I guess I won't be bringing a car.
I can't fix the brakes, and I don't want to bring the same car last year.

[anthonydalrymple]

Thanx for the link! I replied to you're thread; I think you can fix it well within time....;)

[v8only]

sweet. This year will be good for me.

I'll be there with the 86 vert, my bro will be there with the 86 ttop, and My father and I will have our 86 ssp coupe there... the "thompson 86 collection" can't wait!

[Dean_T]

If I can't get the 2 dr sedan past smog (I'm going to have to jerry rig another muffler on it) I'll be bringing the beat-up Fairmont wagon.

I'm not sinking money into the I6 exhaust system only to rip it out later when it gets V8ed.

Dean T

[50 Proof]

sweet, i'm going to print out a form and send it in by end of this week.

[Marz]

I need to send in that form I got in the mail.

[84NAVYCAT]

I'll be there again, but this time I'm parking with you mustang brothers, as last year I was the only capri there, besides a mclearen in another row so I didn't get that much traffic past me.

[Marz]

Holy cr@p... theres a Zephyr in the picture... I never thought they'd do that!

[anthonydalrymple]

I mailed mine in already. You don't have to buy tickets to the park do you? I just sent a check for the $35.00......

[Slick 5.0]

Holy cr@p... theres a Zephyr in the picture... I never thought they'd do that!

Are you show the 85?

[Ken Newman]

I got my flyer in the mail. Two years ago I went and didn't pre-enter (had to park at Sears). I pre-entered last year then missed it being in the hospital. I hope to make it. Anything to do on Saturday night to make it worth driving over for on Saturday afternoon? Ken.
P.S. I get the car in the divorce......:)

[Marz]

Are you show the 85?

I dunno.... I think I will.

[moelll]

BAHHHH!!!!!!

this is only a few weeks from me getting home!!!

i missed the last one (god damn duty) and i'm gonna miss this one too! BAH!

i hope i'll make it in 2009 with my mustang

[50 Proof]

I mailed mine in already. You don't have to buy tickets to the park do you? I just sent a check for the $35.00......

You are required to buy tickets to the park. If you do not, they will impound your car and go joy riding in it.

haha i'm messing with you. Tony, you only need to pay the 35 dollars to enter your car in the show

[v8only]

i'm not gonna have money till next fri...hopefully it's not full by then

[anthonydalrymple]

Thanks for the info Corey.... Jeremy, write a check & mail it in; it'll be quite some time before it is cashed IMHO.....

[50 Proof]

I haven't turned mine in yet, haven't had the money to. Plus, I don't like how you can't leave early if you entered your car in the show.

[anthonydalrymple]

I haven't turned mine in yet, haven't had the money to. Plus, I don't like how you can't leave early if you entered your car in the show.

Huh? Why would you need to leave early? You'll end up showing up early to do cleaning and get a decent parking spot. Then, you'll talk to a bunch of people asking questions and B.S. with other friends whom show up. Later, you'll go around looking at all of the other cars for hours..... Whoops, look how time flies and it's 3pm....;)

[84NAVYCAT]

Hey socal brothers, do you guys mind if I park my 84 capri with the mustangs this year?
Last year I was by myself out in the middle of the parking lot with 2 older mercury and I mean OLD!

[anthonydalrymple]

Hell, I'd make it where any mustang\Capri could park where ever they liked so long as it was within the confines of the area allotted for thier parking. The problem is that the organizers park you where they want you; in the intended group of other vehicles in your specific class.... You in the '79-86 'vert class; you park with them whether you want too or not IMHO....

[v8only]

ok. I'm in (hopefully). Check is written,and in the mail tomorrow

[anthonydalrymple]

'Bout damb time son.....;)

[chalkysexplorer]

i'm driving down. Would like to see SVO atendee's in the double digits this year.

[Dean_T]

Hm, '83 may not pass smog. '78 wagon is chock full of crap. '78 Friggin' is a shell. I'm running out of cars to enter. I guess I could just drive in with a wagon loaded with crap...

Dean T

[v8only]

get that 84 notch going!

[Dean_T]

get that 84 notch going!

If I had an EFI fuel tank, I can get it done - except the tank I have has a fuel baffle that can go walkabout. That and the engine may not be done in time...

The '83 Fairmont failed today - dead cylinder. If it's just a fouled plug I'm in business but if it's a valve, engine's toast.

Dean T

[82cat]

I have a perfect EFI fuel tank for ya if you'd like to swap me for your broken one. I'm in Costa Mesa.

[Dean_T]

Really? Cool! PM me a day to swap.

