Default Have some pics finally....

I have some my pics in the members ride section. I hope you get to check them out and I hope they don't look too bad. If any body gets their Mustang into an accident and thinks its beyond repair hope this provides some encouragement!

It's hard to believe I have owned this car for 12 years. In their day these Mustangs were being wrecked weekly. No one from my generartion was used to the power . It was the fastest car (bang for the buck) to come out since the heyday muscle car era. The late 80's Mustangs could run circles around virtually anything else out there, short of a Corvette or GNX . Even to this day 2002 this little pony in stock trim is pretty quick aganist any car i've come across (in stock trim)
new , old , rice or not. The good news is the Mustang keeps getting better and better and looks like it might still be around for a while.

Scott thanks for starting up a great website. You picked a great moderator in Frank (GT50) ok so i'm a little biased lol!. He had the know how and skill to get my car as you see it today. Thanks again!

Vince, just checked out the photos of your car in your photo gallery. Man oh man, did you and Frank have some work on your hands. Fantastic photos! Hard to beleive you guys completely rebuilt it from the state it was in after the accident. Hats off to both of you for a 5 star restore! Your stang is definately now in top notch condition.

I just got one question... can it still smoke Franks 88GT at the track

I'm not sure about smoking it lol but I came within 2 tenths of Franks best time. I only have the mods listed in my sig. If i had a set of slicks on the car I might equal or beat his e.t . It will be more interesting with practice to see what happens.
