Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 I love the stock look . That is going to be a sweet car Rick . That boy keeps smiling like that he is going to hurt his cheeks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobotMan 264 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 Actually he has smiled so much lately I think his face is stuck in that shape!!! He is smitten with anticipation of seeing the car run for the first time. I told him patience is a hard thing and that we were actually moving quite fast compared to some other builds.

mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 Outstanding job, nothing better than a red Mach. One small thing is that you have to mush radius on the hood for your flat black, it should be a lot tighter than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobotMan 264 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 The car is far from perfect as it will be a daily driver for my son. But thanks for the detailed input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean moving faster than ALL other builds. The rest of everyone is into year two at the very least! Good work and I think most of us are jealous of your son. 89 toyota corolla just doesn't compare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SWPruett 83 Report post Posted August 20, 2015 Everything looks fantastic! That poor boy must be losing sleep at night dreaming of his time behind the wheel (I know I would!). Where did that booster come from? Is that one of the NPD replacement pieces by chance? I am looking for that exact booster! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobotMan 264 Report post Posted August 21, 2015 My son is aggravated that school has started back and he can't spend as much time in the shop as we did this summer. I told him to try and focus on school and we will continue to work on it when we can. 1 SWPruett reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobotMan 264 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 We set the motor and were excited to see the motor mounts line up!!! I was worried about this since we replaced the shock towers way long ago. Caught my son wiping the chrome on the valve covers😄 2 SWPruett and Ridge Runner reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRASTiK 22 Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Been following your build, very nice work. Props to you and your son(s). I'm from the 'Burg too, wondering who you're having do the paint?

DRASTiK 22 Report post Posted September 8, 2015 I've been here 7 years, working in I.T. If you've ever called the helpdesk, you've spoken to my staff. Heck, I bought my rusty heap of a mustang in 09, and I'm still far behind you. You two are moving along quickly! My step son and I spent this past weekend on the stang. Had a great time.