My '83 Fairmont passed (#5 plug fouled) so if there's still openings, I'm going to attend with the '83.


Dean T

[KJ Jones]

I'm "in," as of a couple of days ago. I'll be at Knott's once again with my '86 t-top coupe. We'll be in the same location, at the 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords booth, located in the grassy center area of the show (where the vendors and celebrated anniversary vehicles are parked). As it stands right now, I'll have the coupe and a custom-painted, supercharged '06 GT with me...a look at first-gen, late-model Mustangs and how far the've come to the S197 of today. PLEASE stop by, check out the cars and say hello. I'm looking forward to it.

Note to Dean T...You seem to be the resident SoCal, four-eyed "parts collector" around here (along with V8only), and you live fairly close to the Valley (closer than V8only and his brother). I've got a bunch of pieces that might help you with the '84 you're putting together. At this point, what is literally two boxes of various trim pieces and whatever else, are just in my way and I really don't forecast ever needing or using any of it. If you're interested, bring one of your wagons and load up, dude! Oh...what's it gonna cost you? If you promise to take it all (everything that I point out...NOT everything in the shop LOL), I guess I'll charge you the "high" price of a nice lunch or a case of beers or something LOL. I don't have an itemized inventory of the stuff and I'm not gonna take the time to make one. It's just a LOT of four-eyed Fox parts (I think it's mostly interior/SOME exterior trim, I know there's an '86 PCM and harness and other stuff).

As my wife always says, "KJ, you can put together a whole Mustang with all of the stuff you've got out in that shop!" Well, I already did (the coupe), so the excess can finally go.

PM me and let me know. DEAN ONLY. Not that we're best buddies or anything, he just lives the closest to my place and I know he rescues parts and cars like this (the kind that are on the verge of being thrown in a dumpster). If he wants, he can handle the inventorying and distribution of whatever parts to the rest of you all.

[v8only]

well guys, got the official registration in the mail today.

I assume the rest of you should start getting yours today.

the ol vert is in the show for sure :)

my bro with his 86 ttop flaked, as did my father with the 86 ssp, but oh well

Now KJ,
My feelings are hurt! Not really. Dean is a great choice as we know he will take good care of the parts and make sure they get used. The show is a couple of days after my divorce should be final (dear lord I hope so!) so I am going to try and make it with the Fairmont. Hope to see you guys soon, Ken.

[anthonydalrymple]

I'm officially in as well. Looking forward to having some fun.....

[v8only]

fun can only be had, at our ripe old age, if someone is hiding the alcohol.

I'll bring the big gulp cups :)

[Marz]

I'm in too.

I'm working hard at detailing the LTD LX and Scott will be happy to see that I'm doing my best at detailing the engine bay (finally). Hell, I got the red trim on the side moldings actually RED... which really does make the LTD LX stand out. And givin the time I'll install CC plates and the Koni reds I have laying around.

Ken, it WILL be good to see you there... actually IN the show!

:D

[Ken Newman]

It will be good to be able to go. I am looking forward to seeing you guys again.

[50 Proof]

Yea I flaked,
1 - I wont be able to park near anyone else
2 - they'll make me stay until the very end
3 - it's 86 GT that looks beat to **** and is in dire need of a paint job, no one gives a rats ass about it
4 - Even if anyone does give a rats ass about it, I have a lot of expensive parts on the car AND I have a personalized license plate. I don't like advertising to the potential thieves how much money i've spent on the car.

I'll still go to the show to hang out with everyone

Screw them all. The trailer queens can hang out and the rest of us that drive them can have some fun too. It's all good! Just getting out with our cars and meeting other Four Eyed folks is ok with me.

[50 Proof]

I go just to hang out with everyone and be around all the cars. That's what I really enjoy. Whether my car is in the show or not doesn't matter much to me. I've never been big on "showing" off what I have. I guess I'm just modest like that.

[Dean_T]

A Fairmont will be there to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Ford Fairmont/mercury Zephyr -even though the organizers of the event chose to ignore such a milestone vehicle.

Yup, In like Flynn. Hope to see y'all there.

Hope we can get all of these cars together - or should we spread them out and infiltrate the ranks?

Last year I was 2 or 3 rows away from Dean, Frink and Scott.

You can see what I have from last years show here: http://jpkvideoonline.com/FFF2007/index.html

I could barely walk so I could not venture far from my car.
I hope to be "cured" by this years show.
I have been undergoing spinal decompression daily for 4 weeks.

Do you guys still meet at Po' Folks for breakfast? Some of those cars in Red78's pictures are Chevy powered:( I thought they had to be Ford powered to be in the show?

