Thanks for the compliment. I'm actually redoing the roof stripes soon because they started peeling a couple months ago. They were on the car when I got it, so I don't know how well they were installed. This will be the first time for me.

racer99 · 04-29-2008, 09:02 PM

Over the past 35 years= too many
cars=over 250,000.00
and less than 500K.
That is correct.
Racecars were the biggest part of it.
Current 5 car fleet= 25 t0 30K

racer99 · 04-29-2008, 09:06 PM

Hey,no counting the house and shop.

blkstang87 · 04-29-2008, 11:24 PM

Well,
about 1,400 in audio
about 2,000 in wheels (have 2 sets of wheels)
small lil things like: tint, chin spoiler, delete kit, headlights, hid kit..eeehh about 500?
performance wise about 60bucks (CAI) lol and thats about it, dont plan to keep this car forever

thatdavidkid · 04-30-2008, 08:43 AM

i've got about $800 in the transmission(S) which also includes a lot of the little misc. stuff for my 5.0 swap(bought a bunch of stuff from a guy at once)
$350 for the new heads,
$50 for the block,
picking up my pistons this week $100.
and probably about $1000 in "traded" parts whether it be the 14 hours of labor i traded for my wheels, or the video game i traded for my ecu that i'm going to use on my 5.0 swap...
$700 for the car
there are TONS of other little parts i missedbut it's all part of the game

Mustang_68_Coup · 04-30-2008, 11:51 AM

Car $2,300
Front End $1,000
Engine $80 [Mother's Day present (rebuild kit)]
Vintage Plates $10

Still need
Tranny Rebuilt ($300)
Power Booster for my brakes ($100)
Paint (???)

But I've only owned it about 10 years, so I want to pace myself and take it slow ... y'know ...

So ... prolly about $3800 when it's drivable.
