Other than a mustang, what else do you drive??

[Balr14]

34 bought running but needed work, electrical, mechanical & cosmetic. Got an itch to
build one and bought parts, a few pictures show the build. Made parts, repaired body, made a paint boot, 4 years later rolled it out and fired it 2004.

Bed & doors 4 to make 2, firewall & cab above

lots of sandpaper & labor

55 Chevy gasser fender-well headers modified, 327 blueprinted, modern, fast burn
center bolt heads.

Finished frame, painted body, Peterbilt production color.

First firing, the owner my wife drove the 32 truck up & down the street. Took her a month to wipe the grin off he face. Was fun, plenty of work, and always thinking 3 - 4 steps ahead. I like the raw headers with the heat signature.

Thanks. I particularly love the truck, it's actually useful for hauling stuff and a lot smaller than most pickups.

I used to build street rods years ago. Last ones were a chopped 35 Oldsmobile 2 door, with Camaro sub frame and running gear and a 37 Chevy 2 door. I had to give it up when the area went from pretty rural to upscale suburb. They didn't appreciate the noise and cars sitting around my yard.

Due to issues with my back that did not agree with Mustang seats, I had to sell it and buy another BMW. From past experience, I knew they had much better seats.

Thanks! The tbss is alot if fun, I owned it since new. Went 13.79 stock with 500 miles on it. Then with a tune I did, 9.5 2800 stall triple disc verter, efans and ud pulleys it went 12.56@106. I did a cam and headers after that just haven't had it back to track yet.

The yellow pickup has a cam and a borg warner s475 turbo. It has upset so many people.
I have had a few silverados, tahoes, suburbans and I just gave my dad my 6.2 escalade.
What year is your Esky? Cam, headers and a good verter can make it real fun.
My 08 esv with baer brakes, headers, cam, and cai with my tune was stupid for its size.
If you have hptuners I could send you a tune

Those are good track times for that truck. That’s awesome. I’m sure the turbo truck is nasty!

Mine is an 02. I don’t have HPtuners but that is awesome of you to offer. Is that a tuning device or just software? I was looking at doing the 07+ or 19+ front brake upgrade and I just did the front shocks, wheels and tires and most of the fluids.

Thanks, spent alot of time on the tune and verter to get that brick to fly.
The turbo one is awesome, drives so nice til you lean into it.
Looking good!!!!! love the gmt800-900 pre dod. The 07+ isn't a bad upgrade at all, I did those on a few of my trucks. The 19+ is 6 piston which is a huge upgrade. I had the baer 6 piston 15" rotors on the 08 esky and they were awesome.
Hptuners is the software, check it out. If you ever decide to pick it up lmk and I will send you a tune. I have a killer one for an lq9.

Moved this C63 and my Ford Focus ST to make room for the Mustang GT. Currently have a Jeep Gladiator for fishing, an E46 M3 for top down cruising, and a Mach 1 for staring at lol.

My other ride that’s out of service at the moment! Looks great but needs a lot of mechanical work. Hopefully get back on the road this summer.

I didn’t want to upstage everyone, but I also have a Grabber Blue Mach-Toaster for groceries & airport shuttle duty

Classic! Chopped, are the fenders and running boards widened? Is it a 33 or 34?

E46 an smg or manual?

 

[80FoxCoupe]

2016 Mustang (real fast), 2023 MT09 (real fun) and 2020 f150 5.0, 4x4, 5k miles (getting ready to mod..)

Truck now has Ridetech suspension and forgestar x14, 22x10.

SMG, I rebuilt it (all new internal seals, motor, pressure/temp sensors, o-rings, custom hydraulic lines, etc.) and relocated to the drug bin with a custom bracket. Easily accessible where as before it was underneath the intake manifold. Rebuilding it took away all the black box magic that so many are fearful of. Also, installed the euro CSL SMG tune (both parts, the main DME and the SMG DME).

Fenders and running boards are stock width. It’s an all steel 33 Ford. I’ve had the car for 36 years, it was painted 29 years ago.
