The Coma Patient Is Awake!
Well, After 4 years of sitting waiting and finishing remodeling the car has been sitting in the corner of Dad's shop wanting some attention...
A little history: I bought the car with my parents when I was 14, 1000 bucks for a running driving piece of junk. i spent some time teaching myself how to build a motor and completely botch some bodywork, but hey for a 15 year old kid without anyone lookin over my shoulder it wasnt that bad...Build a mild 355 w/3000 stall and a 3.73 posi, the car ran pretty stong and then I got devoured by a nearly stock 90 5.0 mustang. Of coarse being a punk kid my pride was stricken and I started building a drag car. Now that I'm putting on a few years I've decided that I want something that will handle on an autocross coarse instead of a strait line (doesnt do much for me anymore) lol. So Last Saterday I pulled the body off and brought the chasis home to start a build.
Thanks guys!

feels great to start working on it again, doesn't it? Looking good so far I'd say

haha! Well Thanks, Ya If you look closely under all of the dust you can see the 06...10...15 that is underneath. That has been the bit of an ongoing joke for the past few years! It does feel good to work on it again and I'll stay off the forum at home and work on the car, I promise...(Thats what work is for) I'm pretty excited about it especially because there is a large swap meet here this weekend and I am hoping to pick up a few budget parts, Actually I'm planning on picking up a bolt in 9" if I can find a descent deal on one anyway!
Thanks guys!