[Marz]

Yeah, we still meet at Po'folks.

As far as the cheby motor thing. They'll allow them in... I just wouldn't brag about tossing a cheby motor in there. One time a guy showed up with a nice hot rodded ford roadster... but constantly got teased about the cheby motor that was in it and left early. Another guy showed up in a pantera with a Cheby motor in it... and well... he got ripped on it too. If one can take the people teasing about it then go for it.

[Ken Newman]

I still want to take a cherry 1969 RS, SS Camaro and put a Ford motor in it and take it to all the Super Chevy shows and hear those guys cry about it! :)

[LTDScott]

I just got my entrance ticket. Plan to be at Po Folks at 8am-ish like every other year!

Hope to see you out there Ken. I too had the pleasure of going through a divorce, but my ex knew better than to mess with my cars!

[Ken Newman]

My divorce should be final on April 11th if all goes well. I hope I can still afford to buy gas after it is final. I'll try and be there for breakfast at 08:00. Are we on the same time zone this time of the year? It's 08:50 here now. See you guys soon, Ken.

Luckily I didn't have to pay a dime to her. In fact, she owes me money!

Yes, we're on the same time zone now.

[Ken Newman]

Unless old yeller breaks down I'll see you guys for breakfast Sunday morning.

[anthonydalrymple]

You guys keep yacking so much & you'll not have a thing to talk about come time to meet for breakfast!;)

[Dean_T]

Oh, if Ken shows up with his Futura, there will still be plenty to talk about!

Tony, don't break your car at the track!

I just found out that some previous owner stripped out several holes in my '83 2dr sedan's carburetor so the top of the carb is barely attached. I wonder if that is part of the hot self-flooding-if-sitting-a-long-time-after-shutdown problem.

Remind me to remove the T-5 from the trunk before I go to the show...

That is a common problem on the 6. I repaired mine Thursday using Loctite Thread Repair.

Seem to work much better than using a tube of gasket sealer to drown out the whistle.
Car runs better too.
The new timing chain might have helped that one.

.... and her eyes will probably start to glaze over haha.

Bring plenty of beer in the trunk and it won't just be your wife with the glazed eyes....;)

[Marz]

Hey guys. I did some garage cleaning at my mothers place. I'll be taking some Mustang/Capri/Fairmont/Fairmont Futura parts with me. So, PM me and also bring a little extra cash and we can work out a good deal (I'll near give it away). I just want the stuff gone.

;)

Sometimes that's the best plan of action, bro. I gave Dean T a BUNCH of stuff. He's plenty happy, and I'm plenty happy about all of the space the donation opened up in my shop!:) As difficult as it sounds, sometimes just giving it away is the easiest, best way to do it.

Yeah, I may just give it away at the show anyways.

Also, I had a set of 1966 Dodge Charger hub caps I tossed over the fence of a hub cap shop last night. :lol: I didn't want them at all anymore and he was closed so I tohugh "F-it" and tossed them over. He probably won't know they're there for years. :lol:

[AT6svo]

Parts? What kind of parts?

I scored last year between buying those louvers from Jasen and the pace car cowl hood scoop from Jeremy/Corey.

Know anybody interested in a pair of nice black Sparco Evo seats w tracks for a foxbody?

I'm hoping KJ will be rolling to the show on his Marvomont 17" Ponys this year. Wanna see those!

[KJ Jones]

I'm hoping KJ will be rolling to the show on his Marvomont 17" Ponys this year. Wanna see those!

I'm jacking the car up and swapping tires (the car is on slicks right now, from the recent trip to the dragstrip) tomorrow, bro! The T-top coupe will be dressed in its 17-inch Mavromont Pony Rs for next weekend's show!

[v8only]

not sure if I mentioned it, but the vert has sprung a rod knock in the explorer motor. That means I'll bring the 86 ssp coupe to knotts instead. I've got some cleanup work to do on it bigtime.

Well, I have that other set of louvers for the 83+ Mustang. I'd like to find somebodt that will take them But they wont fit in the LTD LX.

I have a 82 Style dual snorkel and a 460 Dual snorkel aircleaner as well as one thats good for parts.

A capri instrument cluster panel and a Mustang GT cluster panel.

I have a Futura Taillight set up... I guess Dean and Ken can fight over that. :P

I'll post more if I can find more stuff I'd like to depart with.

You & me both..... I've been working on the car every night now until far past my bed time..... I will continue to do so until the day of the show or I drop from exhaustion \ lack of sleep.......;)

[Ken Newman]

[QUOTE=Marz

:) :) You can never have too many Futura tail lights!

