He did. He decided he was out of the fox thing after getting a death threat from someone. I wish he would come back, even though alot of arguments got started with him, he did add to the comunity.

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.

X2 I wish he'd come back, he added alot of hard to find parts and made them readily available to us.

He had a stash of parts, but his compulsive lying and sky-high prices got the better of him.

Did anybody buy his stock of parts? I sure would like one of those plates that go around the power window switches.

Dan, he stated the name of the new owner, but I don't think Santana ever got things off the ground. I think he was having problems trying to get things set up in his state. Has anyone ever purchased anything from him, any "old" Aerobird Motorsports parts?

I got a seat control panel decal set in a trade and some front and rear bumper cover chrome trim.The trim was perfect,the decal set was O.K.,nothing I couldn't have my friend at the vinyl graphics place reproduce.....which I think I may just do.I could make a few bucks off of that deal.I wouldn't be as proud of them as Mike was,so I would be a lot cheaper.Stay tuned for that.
