ToledoPhil Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) ^ Just kidding. I'm Phil from Toledo. I work as a graphic designer. I'm an oldguy 43. I am also a mod on Toledo Tuners and (until recently) admin on TorinoCobra.com. (site changed hands so I stepped aside for the new guy). My point: No drama or trolling from me. I decided to join up because a couple of my friends moved down there and my brother lives there as well. I plan on visiting a lot more and I want to check out the scene and hopefully network myself a new job and source of car parts. On to the car shit: I'm a Ford guy but this is my current DD, I sold my 2.3/5speed turbo mustang for this shitpile. It started knocking last week so I'm pretty pissed. Plans: new 4.0 swap, SYE, recovery points, take it wheeling and dent the fucker all up. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l148/supercobrajet/blujeep/100_6041.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l148/supercobrajet/blujeep/100_6045.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l148/supercobrajet/traverse%20aug-2010/IMG_0379.jpg Wife's DD http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l148/supercobrajet/Cherokee/100_5565.jpg This is the fun-car I am building for my wife. A 1968 Ford Fairlane 500. 302/C4 auto/8" rear. Its our cruiser. My wife is recovering from breast cancer bullshit so it seemed fitting to build her a car. I picked this up for $2000 of a local towtruck driver/repo guy I know.

Popular Post ToledoPhil Posted August 30, 2010 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 (sorry this is so long) This car was a good friend of mine's. He had it 20 years befor selling it to me. When I wrecked my 70 Torino he sold me the freshly painted roller to put my driveline in. It was a green 302 car but he painted it a factory available Grabber Blue. I added the 466/C6 31 spline trac lock N case rear with a 3:50 gear. I also added buckets, console, GT hood, 429 callouts and the Magnum 500s. The car ran a best 13.776 with the previous 3:00 gear set.
