Sold the mustang and have never missed it.

Im working on a 65 mustang. making a hot rod out of that. just to keep my hands off the A. I did a little go fast mods on my 78 k 10 and quickly realized that will get louder but wont get much faster. kept the cam and heads ditched the carb and intake back to original for better starting.



A bunch of people who at a glance appear to make bad decisions have told me the A needs a treefiddy. People who sit on a mountain of good decisions say keep it OE.
