    Default N. Illinois, anyone ?

    Now that summer is approaching I was just wondering if there are many people on Four Eyed Pride that are from the N. Illinois area. I think it might be fun if we could plan a get together or BBQ sometime so we can show off our 4-eyes, have a beer or two, and swap stories and whatnot. I believe things like these are a pretty good insentive to work on our Mustangs, since we want them to be at their best in front of our peers LoL

    Just a thought !

    That's cool...One of these days this summer I'd be happy to host a BBQ here at my house. And every October I throw a massive party I call Skotobeerfest ! This party has been growing more and more each year and this year I hope to have a live band.

    Let me know what you all think

    Update - 2023 - Looking to buy 81 Mustang, 82/85/86 Mustang GT, and 79 - 86 Capri (No Sunroof). Not looking for all original/show cars or convertibles - I will be modifying. Would be nice if both were - Black Interior, PW, PL, AC, No - or very little rust. Motor/Trans/Axle not important. Options negotiable with price.

    I'm actually going to Antioch in a couple weeks to help my my buddy fix up their cabin and will probably be up there quite a bit in the summer with my boat. Are you gonna go to Fond Du Lac, WI this Sat for the Mustang BBQ ?

    I have actually been to Antioch a couple times in the last couple days...my GT had the smog pump seize up just after the Russel Rd. ramp...Had it towed to my girlfriend's ex-mother-in-laws house that is on the lake nearby Went back yesterday to try a shorter belt to bypass the pump but the belt got shredded up for some reason (wasted trip!) So I'm going back tomorrow with a car dolley to tow it home and work on it here (insead of the 3hr round trip up RT59)

    Thanks for the offer but I think I'm just going to haul it back home...I'm always paranoid about making a repair and then making a long drive. I'll keep ya posted on my progress ...I should have my smog pump delete pulley by Saturday
