Who does about a free car? :D Quote Selected

The Free Bird Reply #21 – July 06, 2007, 04:38:10 PM after the body is straight, do some mods to that v6 like put a stroker kit on the engine, cam ,some heads,make it carb, different rear end for posi, and a new hood, plus true duals then you got a great and nice looking car. Quote Selected

That'd be waaaaay more expensive than it would be to just go out and find a 5.0 Ho to stuff in it. Would be cool though.But anyhow, clean it up first obviously. Once all that dirt is off, you may have a better idea of what you're working with. Even after that you could call it project Dirt Clod :hick: . Wish i could find a 4-eye for free. Quote Selected
The Free Bird Reply #24 – July 07, 2007, 08:01:04 PM you know... it seems kinda funny to me that I keep getting so many of you fox chassis guys telling me to junk it, s it, or burn it... No respect for someone willing to try to save another fox?And for those of you who have been giving legit ideas... THANKS!!! Quote Selected
The Free Bird Reply #25 – July 08, 2007, 12:14:54 AM There are some people on here that if they see a little bit of rust or damage from a wreck they will just tell you to "find a good shell and transfer the good stuff to it" or "its a beater". I posted a pic of some rust in the rear lower quarter panel and was told my front frame rails had to be rusted out. Which as you can see isnt true.Thats why I dont feel like posting any progress pics of my car it seems like a lot of BS on the board lately. Sorry for the hijack. Nice car and you cant beat a deal like that. Get it fixed and if I were you i would ditch the 3.8 and go with a 5.0 HO but thats up to you. Quote Selected

The Free Bird Reply #28 – July 09, 2007, 03:28:23 AM No, give it to me, I'm closer :D Besides, if I stick it in the backyard the city won't even notice it sitting amongst the trees. It's already camaflouged.:hick: Seriously though, if it won't break you to save it, save it by all means, but you may want to get rid of some of the camaflouge. If you want to soup it up a bit, there are 3.8 aftermarket superchargers that will make it a sleeper. Quote Selected
The Free Bird Reply #29 – July 09, 2007, 01:34:48 PM Who has these 3.8 supercharger kits? I've been searching for something exactly like that... Quote Selected
