Brendan, I had a 1965 Mustang coupe. It had a CobraJet 302 that my Dad built and it was fun, fun, fun to drive. Blood red with a nice set of Cragers and BFGs on it. Wish I had never sold it.
Mine had a factory A-code 289 (4-barrel, 225hp, full duals, & t-10 4-speed) and would chirp the tires going in to 3rd...brakes were crap though... LOL

Soon enough I'll be building a replica Cobra with a mid-90's 5.0 drivetrain... ahhh, toys...

Happy early anniversary.



As of yesterday he was still there. When we went and saw him Sunday, he was telling us that one of the nurses told him that morning that he still smelled like liquor. At that point he had been in the hospital for 4 days. He did himself a number thats for sure. I am going to make some calls and get an update and make sure he's doin okay before I take off for Iowa tomorrow.
Four DAYS later and he still smells like booze?
.
November 1989.
I was 32 years old and had just purchased the business three years prior, and working my tail off to get it payed off. Took five years to do that.
I'm definately past the young and dumb stage in my life. Well, at least past the young part. I still do dumb stuff sometimes.

IF he was single, yeah I could see that as a possibility..but he has a wife, and I've seen pictures she's very pretty. No pretty girl hangs out with a guy with a mullet. Seriously.

OT on OT - I miss my truck! I've been driving my sister's drudge durango around for the past few days. I need to do a water pump and it was leaking too much coolant for my comfort level, so I parked the old girl until I have time to do the change next weekend. I never realized how attached to that thing I was...and I went and fueled up yesterday and now the Dodge boys think they have a reason to come talk to me. Oh also, lately it has been a PSD parade everywhere I drive..

Alright, I give up. What the Hell is a mullet? I thought it was a fish. Someone post a picture of a mullet for me please. For some reason I think it has something to do with body hair, but that's as close as I can get.

Mark, visit Brendan's website.

A mullet is the piece of long scraggly gross hair that men sometimes grow out of the back of their heads. Party in the back, business in the front.

To KNOW the mullet, you must first UNDERSTAND the mullet.

PS diggin that photog you looked up the other day , Johnny somethin or other
Work and working on trucks. Jeff's injectors checked out fine, so I had to start digging deeper to see what's wrong with his truck. I figured a compression test was in order, but without any threaded holes in a CR 5.9's head, I was a little lost as to how I'd get that done. Luckily the Dodge tech at the dealership had the tool I needed. It's from Miller and is a machined piece of steel that looks just like an injector but has a hole on one end and a fitting for the compression gauge on the other end. He let me borrow that and his high-pressure Snap-On test gauge. I don't even want to know how much that stuff cost. I just know I needed to get that back to him this morning.

Started working on that last night about 8:00. Finished up around midnight. Found one cylinder that is completely dead...had only 100 psi when we first tested it, I adjusted the valves (exhaust side was way loose), and tested again to find it barely had 20 psi. I'm thinking there's a problem with an exhaust valve on that side, not letting the cylinder hold pressure. Like it dropped a valve seat, or started to drop it, which would throw the lash way out and not let it hold compression.


Oh, and that photographer...yeah, he does some good work. I looked through quite a few of his photos. Johnny Crosslin is the guys name.

A mullett...man, I see them all the time around here. Business in the front, and party in the back. We call it the Missouri Compromise.

Good Morning everyone...

Lessee -- Chris, yes, you can overclock your PC, but it totally depends on the mobo (motherboard) and CPU you have. I custom build my PCs, so I can play with them all I want. I got mine stable at 2.25 GHz now, so I'll be going through some more tinkering to see if I can get it to 2.3, then maybe 2.4 without getting too hot. There are a bunch of parameters you can play with to get the speeds up. I won't bore you all with that. The whole Idea is to get a chip that runs at 2GHz which is much cheaper, at least at the time, than the 2.2 GHz chip I'm basically running now. Of course, nowadays, the chips I'm playing with cost about $30. Basically, it's just a cheap way to upgrade my older PC...

In 1989, I was finishing up my training right after I went on Active Duty and made my first trip overseas to Italy. I was still 18 at the time, and turned 19 two months after getting there. Oh, the good ol' days....

Before I went in, I had a mullet, too -- it was like the "Camaro Mullet". Don't worry, I'm sure in 20 years, you younger guys will remember "Caesars" as "cool", and there will be a website about those too...

EDIT: And yes, I even had the "peach fuzzy" stache & acid wash jeans too.

Thanx everyone. I always thought those were just dummies that did not know what a barbershop was. God, I get smarter everyday.