[Dean_T]

I think I may be at my limit in parts. I have Jasen's old Futura tail light assy and at least two sets of lenses as spares (those lenses have a nasty habit of falling off). I just made a major purchase and need some garage space to put it in. I may bring some stuff in the trunk of the '83 2dr box top to get rid of too.

Oh, and I owe the feds and the state big bucks - whoops, I'm broke big time and in debt.

Ahh yes. The last minute thrashing/detailing sessions. I can empathize with that! :fried:

[LTDScott]

Are they standard EVOs or EVO 2s? My fat ass can't fit in standard EVOs.

Although I guess it's a moot point since yesterday I bought a new Corbeau seat for the BMW race car.

Will be doing detail work on my LTD this weekend. It got completely detailed a few months ago and isn't that dirty, so it's mainly touch up work.

I do have to buy new tires for it though. I was going to drive my car on the black Dodge steelies I have, but they rub in the back, and my g/f wants to come to the show with me, along with my dad who always comes, which means someone is riding in the back seat, which means they'd rub like hell all the way up. So onto the credit card will go a new set of Falken rubber for the '05 Mustang wheels.

[TNT]

Well my car is in no condition to show. I still have to do some wet sanding on a couple of drips from my paint job last month. But I'll be there to drool, take pics, and hopefully get ideas for what to do to the 'vert. Since I'm not entering, I'll just wander in whenever I can drag my ass out of bed.

They're EVO I's and my scrawny ass is snug in them so yous ain't gonna fit!

Can't go wrong with a good set of fawkin tires. ;)

Never let that worry you.... Most of us have decent rides that are dinged up drivers..... I go to sit in a lawn chair, drink beer, and talk with fellow like minded fox body fanaticals.....

Roger that. Last year I brought my '83 2dr sedan with the mangled hood and busted wheel covers. I'm bringing it again except with a hood of a different color and a much shallower dent. Still has the busted wheel covers.

Dean T

[v8only]

well, most know that the vert rod knock was only a starter, so the vert is back in for knotts.

sadly, though I sold off the pony wheels to get money for my 5 lug wheels, and in place is the ugliest ****ing set of ten holes ever imaginable.

looks like the god damned car threw up on itself. Christ I hate ten holes.

Well I am pretty sure it's too late to enter, but really, you shouldn't worry about that. I like to think of FFF as more of a gathering than a show.

Exactly

One year I saw a 1959 Edsel that looked like it was just starting to be restored. Had some sanded down parts, some primered parts and missing trim and some missing windows.

Another time a guy trailered his car in... basically a stripped down body! :lol:

[TNT]

I checked, The last chance to enter was 4 days ago. So I'll sleep in a little and get there when I get there. Last time I got away with parking at a strip mall across the street, so I'll try that again.

sadly, though I sold off the pony wheels to get money for my 5 lug wheels, and in place is the ugliest ****ing set of ten holes ever imaginable.

looks like the god damned car threw up on itself. Christ I hate ten holes.

but my car looks good with the ponys on it.

Hey guys, I just wanted to remind you that I'll be bringing some car stuff that I'll near GIVE away. I have a pair of Headman Headers 3" big wazoo (sp) Stainless Steel exhaust tips. A Dynomax Super turbo 2 1/2" in and out, and a set of KYB GR-2 Shocks for 87+ FOXes.

Make me an offer while there. Hell, even paying for lunch or beer will due.

:P

Thanks.

if you want them, go for it Tony,...my 5 lug swap is at least 2-3 months off, if not longer. If you can get use out of them, go for it.

I'm debating..... I'm seriously thinking about them Tokico adjustibles.... We'll see but i absolutely don't want to "bogart" anyone of my friends.....

[v8only]

no big deal man, stuff flows both ways here,...If you want them, take them, otherwise I will, but like I said, I'm a few months off from needing them....you'd have em installed by the week after. If you don't like them, tear them off.

either way, we'll talk about it next weekend.

OK guys,
I need directions to the Po' Folks restaurant again. Remember I'm 53 years old and my memory isn't what it could be. Terry and I will leave Phoenix at about midnight Saturday and meet you at the restaurant for breakfast at 08:00. Give me the address and the cross streets again (please). Thanks, Ken.

Hi Ken,

I hope this link helps:

Map to Po' Folks (http://maps.yahoo.com/map?q1=7701%20Beach%20Blvd.%20Buena%20Park,%20CA%2 0%2090620&mag=5&ard=1#mvt=m&lat=33.850984&lon=-117.998196&mag=5&zoom=17&q1=7701%20Beach%20Blvd.%20Buena%20Park%2C%20CA%209 0620)


I'm afraid if I give directions you may end up in Canada.

