Typical Mustang owner!!

[63dartman]

This says it all!!
Just kidding, this is my son with his 70 Mustang project. It shares the garage for now. I want to get it done so I can start on my Swinger.

 

[res1vw21]

Why why would you let him be seen in such an atrocity? You seam like a sensible person but now...... just kidding at least he is working on something American.

 

[ocdart]

Ya' gotta bring that kid outa the 'dark side' and into the light! You'll have the last word when your Swinger spanks his 'stang.

 

[daredevil]

Looks like a solid rustang. shamed you have to help to get it out of the way.lol It,ll be time well spent. I thought you were the boarder due to your avatar. Guess I was wrong. Youre an old man like the rest of us j/k

 

[DartSportGreg]

I have a 65 Mustang as well, Shhhhhhhhh!

 

[340srule]

Hurry up and get that stang' out of the garage,and move on to the MOPAR,my kids ever bring a Ford home they'll be kicked out of the house..lol

 

[DartSportGreg]

Actually my Mustang has been in the family since it was new(my grandmother won it in 1965 from Kirby ford in Portland, Oregon). The 289 still runs like a top and it has been a great car. I will fully restore it someday but the MoPar comes first. Sometimes you have to look past the blue oval, a good car is a good car.

My Dart shares a garage with an 86 Mustang GT we've had since new. Can't see anything rubbing off onto the Dart...the paint falling off the Mustang pretty much lands on the floor...can't say much for Ford paint.

Yep daredevil, I'm just and old *** boarder I am probably the only 43 year old boarder on FABO......It's a passion I've had since childhood. Give me a nice 14ft bowl with good lines and smooth concrete and I'll show you a badass skater tearing it up My joints that is. I'm skating with two right knee surguries in the past five years, right shoulder with arthritis, left ankle has been injured way too many times. I still love it though.

I bought the mustang for 400$ from a fellow young skater. It has a 351 with 289 hipo heads, large valves, pocket ported and matched. Runs really good for a ford. I put the heads on. The previous ones had a rocker stud pulled out and was running like dog crap since the rocker was sitting side ways. Once I fixed it it ran perfect. My son takes alot of pride in it since we work on it together. He was trying on a suit for his graduation and just had to try on the helmet and glasses. He is a great kid(my kid, he just turned 18 so really he's a young man) So I just snapped some pics to post on his myspace page

 

[Sparky]

Please don't kick me off the board but if someone offered me a 67 stang fastback with a 390, I don't think I could say no.

 

[Mopardude]

For the last time, it's not a Nova, it's a Dodge Dart Sport!:thebirdm:

So true!

 

[rumblefish360]

The real question is, why would you let him out of the house dressed like that? LOL

(Just kiddin, just kiddin!)

 

[Longgone]

I once owned a 70 Mach1 with a 351C. It was a great car but I love all muscle cars! It`s good to see your son taking an interest in the hobby.

 

[63dartman]

You guys are great, My son wants to go to school at NWOU (North Western Ohio Univ.)for alternative fuels as a major. He is being pushed to start school in June just two weeks out of highschool. I have worked with my son a little on the Mustang and I can see that he needs alot more hands on. I know I am probably the hardest critic he will ever see but, I just think it would help him alot to get a year or two of practical experience working at a shop before going to school. I't's one thing talking the talk and another proving it. What do you guys think?
Others are worried he will put off college entirely if he doesn't start right away. I told him that it is his choice and it won't make a difference as long as he does his best.

 

[damnimcooltom]

I know that if I ever took time off from college, I wouldn't have gone back. I can give TONS of advice about what NOT to do in college.

Nice. this is a little off topic, but I still skate a little(bad knees as well, too many big launch ramps in the 80's). The new school groms can't believe that I can still kickflip an old school(pig) deck. I still have a 1989 Steve Saiz Powell Peralta Feathers model with tracker trucks and rat bones wheels(spider web griptape). The sad thing is that I sold a bunch of NOS decks that I had a few years back to move to California(for a girl). Well needless to say I never moved, the girl is married to someother guy and those decks have all but tripled in value. I sold a Hot pink Tony Hawk iron cross/bird skull, a Mike Mcgill skull and Snake, a couple of steve Caballero dragon and bats boards, a Per Welinder Nordic skull deck, a Tommy Guerrero Dagger deck and a Clause Grabke clock deck, all still in the factory shrinkwrap. I could just cry.

You should have, they`re awesome street cars! My brother has a blue one buried under boxes that`s been sitting in the garage for 20 years. It makes me ill to see it there. I hound him to get it going again.

WOW! i remember those boards!!! i used to work in a skate shop in 86/87 and we would sell the precut grip tape. kids today say what is that? did you guys buy the gator deck after he killed that girl? i can't remember if those decks ever went up in value. i don't ride much anymore, but still have a max schaaf board ready to go. my favorite boards were the vision gonz, sma natas, lucero ricky barnes, and the zorlac metallica. i still have my independent truck company tattoo though. my buddy that does my towing for my shop has an armband tattoo of indy crosses.

Wow, now I know how my wife feels when I talk about cars. Clueless and dumbfounded. The extent of my knowledge about skate boarding is what I learned from the movie "Gleaming the Cube".

 

[OneOfMany]

LOL ElephantKiller.. not to give away my age, but when I was a punker we had the bleeding edge equipment - we called it a "banana board". It was a yellow piece of plastic with trucks that allowed you to turn lol.

Grant

LOL.. did a google and came up with this: "Dogtown skateboards Banana Board Deck. Old School, the boards your parents might have ridden. DECK ONLY!7.375" X 28" inches"

http://www.skatesonhaight.com/Dogtown-skateboards-Banana-Deck-p/dsdbb.htm

Grip tape is optional.. To us grip was wearing good Northstars or Addidas.. haha

[63dartman]

DartSport, that story almost made me cry. As you went through the list of boards you had I saw dollar signs jumping out a window. Especially once you said "still in the shrink wrap" That has to be a lesson learned. Glad to see we do have some over the hill skaters here. I used to skate up to three times a week but, I'm starting to slow down (actually I'm busier than heck with the grandkids and home remodel stuff)and only get out about once a week now.

A few months back, my wife sold her 70 Mustang Conv. (this was the deluxe version, only 1400 built) with the orginal 4 barrel 351C. We will be using the money to restore her 72 Duster which she has had since it was new.
