Since the last thread was locked... thought we should start a new one at the top.

For all of you who did not join in the "MoRpH's new avatard" thread: Please post about fun projects, toys, and other automotive adventures. The last thread really got rolling on some cool toys before it was "death by cleavage."

Sounds like O Club material to me.

Morph...were you talking about the F-body as in Camaro/Firedird or the fox body Mustang. Was rereading your post and I think I have confused myself. <-----This statement should not suprise anyone.

F body usually a CaMrEo or FiReTuRd in my book. (don't get me wrong on this post.. I'm a bowtie lover at heart.. but Fox-body stangs are the Roxor. Cept they like ***holes, everybody's got one)

SHould idle like a grapefruitcat, get 18MPG highway (Overdrive transmission), and see 12.0 in the quarter (may need drag radials for that though).

To me F Body = Fox Body Mustang.

But i was certain you were talking about a Camaro in reading your handle.

My car is an 89 1/2 GT 25 aniv. Yellow. I only gots a few pics of it but will try and take more over the weekend. Its a mess right now. Redoing the wiring right now and also the engine compartment. I hate wires! lol... So anything I dont need is getting ripped out so things will look nice and neat.. as they should. I'll try and dig up a few pics right now for ya.

Probably some of the worst pics of the car but oh well. lol

The second one is last year at the track. My friend was taking pics that day and he needs to learn how to use a camera. Wheels weren't even close to being in the air when he took the shots. We only got 4 runs in that day and had to stop because of rain. Normaly there is no one taking pics of our cars because we are all driving.

This was just a test and tune day. And I think from that pic it looks like that run was a red light. Oh well lol... Didnt care about times that day.

The second pic was on a rainy old day after I pulled it out of the garage for the first time this year. Still had the old motor. It sits on cheap 5 stars durring the winter unless its on blocks.
I got a digital camera too. And I just never have the time to clean up the car and take pics.

Oh well, i'll try to get some better ones.

Sweet Morph. Post some Pics when you get that TT set up in. Would love to see it.

I have no current Pics of the car and no digital camera. I will dig around and see if I can find some of the old ones though. The car is a 2001 Light Pewter Metallic Camaro SS. Not much but all I have to work with.

Edbert that is a sweet Stang you are restoring. It can be the most fulfilling sensation and the most aggrevating at the same time. Good luck on the resto.

This pics are probably huge so deal with it. lol...

Since we are on the topic of cars.

Here are some pics I took of my best friends Mustang we put a blower in a few months back.

SLP Long tubes w/X pipe.
Sub Frames.
Suspension kit.

There was a very big argument the week before about which car was faster. The Black SS Camaro in the pic or my friends mustang. Other than the blower its a bone stock 4.6 Mod motor. But they love boost. The SS is stock as well.

Both ran on street tires.

First run the GT went 12.62 with a 2.001 60ft time @ 110 mph.
SS went 13.40 at 107. Didnt pay attention to the rest of his time slip. Didnt care either. Its a chevy lol

His car costs 10,000 more than the GT with the blower included and went slower. Thats what basicly started the whole argument. "I paid less and go faster and look better" haha I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I tend to agree the ford looks a lil bit better (Die hard ford fan)

They got 6 runs each in and were right around the previously mentioned times. Yay! Ford wins

Just thought I'd share