Exit south on Beach Blvd off the 91, go like 1/2 mile and it's on your right across from Medieval Times.

Thanks guys. I'd hate to miss breakfast!

Anyone that comes to the area a day early might want to check out Ecology's 50% off sale April 19-20.
They open at 8 A.M. I hope to go Saturday before cleaning the car.

[Slick 5.0]

What time are we going to Po' Folks restaurant on sunday?

They open at 8am, so we usually get there around then. It's usually a meet up for a bunch of us non-Stang freaks (LTDs, Fairmonts, etc) so we can all convoy into the show and park together (we have to park in the "other Fords" section), but anyone is welcome to join.

Hmm. That might be a possiblity. Got a rough location of where the yard is?

Jeremy - you gotta find a set of loaner pony wheels or something. Glad to hear it was a starter issue & not bearing or rod.

**** it. it is what it is. I threw some aircraft stripper all over the ten holes. Took all the crap and dirt off the front of it, as well as the clearcoat I believe. only spent a few minutes on them, but they look a lot better.

the 5 lugs will be on in a couple of months anyhow. the focus of attn is the explorer motor and black interior conversion anyhow.

Damn, you must be spending a lot of time polishing that turd!

I've been so busy working on my race car that I'm only going to do a light detailing job on my LTD. It's not all that dirty anyway thankfully.

I would have liked to do more polishing to my LX but Timewarner Screwed me over and I had to trouble shoot AND fight them over the phone for 4 hours. One of their contracted tech decided to use my cable line to get somebody elses up and going. So, now I have no internet or tv cable. :mad: And after trouble shooting and investigating I found that it was their fault. And now I have to miss work later today so they can fix their problem. :mad:

Good thing is... I get to polish the LTD more.

:P

I can identify with that.

Heh, that is definitely the story of my life!

Red78 - I hit the ecology yards down here in Diego all the time. I was probing for the specific one in Anaheim but thats cool, I can use the internets and the google with the best of them.

Timewarner's Monopoly should be kicked square in the nuts and their customer service sucks balls.

There's an ecology in Santa Fe Springs, not terribly far from Knotts. It sucks bad at that location, I wouldn't recommend wasting time there unless you are bored. Every once in awhile that yard gets some good ones, otherwise it's a bust 98% of the time. There is another ecology in Wilmington (near long beach) which tends to be much better but they recently reduced the size of their ford section in favor of imports. I went to the Wilmington ecology this past weekend and it was a bust there too.

I went to Wilmington last month. Lots of good stuff. I just have no place to put it.

I agree SFS is pretty bad. A couple of weeks ago there was a mint set of fog lights though.
http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthread.php?t=58264

I'm going to Wilmington tomorrow. At 50% off I know I'll find something. Like a good distributor, possibly a jack.

You are right. Just wasted 2+ hours at Wilmington. Nothing there. a 79 Mustang coupe, and a vert. They took out 12 rows of Fords. Great red console in one, I took the armrest, 7k tach in one, good bumpers front and back. There is a LTD like Scott's that will probably go in on Monday. IT is in the back now.

I have the PBF Al Valve covers. Cool thing is, I bead blasted them when I got them. They're the early finned Al covers. I'll bring them along. I was going to use them but I picked up a pair of vintage M/T Valve covers. I plan on using them on the GT to honor Mickey Thompson and to have that vintage 80's mod'ed look. Just meet at Po Folks and we can exchange the parts there. :)

jasen, I can get ahold of him at the show, I'll hit you up when I'm there tomorrow.

I was under the car this evening greasing the U-joints and didn't like how close the rear rubber brake line that runs from the body to the rear end was to the exaust pipe so I tweeked the steel line and it cracked :(! I freaken went nuts! It was about 6:45pm and I have no other transportaion to the parts store. I dug around and found two hard lines under my bench and cut out the rusty peice of tubing that was under the back seat (how does it rust inside of the car?) and reflaired the end and added a new peice. I borrowed some brake fluid and the neighbor kid to bleed the brakes and I think it is good to go. I don't want to hear how dirty my car looks tomorrow. If I just make it I will be HAPPY :). See you at breakfast, Ken.

[v8only]

that's some good old fashioned wrenching!!

I've got the vert as clean as the old beast is gonna get. I've got everything loaded and ready to go.

I've got my sun glasses and dodge hemi had ready to go to :)
