I jumped in and got it done in about 20 minutes.
First start up video!!!

Sounds Good Brian !!!

[draggin50]

It fired right up first crank so I must've done something right! Made his night! Now he'll never get to sleep and probably be late for school! I keep hearing the video playing from down stairs!

Sounds good....

[rtvickers]

Congrats. Sounds good.

[draggin50]

Yeah cant beat the sound of the old pushrod motors with a cam! Now on to other stuff that needs fixed!!!

I need some parts yet!!!

[k062693w]

I've got a nice set of heads and cam if you need parts !!! LOL

[draggin50]

I'd just end up building me another one if I had your parts!

I need the brake hose brackets for the front lines that bolts to the frame rail. Also he needs some caster/camber plates.

[k062693w]

I think John has a set of CC plates he can't use ...
I'll ask him about them ...

[draggin50]

Cool let me know. His strut is hitting the brake line bracket and the tops of the wheels are leaning out. I just put the eibach pro springs in it and it sets a lot lower now.

Here ya go Brian.

Thanks Chris. Ill look into those. I still have some other stuff to get figured out yet. I may try to get it on the road soon.

[draggin50]

We've been making a little bit of progress with this one.

He has been working some and saved a few dollars back and bought all his rear brake parts. It has new shoe's, wheel cylinders, hardware, and brake hose. Now to bleed the brakes maybe this weekend.

Also bought him a set of UPR caster/camber plates for his birthday. Got them installed and back on the ground with the Eibach lowering springs I bought from Walter. It sets low but looks good! Alignment is off real bad now so I tried to adjust the tow to get it close until we get it to an alignment shop but both tie rod ends are stuck all to hell! That will be our next hurdle to jump through.

Ill get some pictures once we dig it back out of the basement! He has took over the spot where my Model A was...

[draggin50]

Well this has come along a ways since I last posted.

He went ahead and painted the top flat black just to cover the surface rust. He also tinted the tail lights.

Its in time and running so I figured Id take it for a ride today. Didn't do to bad. Feels like it has a vibration when the RPM's are above 4500 or so. Ill look into it more later. Did a few big burnouts in front of the neighbors. Alignment is close but it needs done right. Still have a lot to do! He will be 18 in May so then its on him!!

Here is a picture of how it sits today.

Looking Good Brian ...

There's just something about a 4eye !!!

[CNTLOSE]

Looking good! I hate looking at the 4 eyed Mustangs...makes me miss my first Mustang, a 1986 GT.

[draggin50]

It still needs some work but he likes it and has put some of his own time and money into it. Keeps him off drugs!!!

[motox159]

Looking good! Trying to get my old 84' from the guy I sold it to 13 years ago! He bought it and it's sat in his barn ever since....sad.

[egbertnr]

reminds me of my first car back in the day, 88 mustang. My 6 year old already claims my 86 swap project as "HIS" car. By his logic I have a truck, his mom has a car, so the third vehicle must be his.
