wezol Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 So guess my thread got closed or deleted...oh well. Here's a new one. Since we really answered my original question, let's do it different. The official classic car/truck thread, or hell, anything car wise goes. And to keep it within the guidelines of the dating forum, I'll keep this particular thread updated with my date Friday. I posted some pics in my last post on the other thread, but since I'm on an iPhone right now, I'll retry it agian tomorrow. In the mean time, post away. Give specs!
Author wezol Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Here's my truck, it's not the prettiest, but it's paid for. It doesn't just sit there either, I work it, and work it hard Here's the F250, it got rolled though soon after the divorce. Post away, tell stories, do whatever! I'll update tomorrow night or Saturday morning on the date.
carhill Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Here's a group shot from our last cruise. Note the 'escort' (CHP cruiser) at the far end. Here's a closeup, juxtaposing my very early 64.5 with a brand new model Mustang Though not yet a 'classic', here's a shot of my 'vintage' tow rig, with camper, near Truckee, CA a couple years ago. That's a mid-80's F250 diesel. My exW and I saw a lot of the west in that rig.
Author wezol Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Beautiful cars. I can tell you're a ford guy Dunno if you've checked it out already, but ford-trucks.com/forums is a great forum for anything ford truck and all ford motors. You should look into it, and you'd fit right in. A VERY active site with many master techs lurking around.
madjac74 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I dont get it! Do you want to date the ****ing truck or the girl?!
Author wezol Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 I dont get it! Do you want to date the ****ing truck or the girl?! Haha, well I started a previous thread on whether to drive my crappy Focus, or to take her out in my old truck. The unanimous decision was to take her out in the truck. Then the topic got steered into just cars and trucks in general, and the thread was closed due to some bickering between myself and another member. So I started a new thread.
carhill Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Here's an album of pix chronicling a bit of the history of one of my life-long passions, racing Mustangs. After being a race car for 38 years, I recently sold it to a shop customer and he's making it back into a street car for his wife. ford-trucks.com/forums is a great forum for anything ford truck and all ford motors. You should look into it, and you'd fit right in. I've been a member there for a bit over nine years but don't post that much. I'm a 'master tech' on a couple of Mustang and Ford racing forums, since those areas are my expertise, though I work on anything.

I've been a member there for a bit over nine years but don't post that much. I'm a 'master tech' on a couple of Mustang and Ford racing forums, since those areas are my expertise, though I work on anything. It's because of that site and their knowledge, that I know as much as I do. And when I said master tech, I meant Ford master tech's, that either retired or currently work for Ford. Although I know there are mater techs that specialize in race applications, as you so obviously do with your badass mustang. Did you run a hot rod shop? Have a good buddy that owns a hot rod shop in TX, called Xtreme Horsepower. They specialize mainly in fuel injected motors, and newer cars, but all American muscle. I've lurked around one of the mustang forums a little bit. That's am amazing car...what did it run? What were you running in it?
carhill Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 The race car had many engines in it over the years, from 289's to the 351W when it was sold. The latest engine was the most mild, producing 450-475hp but was very reliable. I think the new owner is going to use that in a racing application and put a late model 5.0L with EFI and AOD (overdrive) trans. The best the car ever ran consistently in my ownership was 11-teens at 121mph. The previous owner ran high 10's @ 122. Those numbers were all with iron headed 289's back in the 70's and 80's. The 351W ran consistent 11.40's @ 118. I always ran a C4 (3 speed auto) and 8" or 10" converters depending on engine. I found some old in-car video from back in the early 90's and am processing it and should have a couple clips up this weekend. Unfortunately, I raced alone for most of my career and didn't have people take pictures of me. The videos are about the only thing I have of me in the car, other than what a few professional photogs shot. If you're a west coast guy, the Mustang forum that's watermarked in one of my 64.5 pix is the place to be. If east coast/midwest, VMF. For fun, here's from my recent trip back to Maryland for a private VMF get-together, something we call the Mini-Feed
Author wezol Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 I'll check those sites out, thanks. Is your car in any of those vids on youtube? What was the deal with the guy who tried to follow up on that good burnout....by...not doing it?
carhill Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 My car was 2800 miles away in California. We did have my friend's Caddy and did do a front wheel burnout when we left later that night Everyone who was there gave it a go, even the guy who brought his Cobra. Some did better than others. It was about having fun. To give you an idea, the guy who did the burnout in the video I linked, who also sponsored the party, did the same in two of his other Mustangs.
AHardDaysNight Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I dont get it! Do you want to date the ****ing truck or the girl?! He's a car guy. I am an arts guy. Some people are sports guys. There's nothing wrong with being into cars, just as long as you don't go overboard, lol.

Wasn't trying to knock on him. Car sounded like it had enough power to be able to stand on it, so didn't know if he broke something in the process. Cobra kit car?
Nexus One Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Haha, I like that you posted a picture of the engine...on a love forum. Only a guy would that.
Author wezol Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Haha, I like that you posted a picture of the engine...on a love forum. Only a guy would that. Well, I do "love" that motor. And the time I spent on it pissed off the ex wife and we fought over the money spent, even though it was an unexpected bonus from work, but somehow it was okay for her to pull out money from our savings to buy a horse....money was no problem when it came to her hobby, but mine? Noooo buddy. There, now it fits into the love forum
Sanman Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Carhill, Beautiful 'stangs! I love the black '64.5. Is it an I-6?
carhill Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Cobra kit car? Yes, kit car. He's running a 408cid Windsor stroker and Tremac. Wicked fast. I love the black '64.5. Is it an I-6?If you're asking about my 64.5, (it's midnight blue; looks black sometimes), it's a D-coder, meaning 4bbl 289 (V8), born 4/18/64.

Hmm, I thought the wheels on your car were restricted to the I-6 cars and the styled steel wheels went on the 289 cars.
carhill Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Most people have changed their wheels or the cars were ordered with an optional wheel package. Mine is the base wheel cover which is seen on many early Dearborn cars, though I've seen very few without a spinner in the 14" size. It's unknown if the wheel/tire/cap combo is original to the car (I don't have the build sheet), but it is the optional 14" 5 lug wheel. The 64.5 base models came with a 13" wheel. Oh, from our wall of shame, leaving the hard way, backwards, since he didn't want to do a burnout. Also included is a good view of a Cobra replica.
D-Lish Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I feel left out. I liked the other thread. Now I am just a girl with a fuel efficient Kia and nothing to relate to.

Author wezol Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) I feel left out. I liked the other thread. Now I am just a girl with a fuel efficient Kia and nothing to relate to. Send it off to carhill, let him cram a small block in it This thread is open to stories, pictures, whatever, and I'm sure you have plenty of stories. Don't feel sad D-Lish, I'll let you drive my new BMW after we get married. No, apparently her and I are in a relationship, and although it's very open, marriage wasn't something we discussed Edited September 2, 2011 by wezol
