Hello FEP,
I'm from Houston and have had my 84 GT since 07. It is my second car ever, as my first car - 86 Mustang coupe, 4 cyl 4 speed - was totaled in a car fire. Sad occurrence, but thankfully I found my next gem, 84 5.0 5 speed, 2 owner car for $1300 shortly after.
Have 3 older brothers, 2 of them with foxbodys and we were competitive with each other as most brothers are. Seeing as how both of them only had exhaust, pulleys, gears, and cai, I wanted to go well beyond that and saved up every penny I could to go h/c/i on a rebuilt-to-factory-specs 302. It is now about to be 2017, and I still haven't driven the car since I tore the motor down lol. I'm pretty OCD, so if I was replacing one thing, it would always snowball into another.
My brothers have now long sold their mustangs, but I still remain loyal to my garage queen Here are some pictures taken throughout the years, with further explanation later down:
The last picture is how she currently sits in the garage. Mechanically, I have gone as far as my skills, research, youtube videos, and books can let me go. Just waiting on the holidays to be over so I can send her in to have gears put in, do alignment since all of the suspension is brand new (and way off), and have them set the roller rockers since I can't figure out these stud mount rockers. I've seen and read all of the YouTube videos on the subject, but have yet to get them dialed in! At this point, I just want my car done Any questions, feel free to ask, and I look forward to giving ya'll updates and check out some of ya'lls rides as well.
