    Do you have the shoes swapped?

    My first ranger was a 93. Same engine as your mustang. It was geared wrong(3.08's?) and absolutely gutless. Great gas mileage and looong legs on the highway.

    My wife has a ton of bird feeders, the owls are trying. I enjoy watching them fly and hunt around dusk. Absolutely silent when they fly.

    Nice find.

    I've gone through that on my wife's vw. Replaced the rear rotors, a year later they are showing rust voids. Swapped them for oem, been good since. No longer buying rotors from that particular chain.

    It was a 4.0 5speed. 2wd. I put it together from a couple of trucks on the cheap. Made for a fun truck. I've owned a few of them as they are one of my favorite trucks.

    I wasn't into Mustangs in my youth, now I'd love to find one in nice shape. Funny how your taste changes as you get older. Definitely build that model👍👍

    Seen the wheel/tire set up,figured it may have been raced. Looks like a good solid car

    You're welcome. It's an interesting set of challenges you have, I've found many good tips and tricks come from threads like yours. Polishing bare plastic is something I would like to try on a future build. I've already repaired scratched windshields, but you don't have to worry about losing details with those.

    Great build. Very nice scratch building and something a bit different.

    Shaping up well. I've always been a fan of the pedestrian ford trucks, in the past few years the more commercial versions have really interested me. Models "bb" and similar. Keep up the good work👍👍

    I did it myself. Not difficult, but labor intensive and the materials can be costly, I used kilmat and silus products.mid-grade products, bang for your buck.I've got a single cab and did it over a weekend. FYI, just doing the doors will bring a big improvement.

    You mentioned toothpaste as a polish, most of them use baking soda or charcoal as a fine abrasive. Could either of those be an option mixed with a little distilled water? Just a thought.

    There's no cleaning this one. The moss is structural. Its the only thing holding it together.

    Yeah, the house was built in 1940, this property was originally part of the farm just down the road. The original farmhouse, which is basically right below me( I'm up on a hill) was built 1840's. I think the barn is 1900 or so

    It's moss. That barn needs to be taken down, it's unsafe, and on the far edge of my property.

    This guy made an appearance on my barn roof this evening.

    Messed around with the "t" while the clear is curing on the Chevelle. Moved the front axle forward and mocked up a blower on the nailhead. I really want to run hilborn injection on this, but the blower just looks mean.

    Welcome to the forum

    I've got the same generation gmc. The only mod I've done is full sound deadening in the interior. Huge improvement.
