Haven't talked to you in forever Ron... hope all is well for you!

Hey buddy, bet the little ones aren't so little anymore. LOL

Always thought when I got older I'd have more time to do stuff. HAAA!!!! been out of town every weekend, working life crazy, I'm going to Motorstate with a car that I haven't even looked at since I was racing it in Pittsburg. Haven't washed it, checked the oil, tire pressure, nothing! Mad scramble Tues to get it on the trailer, racing on Wed. That poor car is like a hammer, get it out of the toolbox, work it, throw it back in to the box until I need it again.

Was hoping to have my AMC done long before now, no time!!!!!

[LSXZ28]

No, they aren't little anymore - get bigger every day! Spend my time and money camping with them these days - we love it!

The car looks better than ever! At least it is there when you want to pull it out and abuse it! Can't ask for more than that... I'm glad to hear you are well! The AMX will get done - you can't finish them all in amazing time...

[Ron S]

Just got back from Motorstate, car was once again a hammer, get it out beat on it and put it away.

Just got this pic, really thought it was cool. Don't know how the photographer do it, but I'm glad they do.

Very cool picture! This build is one of my favorites.

[Ron S]

Just found this, I had nothing to do putting it together. Condenses the whole build into one You Tube video. Took someone a lot of time to compile...crazy.

You have a stalker.....it's prolly cleary

[Ron S]

Cool video. I love the comments complaining about the LS engine like it's their car...

[Ron S]

I actually have a ford engine in the works for this car, but all those negative comments (that's a lot), I may just freshen the LS7

[Ron S]

Martin it hard to believe that was 5 years ago, but time flies. Hope all is well.

I may have stirred that pot a bit this morning . . . hotrodding over brand-centrism for the win as far as I'm concerned.

This Mustang is so much more of a traditional hotrod than people (especially those pretend versions who comment on YouTube) realize. Without the Chevy engine in Ford body concept, we would not have hotrods. Ron's version is just more awesome than usual, no qualifiers needed. Duh.

[AU Doc]

This is epic! I wish I had your skills, sir!

Do you ever stop and think about where this car was headed (the crusher) and where it ended up instead? It's just unreal a car that far gone could be resurrected.

[Ron S]

Yeah its funny, anyone that followed the build " as cheap a G machine as I could build for 5K", they understand and more or less like it. Anyone looking at it for the first seems to HATE it due to the GM power plant.

My favorite You Tube comment " watching this is like being hit in the headed repeatedly with a piece of Ikea furniture" Cracks me up

.......My favorite You Tube comment " watching this is like being hit in the headed repeatedly with a piece of Ikea furniture" Cracks me up

Hahaha! Yeah. I saw that one, too.

To be honest, after reading through this thread I took some of those comments personally - yep, even though I don't really have any skin in it. Then I realized yelling at my computer screen wasn't helping matters.......

[AU Doc]

Your car is everywhere! Probably not funny at the time, but the description for this video is hilarious!
