    I miss my 'Cuda

    Nice to see that it's running, how long was it down for?

    2.3 turbo motor from the Thunderbird turbo coupe, right?

    I heard the transmission is weaker than the turbo coupe though.

    666! Lol.

    Haha, nice...very unique! I think these cars are ugly in the front, but they're definitely very cool. I'd like to see what you do with it!

    Yeah back when I was growing up in NY. My dad and my uncles used to street race. Most people had Starions/Conquests, Merkur XR4Ti, Mazda GLCs, RX-7s, and Toyota Starlets or Celica Supras.

    Those cars were our Integras, 240s, or Eclipses.
    Quality Perfomance and Fabrication!!
