What's with the lack of creativity among mustang guys? February 04, 2006, 07:35:26 PM So I'm getting yet another new toy, http://www.ferdbird.com/SVO/, so I figured I'd go on a stang board and ask a few questions since of course I have some ideas to customize the car. Now when I come on here and ask if parts swap, 9 out of 10 times I'll get a definitive answer. When I go there they basically just say "huh?"So after giving it some though I came to the conclusion that it's kind of good that there's not much of an aftermarket for out cars... it keeps us on our toes and it definately keeps us creative. I guess stay tuned for the shows this summer. The SVO will probably be my ride of choice for the year and trust me, it won't be just another mustang. The sport is rotting again and it's just a battle that can't be won. Quote Selected

What's with the lack of creativity among mustang guys? Reply #3 – February 04, 2006, 08:23:14 PM I joined a Mustang board to find info on my '05. I don't post there too much. With all the magazine info that is out there and available right now, it's easier to just read it or google something than to wait for the wash-women to actually answer a technical question.

What's with the lack of creativity among mustang guys? Reply #5 – February 04, 2006, 08:34:58 PM As of right now my sport will be my daily driver. The rot has gotten too deep and it will be a never ending battle to catch it all. The turbo coupe is hanging out in the back yard until our garage/apt. is done (in progress here http://www.ferdbird.com/barn). I have very big plans for the turbo coupe... it should come out of hiding for the 07 season The SVO is actually in relatively good shape and I'm getting a great deal on it. My plan is this... I'm having a mustang hood louvered up and sent from Boston (but of course). I'm going to do a frenched antenna on it like the sport has as well. Once the hood gets here I plan on doing a bit of custom work to it. I will probably be cutting the front by a few inches to allow for a grill for airflow for the FMIC I had on my 85 t/c. Then of course I need to make a custom grill and get some nice wheels for it. The interior needs work, but that will have to come at a later date. Once I have all the metal work done it's being repainted black with a frost blue pearl. I'll be doing all the bodywork and paint at school so I have access to some decent equipment at least. And I would never destroy an SVO. You have to remember that most mustang guys hate SVO's anyway since they're not V8's.I'm just hoping my knee isn't as bad as the doctors think it is because that may set me back a bit (see weight loss thread) Quote Selected

What's with the lack of creativity among mustang guys? Reply #11 – February 05, 2006, 03:40:25 PM LOL, sounds like a good plan Paul :)I could understand a general mustang board not knowing much about SVO's, but all I asked about was swapping some body panels and was met with total confusion. Oh well, I guess that's why I've never been drawn to the mustangs... Quote Selected
What's with the lack of creativity among mustang guys? Reply #12 – February 05, 2006, 04:02:37 PM What body panels exactly?The whole front end on an SVO is SVO-specific, you can't swap individual parts with those from any other mustang.The rest of the car is general issue Mustang except for the bi-wing spoiler.
