So what's the dealio, is it all done? When can we swap mustangs for a drive - I want to see if I really want a 60s classic car. If it's terrifying to drive, I'm gonna bag the idea.
PS I think Bob will get a kick out of a WOT 0 to XX (1XX?) run in the gt350
So left to do....
Alignment, scheduled for next tuesday...needs that BAD
Fender still needs to be aligned, might be able to get to the body shop as soon as tomorrow....once that is done, then i can put the lower trim on the drivers side
Drivers side door panel needs to go on
Passenger side window needs to be adjusted...i have it in, but its not rolling up cleanly...its like 127 way adjustable and I spent 2 hours playing with it one night and gave up...so I need to get on that again and finish it.
there are squeaks, rattles and chirps that i have been ironing out....still have several to find.
Maybe over the winter....
valve seals need to be replaced
speedo cable repo that I bought didnt work, so i need to get another one
the car is sitting ever so slightly off in the rear, high on the passenger side...i cannot explain this other than maybe the traction bars i had on the car for 20 years warped one of the leaf springs? not sure.
few spots in the paint that the boys need to wet sand a little more.
oh and I need to design and construction a hitch for it bc nobody makes a trailer hitch for a 67 mustang and putting a bike in this car is really hard since it doesnt have a fold down rear seat. I thought about converting it, but it was a shit ton of money and i dont like putting my dirty bike in my car anyway.
Hmm, well best way I can describe driving my mustang...its not boring....you BEG for red lights and its a blast going thru the gears....would I want to take it on a drive with you,
@Carson and
@GSTim on twisty roads?...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol. I think as a drivers car, (although i have never driven one) a cobra replica would be a great mix of fun and the feel of an old classic car. Like you can hammer turns with it, tear off from stop lights, its got some classic appeal....I mean part of the fun of taking my 67 out...i always run into someone who tells me their life story, etc...its a great conversation piece and I LOVE peoples reactions to it. Kids asking me if its an 87....teenagers taking selfies in front of it...(this actually happened on saturday lol) its just fun to drive around in and goddam i never get tired of listening to it idle at stop lights and shake other people windows lol. I have to say, i ran into 2 different british guys over the weekend and both of them were like drooling the same kind of way I would drool over an original british sierra cosworth....I thought that was interesting. This women with two misbehaving kids at cliffs....she stops yelling at them to say to me...omg that is so pretty lol...Like it just brings smiles to people faces, i really enjoy that.
