Thread: New From Idaho

Welcome to the family. You have had 15 years of fun in the car so I suppose missing one or two summers of events isn't the end of the world. Did I say what an awesome looking coupe you have so please, can you give us a breakdown on the mechanical side of things ? I did notice that somebody had pinched your wiper arms and blades which is a bugger. Did I say what a darn lovely colour your coupe is too ?

Wow, thanks for the great comments about my car. I have had lots of fun with it and you are right, one year will be worth making it better!

The car has a ZZ4 motor with Edelbrock performer RPM intake and QuickFuel carb, March serpentine pulley setup, MSD Pro Billet HEI and MSD 6A, TH350 trans, 9" Ford rear with 3.25:1 gears.
Front end is Fatman Fabrications mustang II coil over setup with 3 piece sway bar (1.25" hollow bar with .095 wall), and t-bird power rack.
Rear suspension is Possies super slide springs with reversed eyes, 7/8" sway bar, Slide-a-link style traction bars of my design.

Yea, and I have to say, picking a color was one of the hardest things I had to do. I lucked out, I think the color is great on this car. Now if I can just figure out what to do on the inside!

Oh yea, the wipers, I leave them off because I don't like the way they look. I keep them in the trunk and if I get caught in a downpour I just throw them on.

I'm in Boise.
