Tuff decisions? :rotf:

Well Ill let you be the judge of my tint. I did the little side glass lastnight.

I wished I had removed the dot matrix now though. Maybe someday I will do them over, figure the more I do it the more experence I get:)

Dennis

[STANGBUM]

Dennis, are you talking about the dot matrix on the upper part of the back windshield? I did not know you could remove that!:cool:

[Redfire GT]

New subject!! Has anyone tried the Steeda underdrive pulleys? I was thinking of getting the anodized red ones. What about other pulley manufacturers??

I got a black zip zap mustang body only:teleport:

[34Ford]

LOL, thats funny cause the guy at the tunnel rd. radio shack gave me a red body.:D

Now that was a nice evening, even though I did get stuck behind a damn asphalt truck and then drove 30 miles out of my way to get rid of a road rage idiot.:mad:

Rick, Robert and I agreed we need to get togeather one day and just talk cars and maybe eat somewhere. Maybe cruise a little.:thumbsup:

Dennis

[34Ford]

Robert,

I just went and looked on mach1registries forum about the guy having problems with the Steeda pulleys and from what their saying is you will be ok on your GT.

It appears our Mach 1's already have a factory u/d pulleys and the guy put Steeda's on and he got engine lights and a drop on the dyno.

But other guys said they are happy with Steeda on their GT's:thumbsup:

Dennis

[Redfire GT]

Did you guys happen to see the photos from the Parkway Ford show! Your pictures turned out pretty good for a couple of old time stangers :p I seen where" YOUR NAMES" were for getting awarded 2nd and 3rd place trophies! CONGRATS:thumbsup:

[STANGBUM]

Robert,
Didn't you get a trophy at the parkway show?:mad:
Tony must have missed it or just forgot to put you in, do you think? Was it a 3rd place in stock 2003?
Hey Tony, you left out Robert Blackwells name in the awards section for the Parkway Ford Show.:eek: :eek:

Where was I at when this happened? Doh.:eek:

You mean you wasn't already a member? Well, welcome aboard:thumbsup:

Dennis

[Redfire GT]

Thanks Tony!!!!!!! I appreciate it!! It was a really cool show. It was also the first SCMC show I have been to. I had a pretty good time. Looking foward to more:)

[Redfire GT]

Stangbum, the cookout sounds pretty good!!!!! (and the ice cream too!!) Dennis and I talked some about that Friday night at the show. I hope I haven't let you sucker me into something else :D

[Redfire GT]

Dennis, I told you about those TUFF DECISIONS!! Friday nights are pretty cool. Get to meet a lot of people. Have you met the guy fromm Black Mountain yet? Nice guy! He buys a mustang, pays it off, retires it and buys another one!! He had an "R" at the show A couple of weeks ago. His wife had an "03 Cobra".

[34Ford]

If its the guy Rick was talking to a few weeks back that had his "R" there and his wifes Cobra, I was looking their cars over, but didn't speak to them.
Didn't know they lived in Black Mtn though.

Believe he has moe money than I:D

I thought it was going to down poor so i didn't come out

[Redfire GT]

Stangbum, haven't talked to you in a while. Just wondering what happened Saturday with the roof???????

[STANGBUM]

Pat "said" they got called out early Sat. morn and he didn't have my number:mad: :blast: :007: :smack:

[Big Daddy]

Well I haven't been around cause the Snake is down at True Blue. I'm scheduled to pick it up Thursday the 24th of July. JUST in time to go to Mustang Week at the Beach. Is anyone else from WNC going to this event??

[STANGBUM]

Wondered where you have been! I will be leaving for Myrtle beach on the 27 of July for vacation (only time wife could get off work):rolleyes:

[Redfire GT]

Hey there BIG DADDY. Good to hear from you again. When did you take the Cobra to true blue?

[Big Daddy]

I took it down the 5th of July. Since it's been down there I've called every day to make sure they are progressing to make the delivery date of the 24th. After yesterday's call I'm getting a bit worried. The short block which was supposed to be done last Monday is just now being completed! They still have the heads to get back from the machine shop then they have to drop the current engine replace it with the new engine and do the rest of the mods (KB K-member, power pipe, fix A/C, check differential leak, fix switch to diff. cooler, make sure there aren't any exhaust leaks!) I hope they work fast and do a GOOD job! :D

I don't believe" fast" and "good" should be in the same sentence when it comes to engine work.;) :D

[34Ford]

I found me a Cobra on Epay.

Its all I can afford:D :bounce:

Dennis

[STANGBUM]

Way to go Dennis...... but by the picture of it on E-Bay it looks like it has wide whitewalls on that baby.:rotf: :rotf: :retard: :confused: :surprise: :smack: :yup:

[34Ford]

Ugh! Almost as bad as someone putten stainless fender trim on a Mustang aint it.

Wheres that smilie that pukes.

[Redfire GT]

I'm kind of partial to the stainless steel fender flares and the white wall tars!! they look awesome on the red mach 1's!:rotf:

[Redfire GT]

Dennis are you coming to the show Friday night???

