User Rides / Come meet Miss Plain Jane
We picked up a little 84 T bird and 1st thing that came to mine is this car is as plain as a car can get.
No power anything.  Talking roll up Window, No power locks,seats,trunk,seats,  Hell only thing that was power is the mirrors lol. 

But being so plain we had to name the car Plain Jane.

Lounge / A word to the wise. Secure your load.
Trust me i know the person can be held liable and he would have if he would have stopped. Flip side to this is i'm a commercial driver so i know laws and rules. 
If he would have stop odds are i would be in jail for knocking  out of him.  To say i was a tad pissed would be an understatement. 
I see or hear of wheels coming off trucks or people that lose part of a load and it bothers how dumb some people are.

This one hit hard as my family is taking this worse then me.
Mostly because i have my son in that seat when i have the car out.

guy with pickup and trailer had bunch of wood fall out  the 4x4 and few 2x4s went under car.  I made it half way onto shoulder lane to try and avoid  what i could.  The 4x4 skipping on ground touched the under of car and as soon as that happens it ether go right under or get stabbed into ground.  In my case it stabbed ground and came right into car.    Lucky i got half onto shoulder or it might have come up the driver side.  I'm still finding more damage under the car.

Well were i'm from rust is a life style and this car has seen every winter.  But floors were still solid. 
The pics of back of the car look like its rust bucket but its surface rust that will clean up with wire wheel.
So i guess i'm at the point were i start pulling the car apart again.  But this is the last time i'm doing this.

As wife has said b4  go take care of the Mistress

Something for every one to thinking about.
Dont mater if your handy man, commercial driver, or some Joe helping a buddy.

Make sure you secure load. 


I say this why u might ask?  Well pics are worth a 1000 words.  2 feet to left has a new meaning.

And thank god i didn't have my son in the car!

I have been busy dealing with X,  In nut shell I won that deal.
Back to ThunderChicken it needs alot of work now, Body is not to bad but it will still take alot of time to get this car as nice as my cougar was.
On side note it goes like hell and this winter i'm working on the turbo setup or body.  I have not made up my mind yet but who knows it depends on my mood lol.

29x12.50    X

I have more room in there to run even more tire X
The back half is tubbed with 9inch and ladder bars X



This car has a lot of miles on it in good and bad weather.  I will be very busy with wire wheel and cleaning it up to the way it use to be when i 1st built the car.

User Rides / 1986 XR7 351 turbo swap....
Always liked the 351 turbo setup.  I was going to do that a long time ago.  I have a 460 in a 85 T bird that is built for boost and 2 91mm's sitting and waiting.
But all good things come in time.  Best of luck with your ride.
