Thread: 1974 Mustang II Build

Good eye on the Monza Seth. I'm storing it for a friend of mine who's currently working as a contractor in Afghanistan. It's an original V8 car, that somewhere along the line the 262 got changed out for a 283 and a 10 bolt rear end was added. Rumor has it was street raced on a regular basis locally for a few years. My buddy has scrounged the Mirage fiberglass body panels for it along with a few other parts (including a 400 SB) but who knows how long it will be before he actually gets to it.

As far as Cade and school work, I can't say a lot, basically I was the same kind of student he is. Nobody could get it thru to me how important it really was......I ended up figuring it out not long after I graduated that I really should have paid more attention in class. We're hoping Cade won't have to find out the hard way too but who knows.

Starting at age 8 through 15 in Karts, then moving into modifieds on a dirt track, I learned at a very early age that Dad's willingness to open up the checkbook, supply technical expertise and transportation to the races was very dependent on grades in school!!!!

It looks good on you Mike, I'll bet you dollars to donuts Cade will thank you for it someday!!!!!

I was just looking at one wondering if it was too ugly to own or ugly enough where I had to have it. It's also a V8 four speed car, that thing could fly with a small build.

Do whatever it takes to keep em motivated to keep trying. We couldn't convince our oldest to finish school and he's in a mess right now to put it lightly. Our middle one has gone further but he's a senior this year and he has to go to summer school to pass but the problem is his give a shi# level is a -10 so we'll see, but it doesn't look promising. What's so frustrating is their both way smarter than me and could be anything they want, but they can't seem to pull their head out of their ass. Our youngest boys outlook seems much better so that's a very good thing. Sorry for the hijack , I need to vent sometimes.
