Nice Pony's!!!!! My 200,000+ mile 88..... And my 85 2.3L notch.....

I'm thinking of using the Police/drag notchback kit with the New Monkey's GT vert kit, only thing is the notch is 1/25th and the vert is 1/24th.

I buy all the 8 tracks I see at my local thrift shop. They sell for 49 cents, I resell on the Bay for around $3-5 each. I even found a sealed recordable 8 track......!

Looking fantastic!!!! ? Someday I want to build a replica of my 88 5.0 LX vert.

Classical on vinyl. Sometimes Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly or Gene Krupa, vinyl as well.

I have those gears and BBK 170 mph speedo, headers, Dynomax Mufflers, no girlfriend but mine is a convertible. Of course that sweet sound of that 5.0 just makes me pop the cassette out.....LOL

Until I found the widescreen DVD of the Big Bus a few years ago I had only seen it on censored TV. Just as funny as Airplane (1980).

So many that make my 88 5.0 Mustang go like heck. Hit Between the Eyes.....Scorpions Jessica.....Allman Brothers Peace in Mississippi.....Jimi Hendrix Space Station #5.....Montrose Have A Drink On Me.....AC/DC Loose Goose.....Dust YYZ.....Rush Party.....Boston Achilles Heel.....Led Zeppelin Driver's Seat.....Sniff'n' the Tears Fool for the City.....Foghat

RIP Sally.........84 not bad. Watched "The Big Bus" a couple of weeks ago.

New cars.......NO THANK YOU. I'm sticking with my 4 old cars and I do 95% of all the repairs. If I buy another it will be no older that 1993 ( I want a Fox Mustang hatch). My daily drivers are..... 1996 Crown Vic 4.6 175xxx miles. Paid $500 for it in 2016. 1999 Mustang V6 138xxx miles. Paid $700 for it in 2017. Fun cars..... 1985 Mustang 2.3L notch 137xxx miles. Paid $1350 for it in 2009. 1988 Mustang 5.0 vert. 200xxx miles. Paid $5500 for it in 2002.

If I want no comfort/room I'd drive my 88 Mustang 5.0 convertible. If I want comfort/room I'd drive my 96 Crown Vic.

A small part of my camera collection.....

1977 Mercury Monarch 4 door w/302 auto (also was my drivers test car). Then a 1970 Ford F-100 "3 on the tree" for stick shift.

Best- all the Scorpions concerts I've been too. Going to fly to Vegas in April to see them there during their month long live in tour. Loudest- Judas Priest. Best sounding- Bod Seager. Best seats- Aerosmith -2nd row center. Met the band- Foreigner. Foreigner 4 tour 1981. After the show the band went to a restaurant that a friend's brother worked there and surprised us. So many other concerts.

First time I got pulled over was in my 71 Super Beetle. I was 16 (1980) had my DL for about a week and ran a stop sign. Cop let me go with a warning. First ticket was in my 68 Mustang, 36 in a 30 zone. People today drive well over 40 in that zone today all day long.

RIP Fever......

Oh yeah, LOVE that place. I've had a few of my typewriters fixed there. There is a documentary called "California Typewriter" that talks about a repair shop in CA and the "resurgence" of the typewriter. The doc was done by the same peeps would did "Rewind This" about VHS collecting (which I do as well). Oh and check this out...... https://typewriterrevolution.com/manifesto

Typewriters live on here in St. Louis, Jones Typewriter Repair shop.... https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/how-the-typewriter-is-still-surviving-in-st-louis/63-afbd4239-58bc-4fdd-a44f-e1fd0b1dff7c

I have a Smith Corona from the late 40's and that Remington I just pick up came out in the early 50's. I also have a few Royals from the 50's but most of the lot I have is from the 60's like the Smith in my photo.

Do'h...........my bad.

This company still makes kits.... https://markvfiberglass.com/baja-kits/

Dust.....From a Dry Camel

I have, I think 14 typewriters. I just found another at a thrift shop this last Wednesday for $25 bucks, a Remington Quiet-riter. This is the one I currently use, a Smith Corona Super Sterling I found for $15.

My 85 notch needs a V8 swap, a 351 would be very fun. After I buy a house I'm going to seriously look for a Fox hatch to paint white.

Very cool. I'm not into sewing machines but I do collect typewriters, radios, cameras, VHS tapes, 8mm/16mm movie cameras/projectors.
