Arlie;
I'm still here. Just don't post as much these days. Have been busy on a new project car. I still check the boards to see what's up. And yes I still have my GT/CS. Show season starts shortly so, if the weather ever actually warms up here in Ohio I'll be able to clean up the car. I actually had her out on Easter and had a ball. I thought one guy was gonna brake his neck trying to look at the car.

Whatever happened to Don?

I thought the same thing to myself the other day!

I looked and saw he had posted not long ago so knew he was still around.

We missed you Don! Glad all is well.
I hear you about the weather. Cruises started this week in NY but it's been in the 30's at night! What happened to Spring?

The car is currently at the paint shop. Hope to have it back next week. It's a 1993 LX Hatchback. A friend of mine started the car several years ago and lost interest in it so I kinda picked it up from where he left off. I've wanted another Fox body car ever since I sold my 1991 LX to purchase the CS back in 04. Have been working on it for the past couple months and am just about finished. So far it's got a FMS 302 crate motor, E303 street cam, GT40X Aluminum Swirl Heads, Holley SysteMax II intake, 80MM Pro-M Mass air Sensor, 75MM BBK Throttle body, FMS 30lb Injectors, 1.7 FMS Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms, MSD 6AL Ignition Box w/MSD Blaster Coil, Paxton Novi 1000 Supercharger, Tremec 3550 5 Speed w/pro 5.0 shifter, FMS 3:55 gears, FMS Aluminum Drive Shaft w/Center Force Dual Friction Clutch, BBK long tube headers, BBK off road H-pipe, BBK 225lph Fuel Pump, Lakewood upper and lower control arms, FMS sub-frame connectors, Magna Flow Performance Exhaust, JDM racing seats and a 3.25 Boss INC Cowl Induction hood. The paint will be "Indian Fire Orange, with ghost flames over the hood and sides. Rims are chrome 5 star pony's with 225/55R-16's on the front and
245/50R-16's on the rear. I just got the seat extenders in today to move the seats back for a little more leg room so will put those in next week. Once it's back from the paint shop she'll be going in for dyno test and new chip. Will post a few pics and hopefully dyno results next week. I hope to get 400-450HP to the rear wheels.

Paul; How's your cobra replica coming along?

Your project sounds amazing. Can't wait to see pictures.

The cobra project is moving forward. I am almost ready to go to paint with the body. The frame is pretty much together now. I got my FE engine back from the engine builder and looking forward to installing in the frame. Once we get the body completed, we will test fit the engine/tranny and send to the cobra shop for custom made headers and side pipes. Then, the body will stay there for paint. Once we get the painted body back, the car should pretty much fly together.

Can't wait.

Looking for Koronen from Tacoma with his 08 black GT/CS. Last I heard he was going back overseas in the military post wedding.
