Hard to compare American muscle with a car that looks like a purse or a coat. ;)

nope, not at work, anyway. ever since the old painter retired and i took over for him a few years back, it's almost useless for me to even have a toolbox there. kinda sucks. i miss tearing stuff apart, fixing it, and putting it back together. :(

Jay, I have to say your mustang is absolutely first class. I can see why it hurts so much that you sold the GT350 clone. Also top-notch.

I will have to dig up the photos of the car that has been in my garage(and in storage in various places over the years) as a "project" since 1995..........My 1964 mercury Comet Cyclone 2dr. hardtop.
289 motor, 4 speed toploader trans, factory tach, buckets, no rust, but needs to be media blasted to get the three coats of paint off it.......

Oh yea, I've been saying that for about a decade now, lol

When in doubt, throttle out ...... scollins

You did a nice job on the paint.

Ford did an excellent job bringing the classic lines back into the Stang. Not a Ford fan, but this is a nice looking car.

I could not agree more, except for the Ford fan part :D
