Out with the old, in with the new... kinda

[HRSEPLA]

I have been busy these last 2 weeks, after taking my motor apart because of the knocking, and needing to go through the whole thing, I decided I was ready for a change...
I sold my Turbo kit, and decided to build a 408 Stroker, then talked to a guy that I sold a Notch (The infamous 'Nasty') to back in 1999. And he was selling the car less motor and trans. So then I sold my Notch yesterday and picked up this one today..
It has been totally redone and painted 'Titanium Frost' since I had it- and in 2 magazines, and I want to make a few exterior 'taste' changes.. but soon enough it will have a new motor, TH400 and some drag wheels on it.
So thats what I did this week:headbang
Thanks! Sam

[Moparjim]

Looks like it has some potential ;)

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Extremely nice fox.

[Car Guy]

[HRSEPLA]

Thanks!
I think I am going to do an N/A 408 and it should put it into the 10's. This thing weighed 2800# when I had it with the 347 and the T-5, now with a 408 and the TH400, along with the new Tubular K member it could be around 3000lbs empty. +driver (120lbs:)) Maybe if Tina Drives...:)

[UnderPSI]

Cool to see that you got it. Needs the drag rims now, it doesn't look like one of your cars otherwise.

[jbiscuit]

looks real good sam....some nice big brakes on that mug too I see! Love the color! Sounds like a nice combo for it too!

[scaleracer]

looks good! i was wondering when i saw your other one for sale on another board! you sold that other one cheap!

[Feature Pony]

Dang I didn't even know you sold your other one.. Its a nice ride "nasty part 2"?

[Flicktitty]

Looks good man! i still think ya shoulda kept the turbo setup imo.

[Slow Joe]

That's purdy... :thumbsup

[sloLs1]

very nice good luck with everything!

[BOSS LX]

nice!

[HRSEPLA]

i still think ya shoulda kept the turbo setup imo.

Why do you think I should've kept the turbo setup? In your opinion.

And thanks to Andy for being the trailer man!!! I'll buy you a Long Island at the Bonfire. And a marshellow with a surprise inside.

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Damn, that car is clean!

[Breecher_7]

So why wasnt the old car listed in the classifieds? I would have been very interested.

[MurphysLaw88GT]

that car is awesome looking!!!

congrats on that:drool:

[silververt]

And a marshellow with a surprise inside.

Don't even want to know!... Car looks good Sam!

[HRSEPLA]

Nice. You are gettin one too. I'll take you both on.:sniper

Sorry Breach, I did'nt want it around here.

[Deggy]

Was your old notch a vert Sam?

[HRSEPLA]

I did'nt sell the Convertable

I sold this Notch

[Deggy]

Oh, jesus...I didn't even know you had all those. Give me one :)

[SmokinRAM114]

Sorry Breach, I did'nt want it around here.

im the same way. im tossing around the idea of a new truck. i seem to be running into ALOT of problems with my 02. 02 has sentimental value as it was my grandpas that passed. if i do its going on ebay, i dont want to see it.

[rally_scort]

Was your old notch a vert Sam?

just curious how you could have a notch vert :durr

[Crawlin]

should have kept the turbo because it was pretty much the baddest ass car there is around these parts. the driveability, the e.t., the sound(or lack there of)

but still, can't wait to see what you brew up with this one

[Deggy]

just curious how you could have a notch vert :durr

I know I had a brain fart for a second there. Thanks tho Clint. :goof

[HRSEPLA]

Besides, my notch was a hatchback:)

[Deggy]

I have seen that Mustang in your garage a few times too...Even before I was on BCM I think.

[Reverend Cooper]

wow sam that car looks great! it needs diff wheels tho. jmo. Mr. T says getta blowa sucka

[HITMAN]

Sam, congrats on the new ride. That notch is sweet.

[MurphysLaw88GT]

just curious how you could have a notch vert :durr

meeee tooo lolercopta

[DirtyMax]

The Nasty has come a long ways!

Good luck!

[Syclone0044]

Hey Sam - Nice car, very tasteful! I like that silver/gray color.


Why do you think I should've kept the turbo setup? In your opinion.

I also think you should have kept the turbo setup! But then again I think everyone should have a turbo... :thumbsup (where practical)

It's the best of all worlds, most power potential, best streetability (as long as you run an air filter! :goof) the only drawbacks are the most complexity, most amount of things to tune, things that can go wrong etc..

[TURTLE]

sweet looking project car sam! can't wait to see another clean creation coming out of your garage.

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Plenty of power in a stroked and poked SBF's.
Back to basics, its blowers and turbos galore out there right now.

[HRSEPLA]

Thanks again, guys!
I will miss the Turbo, but I do not miss the headaches. Its easy to say 'keep it' when you don't have to F with it. Most people don't realize what it really takes behind the scenes... I had it for 4 years, and got where I wanted to with it and just ready for a change, my mind is always changing...:)

[Smokey1226]

god damn u Sam. u go through more fox bodys then i know what to do with. jeez when u recycle them throw one my way!

A 5.9 12V would look real good under the hood :headbang:thumbsup

I can agree with that. So I bought the bike. Easiest maintenance ever and it's faster than the car and more enjoyable. Win/Win situation right? :)

car seemed to me to be the ultimate street car. Seemed any night weekend or not that car was out at culvers/oscars And that can't be said for very many 9 second cars. even more so when the car ran on pump gas (if i remember right) plus turbo mustangs are just sick. but then again i don't doubt this will be a badass notch.

[HRSEPLA]

I gotcha, it was cool, but I was just ready for something nicer and just a change again:thumbsup
And it did go 9.90's @135mph on 93 octane:)

[Crawlin]

you lose in the rain:goof


i've ridden in hail... i'm ok :)

[Cryptic]

clean :cool:

Until a soccer mom pulls out in front of you!

[FourEyedFord]

Good luck with the new project Sam! I remember seeing that car in person, its super nice! :thumbsup

I guess I am all by my lonesome now. :(

[nismodave]

I did'nt sell the Convertable


You will never sell that car.;)

The new car looks great.:thumbsup

How many Stangs have you signed your name(s) to the title now?:banana1:

[HRSEPLA]

Sorry Bobby, I'm passing the Turbo torch, and I think you will do it justice!!:headbang
And Dave, I have had over 20 mustangs, and like you said, the Vert always seems to stay and the rest come and go every couple years.

[nismodave]

Never sell the Vert, the HWy would never be the same.

[FANAT1C]

Looks good Sam. Like others, can't wait to see it finished.

Great color! :thumbsup I just picked up a '90 GT vert I think in the same color.

[CPonyGo]

congrats Sam...just last fall I was at Jason's house and he was moping around as to what to do....it has come along way....just sit and think the parts traded between Chris and the blower for the short block...and on...lol

congrats

[twirkin50]

Good luck on the new build Sam!!

Jason went all out on that Mustang and the quality really shows. It will be hard to see that go from a show (magazine) car to a track car, but I have no doubt if anyone can make it happen it will be you and Tina.