[34Ford]

Oh my gosh, Im starten to feel ill. Ill ask Jerry to bring his Mach 1 over tomorrow for you Robert.

Anyone ever work on their lawnmower engines?
I know I learned something this week.

My 12 hp riding mower died monday, so I tore into the motor.
Getten gas, and getten spark. Dont make sense.
But Im thinking its gotta be the coil. I go to a repair shop and ask if I buy a new coil and it dont fix the motor, am I stuck with it.
Yep, cant return it. Damn Im thinking.

Long story short, I can see the plug sparking when I have it laying on the head. You would think that it would start when you put the plug back in the motor.

Well guess what. Thats NOT true. I was given a blown motor today and I robbed the coil out of it and Im back in business.

So basically one would think the darn thing would run since I could actually see the spark, but that dont mean anything. A guy on a website asked if the spark was blue or not. And you know what, the old coil actually sparked purple.

I dont know. But I betcha I remember this from now on.
:rotf:

Back to our regular schedule program.

Dennis

[Redfire GT]

Hey 34 FORD!!!!!!!! You remember the problem I had Friday night with my Radiator. Well I went to Black Mountain Ford Saturday morning and toldthe service writer what the problem was. The radiator cap was not holding hardly any pressure at all. We replaced the cap and no problems as of now. Its not even leaking around the cap like it was before. The guys at Black Mountain Ford are great!!!!!! Has anyone else had this problem?

[34Ford]

Im still waiting by my phone for you to tell me your going up to B.M. Ford so I can pick up my paint with you;)

[34Ford]

Thought I would show all you Cobra boys your not the only Mustang around with 32 valves:bounce: :thumbsup: :D

Just no huffer:(

Dennis

[cobrabitn]

This may be in another thread but I just found a article about you Tony, in the Sept issue of MM&FF.

Thanks Dennis. I have to give a lot of the credit to Rich who makes our website sing......

I really appreciated what MMFF had to say about us. I enjoy their magazine a lot! :thumbsup:

Robert,

I went up to B.M. Ford yesterday and picked up my paint and mentioned your radiator cap problem and Keith asked if I wanted one. I said oh yea.

Now that I think about it I believe the problem with these caps is the clicking part in them just aint tightening it up enough or it wouldn't be leaking outside instead of into the overflow.
Oh well.:cool:

[34Ford]

Hey Rick,

I just heard that theres another Mach 1 up here for sale. Its a red one.:thumbsup:

Have you ever heard of Bill's Mustangs over in Oakley?


Dennis

[STANGBUM]

I have not heard of them, do they deal in all years of Mustangs? Where are they located?

[chiller5ohhh]

Well, Im trying to find out myself. I rode down the street he is on, but I didn't see a business that stood out. So Im guessing he could be very small or hidden. He did say he had billet goodies for my car.

Anyway, guess what I was welcomed to this morning on my computer at work............A Freeking VIRUS!
Damn thing kept rebooting the machine.
Well I have some ammo for it now:mad: I know what to do and how to get rid of it.
Here is what I have been seeing for the last few weeks and then this morning its the picture they show here of System Shutdown

Much better.:thumbsup: :bounce:

Now I can clean the wheels ALL the way around.

I should have called you and came by.:eek:

Dennis

[STANGBUM]

Its about time, that should look alot better. Thats not one of Fords better ideas..
Now if we can get Robert to get his done:doubt:
Dennis if you are not doing anything Saturday morning , Robert and I (is that correct grammer?) are detailing a truck at his house. Come visit us.:thumbsup:
Its work I know, but if you stay back far enough you won't break out.;) ;)

[STANGBUM]

Hey Dennis just noticed your avatar, thats not a Mustang is it?:rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
:smack:

[34Ford]

About what time you guys starting on this truck?
Ill come out if its dry weather.

[STANGBUM]

[34Ford]

Just got in from rubbing on the stang:D

Is Robert hearing this;)

Very good, I will be glad to scan those fonts right away.:thumbsup:

[34Ford]

Rick,

You going to be putting these stickers on your Cobra that you bought?
Reason I ask is, these fonts they sent you are not symetrical at all. I noticed that when I started using the calipers on them.

Unless the word COBRA is that outta whack on everyones bumpers.:eek:

If you are going to put them on, I would like to see how you like the fit of them before I make a copy of them. I'd hate to make a set that crooked:rotf:

[STANGBUM]

Dennis,
Go ahead and make them like they are and We will see on the fit. I will pay you for them no matter what:thumbsup:
The back bumper is kinda curved I think.:thumbsup:

[STANGBUM]

Or if you get a chance, come by the house and we will look at the situation.:thumbsup:

[34Ford]

If you need the ones you bought, I can bring them to you.

But I have to tell ya, having to pay $1.80 for gas SUCKS!!!:mad:

Your bumper being curved is no problem. Its just each letter is cockeyed:D

I should have come over last night, while the wife was out with her friend. You free in the evenings?
