Hey everyone, wasn't sure where to post an introduction thread. So I figured I would start with the lounge.

Does this make me a lounge lizard?

Anyway, my Wife and I picked up an '87 T'bird sport the other night. Not a bad find, it's brick red metallic with red interior. The car has a few miles on it, but the AOD was recently rebuilt and the engine seems solid. So far we have added a K&N air filter and Flowmasters. I couldnt stand it, just love the way they sound. We have a pair of GT40 heads and GT40 intake for it. But that's it for the mods. I plan on this being my daily driver. Well, I may do underdrive pulleys... But I gotta stop there.

I'll post a few pics when I get a chance.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Coolcats.net, I havent seen that one yet. I will check it out. Ok, I need to take some pictures to show the base line. Like I said, not planning to go crazy with the build. But... It's hard to stop when you're having fun. Besides, there is so much info here and the members cars are so cool I am feeling a bit inspired. My Wife has already rolled her eyes at me a few times. That just means I am doimg my job! Besides, it's my duty as a Husband to annoy the daylights out of her.
