Sorry this is turning into a car thread, but you asked for it!!! 

What are the specs on that 89 Mustang?  Mine won't be a trailer queen...just a cruiser for the weekends once I start/finish it.

Welcome aboard!  Dave thanks for putting our name out there.  Jacks isn't always great but it's one of the locals for us so we sometimes stroll through there.  It's nice to know they might send some people our way!

Wow I never expected to talk about cars so much on a reef forum

The Mustang is a coupe, its a Tangerine color with gold pearl over it.

the engine is the one out of my other Maverick,

347 13:1 compression
Victor Sr. Aluminum heads 2.09/1.6 valves
Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers
Custom ground solid roller cam with over .700 lift
Super Victor intake and a 850 Pro Systems Carb
It also has a Eagle rotating assembly with Probe pistions
Moroso aluminum oil pan
Mezier electric water pump
Hooker 1 3/4 headers
C-4 trans with a 4500 stall and trans brake
The 8.8 has a Moser spool with 4.11's and Moser axles
Weld Draglites 15x3 and 15x10 wrapped with Mickey Thompson 28x12.5 slicks
This car has been on the chassis dyno and made 589 rwhp.
All of this built by me (I guess I go a little overboard sometimes)

<---drooling!!

I've noticed a few things about this hobby.  There are a lot of engineers and doctors in the hobby, it's male dominant, and many are interested in classic cars/racing, wine, and orchids.  Go figure.  LOL.  Maybe I just notice those because I'm two out of those three.

Well I'm not and engineer or a doctor, but I am a male with a love of racing and tequila.
