By By for now.

Sorry guys, I havent given up steam completley but I have found a new thing that is alot better for the time being.

Its my first car, a 1967 ford mustang coupe. I'm going to be working on it for a while, may post up pics may not.    

I'll be on the forum sometimes just not alot.      




Some of you are sad I know but I have found something more rewarding     .For the moment anyway.

A '67 Mustang...how sweet.  No wonder you have been missing in action...that is a great ride, good luck with bringing it back to condition.  Sounds like something you and your dad can do together.

Have fun,

Put a steam engine in it!
Mister Occlusion

See you around, Ranger.

I didn't think you were anywhere near old enough to drive, or is this one of those Long Term projects?

I like to not think of it as a ford, because I hate fords. When someone says "its a ford". I say "its not a ford its a mustang", a very big difference in my opinion.

Very nice!!!!!!!        

Mines not a fastback, just a coupe. But I think mine has a more piss offed appearence.
johnreid

We have our fun with the Ford Jokes, it doesnt matter the Tang is a cool car and should be a Chick Magnet which you will appreciate some day I am sure.

I hope it is one of those Father Son projects that so few get the privilege of doing anymore.

Please dont be a stranger we all like you so.
