    I think cars have a natural sence of jelously, there I am working on my 1974 comet gt putting motor and tranny in trying to get that car done soon. and I guess because I was paying too much attention to the 74 my 66 cyclone COMET decided it want to have some attention too the starter died (OH Yea I love big blocks in small spaces with headers) oh well the pains and joys of owning classics autos.

    For those of out there that more than one classic car try to spend equal time with them, because one day you may have to use the other car and something will probably go wrong (just keep them in good running condition ) to advoid similar problems.

    this past week my bu!ck reg@l has been spending the nights parked between my ford and merc and not driven, for some reason it decided to spring a pretty big oil leak from its pressure sensor :( few months back my maverick's starter died when it was spending the days parked btween my cutl@ss and Reg@l. Im definatly not one who encourages brand rivaly between american cars, but i guess they dont feel the same way ?????

    I had a 66 cyclone gt back in 78. Loved that car,,, was way fast. Traded it on a 76 cobra 302 4 speed. Sold it to get married in 1980. Wish I had them both back now, specially the cyclone. You got pics of the cyclone I would like to see. I spent the day bending back the frame on a 94 crown vic that people said I couldnt fix. hehe,,,,,I love a challenge.
