After all those months of saving and buying parts the Mustang has it's new 331 stroker motor!
With the help of my friends I was able to get it running strong again. I thank them all! Check the new picture folder out for a few pictures.
Over all I'm expecting this new mild 331 stroker to put out 300hp. May be a little less. But it'll have more torque than the original motor. I'm very happy.

Been a while. :|
Many things have gone on. My 5L V8 Mustang is now a Custom V7. Lost # 6 Cylinder after 20+ years of abuse. So, that stock little 302 V8 is slowly getting built into a mild California smog legal 331 stroker. Using GT40 heads, a worked on stock 4 bbl intake and the stock emissions legal 4bbl carb that I built up. When done, I'm hoping it puts out around 240-260 rwhp and around 300-320 rwtq. Then I'll need to improve the brakes! I'll convert it to 5 lug 4 wheel disc brakes. Then eventually 13" cobra brakes up front. I did have the windows tinted and changed out the stock louver looking sale panels for the better looking Mustang SVO sale panels. Pics are in the pic section.
Went to the 20th anniversary of Megadeths RIP Album. Absolutely killer show. Testament, Exodus and Megadeth. There will be another show coming up in August but this time with Slayer, Testament and Megadeth. THAT show should be amazing just cause of Slayer.
My mother Finally bought a Mustang GT. It's a 89 Mustang GT convertible that was a 1 owner 80K mile car. Picture is in the picture section. After 13 years of her being w/o a V8, she's happy to have the power now. The car just needs little things... which I can replace w/o an issue.

I tell you... These last few days have been great!
Saturday night I went to the Whisky and saw some really great undergound Thrash bands.
Exmortus (killer shit there!)
Bonded by Blood
Desecrate (again... killer shit with a Maiden tribute and three guitarists!)
Hexen (more awesome killer shit!)
Rattlehead
Tyrant
All killer underground Thrash!
I was tossed in the pit during the Bonded by Blood set... which I wasn't ready for. And during the Exmortus Set I took a few laps in the pit as well. I've not been in a pit for years! I realized that I need to be in better shape to be able to keep up with these 18-21 year olds that can do it all night! lol I'll get there!
Heres some randomly picked pictures of the show on 7-7-7 that a friend took. I directed a few shots....





I had a blast!
And on top of that... I'm the MegaFan of the week at megadeth.com... check it out people! You'll see my friend Amy there too.

Well.... the shit hit the fan and I decided to leave... to go home. I can't stand to look at her and be with her.
Oh well... no big deal. I learned.
I'm home and feel that I'm out of that prison that was her home. What a bitch she turned out to be.

Well, I'm here in england with a girl who I thought was a GF and well... lets just say things are not as I thought they were.
It sucks and I'm not happy.
Thankfully I only have three day left untill I go home.
Not a very fun vacation....
I feel used.
Oh well.

Sent my GT to the body shop a week ago and picked it up Friday morning. I had the trim repainted. The original black paint still looked good so I didn't feel the need to have that done. I did not have the hood stripe redone due to it being a decal. To have that done correctly the hood would have had to be repainted... then the whole car to have everything match. I also bought a few go-go parts for the GT has well. With these parts it'll handle better and shift better. The shifter will keep me from destroying my transmission while slamming through the gears. I will also be able to go through the gears faster.
How did I pay for all this? Nope... no rich woman or robbing a bank. yep... I sold my Edsel. I'll miss it, but I can find another. It's easy for me to find a car after all.
Heres some pictures...

Finally added a picture of me. One quick shot late at night... and a tired me.... and with my hair untied.
On a side note.... sometimes life throws you a curve. And depending on the situation the best thing to do is to just ride it out. We'll see what happens with her....
And heres to the: FEAR/The Dickies/False Alliance show at the Key Club on Jan 25th! Can't wait to see FEAR! Been wanting to see them live for a while.
I know it'll be a great show!

Pictures added of my Mustangs front suspension upgrade. The 85 now has 87 5L Mustang 11" disk brakes, Lincoln MKVII 73mm calipers with Stainless Steel (SS) caliper pin bushings, Lincoln Town Car Master Cylinder, BBK slotted rotors, Koni struts, Ford Racing sport "C" springs (1" lower up front 1/2" lower rear), and SS braided brake lines. It will ride and stop better than stock. With the exception of the Master Cylinder the GT is now set up the same as my LTD LX up front. With all those parts, some not 87+ Mustang stock, the car will stop better. I need to swap the rear stock 9" drums for Fairmont wagon 10" drums.
I know, gearhead crap... who's really interested in that right?
In other news that gash on my hand is completely healed (still sensitive though) and is now a neat looking scar.

The mustang is low! See pictures in my album....

Added a picture of my latest body mod! It's a 1 1/4" cut that peeled back the skin to where you can see the tendons, muscle and bone! Boy, did I really do a number to myself this time. So now my right had is useless until the 14 of nov..
Of corse.... I got this late Saturday afternoon while removing parts from a car door I no longer wanted. Luckily My friend down the hall was home and rushed me off to the ER. I should have taken a picture of the cut while it was open.
