oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm in the process of getting a Jeep TJ. I bought a 2001 mustang last spring and quickly realized it wasn't for me. Drove it off an on through the summer, and just didn't have much fun with it. My plans for the TJ would include a 3-4 inch lift. 33x10.5s some good solid bumpers and a winch. Drive to the woods and enjoy. Nothing real crazy, just some mild wheeling. I just haven't found the proper jeep yet. Dang rust buckets.

3.504 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Everyday of my life is a project car. Once I get out of wrenching, for good, I've always wanted to put something small block together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I just enjoy keeping my daily drivers looking like new. Both my vehicles have 150k miles or more on them and they both look almost new and maintained the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnR Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I have my 83 T-type Regal that I am finally getting off of my can to get finished. I bought the car back in 88 while stationed at Ft. Lee in Virginia. Interior & suspension are done, repaint comes this spring. 28 years, about time. Engine (3.8 carb'ed turbo) has a whopping 180 horsepower. I'm going to leave it stock for now, but I am seriously thinking of throwing in an LS motor. This pic was in Colorado Springs (worked at Phil Long Ford) probably around 1992. Edited March 2, 2016 by ShawnR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) My parents had one of those when I was a teen...don't recall the year but I know it was pretty fast. I was all charcoal grey. I recall borrowing it one evening and somehow got into a race with a Ford Taurus SHO...I don't even remember the outcome but I know we hit triple digits and I was scared shitless because I was 17 at the time and we were somewhere down in NKY. I just kept thinking that if I got caught I was going to jail. Edited March 3, 2016 by ScubaCinci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Nice car. I had an '86 Regal. Nice car for the time. Do what you like but I would leave it stock. Can't be too many of those left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thinking about hanging on to this to do a minor rock crawler project after my barn is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yup mine is going bigger then I first was looking at. Doing a 4" lift an some 33/12.50r15 duratracs. Also getting a more open exhaust for it. Tax returns are great things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Well I refinished a set of center caps now doing a set of rims. Did bike rims before but these are corrosion laden. Gonna take some elbow grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they are messed up. There are three ways to post pics. Load them up here to your gallery (hardest way). Attach them to the post....like if they are in your phone and you are posting from that. Or last to link to another site, like photobucket or smugmug or Flickr or something. It looks like you are doing the last, linking to another site. To do that you need to figure out how to get a link from that site that has .jpg or .bmp or whatever on the end. If I go to my smugmug and look at the page that has my Fonz picture and just post that directly: https://jimkennedy.smugmug.com/Wizard-World-2016/i-JmNP5WK It won't show up, but you can click on it. If I use that same link and hit the button on the bottom right that says Insert other media and post that link with 'insert url', it won't show up. But if I go to my fonz page and get the full url to the actual pic by right clicking on the pic and saying 'get 'copy image address' I get the full url with the .jpg in it. I can just post that into the post, or use the button on the bottom right and insert url. The key is to use a url that has the .jpg or .bmp or what ever on the end, that is a valid link all the way to the image. Get that and you will be golden. EDIT. TOOK OUT MY FONZ PIC SO NOT TO MESS UP YOUR THREAD. IT WAS THERE, HONEST. Edited March 28, 2016 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-no-moto Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 So i figired the weather is cooling down and the car is now on the front burner. Got my ported and re worked heads back. What about everyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I am supposed to get my newly built LS for my truck this week. Complete head work over, cam, titanium hardware, arp stud kits. Transmission being built and I got a new circle D stall converter. Should be fun in the s10. I built the rest of the driveline last winter, just got a set of Moser axles I need to drop in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Soul Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Not mine but might as well be. Oldest boy has a foxbody Mustang he's building (off and on). Motor is done and in the car. 302 with 10:1 pistons, forged rods and crank, a torque orientated cam with hydro roller lifters. Sitting in the garage is a 9" Ford rear end about to receive 3:73 gears. Not really a strip car but I'm looking forward to seeing some slips from Edgewater. Not what I would have chose to build (I'm a Pontiac freak), but what the hell...it'll do what a car should do...make the owner grin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Soul Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Oh, those white cylinder heads. His idea. I'm having fun telling his buddies they're "Refrigidare Racing Heads". They do have the big valves with some mild polishing of the exhaust ports and some careful shaping of the intakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Here is the heads for my motor. 706 heads with a severe port and polish, decked .030 to bump compression, and double springs with titanium hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
