Hey, you did say ugly. It's a work in progress. That's what the rockers looked like when I first got it, 140K miles and sat 8 years before I rescued it.
The covers were a gift.

Glad you mentioned "Foxbirdcats only"... You guys wouldn't have any interest in my 1.9 turbodiesel, 3.5 Chrysler V6 or 4.3 Vortec. Hell, I own them and I have no interest in them...

Sweet. Hope this is as epic as the wife/gf thread on the corral. I inspired that one too. :hick:

Nice shots so far guys. I've got to get an aftermarket Mass Air meter for 24's soon. I'm hoping for a supercharger next year...late next year.

What supercharger is that? I've been looking at a V3.

You'd probably have to ask him, but I am thinking it's a V2. I am not 100% on that though. I do know it's the model with the self contained oiling, so you don't have to tap into your oil pan. This is a quick vid from the day we fired it up. Sorry for black & white, but the sound is the best part anyway. lol.

It's a V3 as those are the self contained units, which is why I was looking at them.

You know sometimes I just open the hood on my T-bird and stare at the engine......is that bad? ;)

This is my favorite pic of my engine bay. I didn't take it it was taken by someone at a cruise night. I think it almost looks like a dealer brochure photo.
