got it off the trailer and pulled it up to the garage to swap tires, put oil in it (rear main leaks like a siv), topped off the tranny, power steering, and brakes

the getto donut spare mounted backwards,,, couldnt find any other tires so he found this one, wouldnt fit the way its sapose to go so he threw some lugnuts on, put the wheel on and put more lugs on (we know its unsafe as hell, but it works and its just a field beater so its no biggy)

we were gonna go jump some railroad tracks with it, but the prick that lives close to em went by us, so he stopped n waited for us to see who we were and make sure we werent tearin up the roads, so were puttin that on hold till monday :whist: so when we went to go park it my friend decided to do a big ol burnout :evil:

watch out for the video of it tomorrow of it gettin air:burnout:
 
MAN! Thats the stuff fun is made out off. Those were the days when we used to go and pick up $50 cars and trash'em.
 
haha you know it. we got the car for free. my friends friend said he could have it or the city was gonna tow it, so we had to go get it :D
 
Hahaha lookin forwards to the video! My buddy and I took his 90's Colt off this train track launch and got about 6 feet of air, literally, cause the road goes downhill after the tracks so you launch out like 15 and get quite good height. Scary landing, but fun as hell.
 
im pumped to do it cuz ill be the one driving, and every time i drive to his house i always wanna stand on it and jump em, so nows the chance lol
 
well the bird didnt get a chance to fly today. after i got to his place went went to go get gas for it and my car cuz i was runnin low and when we got back right when we were gettin out his mom pulled up, and she woulda been pissed if she saw us drivin that down the road, so lets hope for tomorrow lol
 
doubt it has a 9", but if it does i know my buddy will keep it and probably put it in his lincoln. he's an all ford guy, of course im all mopar, so it dont hurt me to beat this ford into the ground :D
 
helmet and a cell phone on quick dial to 911.
Is it a rear disk brake car ?
 
ill have to see if i can find our helmet. my friend has a cell that gets reception out here in the country, neither of mine do

nah its got drums on the back
 
im hella pissed! i cant fly the bird now.

i went over there to pull some good parts off so they dont get broke on landing, and my friends mom came out and said that my friends dad doesnt want us drivin it cuz they need the motor and tranny and doesnt want us blowin up the motor cuz it has a oil leak

As an alternative strategy, an old Honda Civic would make a killer low-rider. Ordinary hydraulics should be capable of flipping it completely over. As a jump car, add some Macgyver-inspired wings crafted from a tarp and an old swingset, and it may be flight-worthy. Sweet.

Personally, I'd have a hard time resisting the urge to bolt a small picnic table (for maximum downforce) to the back of the roof and hang a Folgers can under the bumper. Vroom!
 
plus for $500 i can by a running POS intrepid that my dad has, and he said he'll even push with the truck hahaha
 
Reminds me of when we took my old 77 Monaco 4 door to the Tahuya horse camps. We got all 4 tires off the ground ala Rosco P. Coltrain style, we were ganna get them Duke boys!!!
