    I love all of you right now, didn't know so many gear heads hung out here!

    Is the cheetah a viper predecessor? Never even heard of it.

    My current project was my dream car as youth, 93 cobra. It's dialed in but I want to put it on a rotisserie then get super nasty with it.

    After this mustang I'm gonna start building bikes. Pre 60s rods would be great but I don't have the flow or space right now

    The Cheetah was a hand built Cobra "killer" back when the AC cobra was king on the road race circuit.

    Nice Stang!

    The top one is all natural (and is called ruby, I think). So natural she was off the road a while while a good portion of the back floor was a hole. Not sure how that's comming on. IIRC she also has an SR20DET jammed in there.

    Not sure what's up with be bottom one, if the back was in the shade, or if they's fakin' it. From the hard line on the fender, I'm inclined to think they took a sander to it, and haden't gotten to the rear yet...... shame, it could have done it on it's own.

    1963 Ford Galaxie owned by an old web buddy of mine. The car is nicknamed Battlestar Galactica.

    I'm not a Ford guy but when I was a kid growing up the next door neighbor had one of these that he customized and entered in shows... One of the few Fords I like (no offence to the Ford owners on this thread)

    fuck the automobile. nothing has screwed the earth up worse then the car and the politics that goes with it.

    when i was 12 years old i thought cars were cool. probably because i may have been the last of my classmates who's parents had yet to get one. that was 54 years ago.

    I disagree.

    The politics, well, you're right on that one.

    But come on, those 510's I posted on the last page are awesome....

    Thank you, I will. And thanks for the compliment. It's for sale if anyone wants to buy it. Not actively but I'd sell it.

    Oh Well, I love them and the less mileage they get, the bigger the engine and the more noise they make the happier I am.
