      A bit of color contrasts nicely on the bumper strips. One thing I do sort of dislike about the ones on the Lincoln is that they are flat. Can't give them the same treatment.

      Definitely dig the easy shut doors though. After mine got stoved in and replaced, for whatever reason the replacement door shuts amazingly nicely. The frame is tweaked right there from a patch, and I suspect having it smashed in with a van must have un-tweaked it.

              heh, *empty space*, that "other" car.

              Thats actually why I tend to find Ford things boring. Its mostly all Mustangs, and maybe a scant handful of other models that all get lumped into the "and that other stuff Ford made" category.

                The first pic is at preshow. We just met up at Timmys so we could all cruise together. As for the show itself, this was as a Mustang performance shop so no surprise that it was mostly Mustangs. Last Ford show that I went to had all kinds of Fords, not only Mustangs.

                  I don't get bored with Mustangs, because of all the different things you can do with them. I like when guys build up a Mustang II, personally I think they look cool, kinda like the same vintage Ford Falcon, although the Maverick is more similar.

                    I agree, I love Mustangs.

                    Also I love how ModBox is away from everyone else LOL

                      I find them useful as parts cars. Otherwise, they have way too much "me too" factor. Don't get the point of them. They're not particularly comfortable to drive and the suspension sucks. I don't understand Jeeps either, but people like those too.

                        yeah... my wife loves the idea of a jeep wrangler/rubicon... but I'm sure once she actually drives one and sees how truck they are, she'll rather have something else. I also don't care for stangs due to the stiff ride. My back loves my vic and LX seats with lumbar support.

                          Mustang is just the cheapest way to go fast, be pretty, and have a v8.

                            Mod Box is officially parked for the winter. I ripped the blower off again last weekend and this time it's staying off permanently. I already sold a few parts off it.

                            Today ordered a set of 5 speed pedals from Pier so 5 speed will be going in come spring time. Maybe sooner if we have warm winter. I also placed and order on Australian Boss 260 intake so DOHC 5.4 swap will be happening as well.

                              DOHC 5.4. That's gonna be interesting, for sure.

                              That is how you're supposed to jack it.
