Hey everyone, I was refered to this board by a friend and here I am. Im only a camaro/corvette enthusiast. I do actually have a 68, but it was destroyed by a bad very body shop so its final destiny is probably rotting away to nothing. (Good Advice tip of the day: Al's Custom Paint in Ypsilanti, Michigan are HACKS).

None the less, Im a Ford employee, I drive Ford Cars to work, but my toys all have a Bow Tie on em! Ive got a 65 GTO with a BBC and muncie 4 speed. I live in Detroit area, and go to every swap meet,car show or cruise I can get my Mustang to.

See ya round town

 

welcome dale. too bad about your camaro. that sucks. but the GTO sounds cool. I live in dearborn heights also. maybe we can hang at Mcds on tele sometime this summer. you race that gto at all?

Welcome, Dale! I think you'll really like it here, the people are warm and friendly (if a little kooky sometimes, like I am ) and have lots of good advice.

 

Yeah I'm from Dearborn Heights too. That sucks about your car, but GTOs are awesome cars. Welcome to the board...its a great place here.

 

Thanks for the Welcome, That would be great. I live about 5 minutes from the 50's McD's and about 2 seconds from Telegraph.

The GTO is currently completely disassembled. Its been a frame off resto/mod so its taking a little while longer then Id hoped. About 2 years longer, lol. Its sitting in the garage with no front clip, no interior except the 6 pt roll bar. Right now Ive got about 3 projects goin on it. I discovered the block had a minor crack in it, (But still a crack) that I had to have welded. So the motor is on the stand waiting to be reassembled. I got a Moser 9" rear end for it which Im working on piecing together, and Im slowly working on getting the Dash and other pieces inside the car painted so I can put the interior back in it.

Wont be on the road this year, at least I dont think it will anyways. So Look for me in a Performance Red Mustang GT convert, Im at 50's mcds pretty much every friday and saturday that Im not at milan.

see ya this summer!

 

Thanks for the welcome, Dearborn Heights seems to be the place to live. Ill have to invite everyone over this summer for a pool party/cookout/telegraph cruise. I live near Ford/Telegraph area.

 

I live by Joy and Telegraph but me and my buddies usually cruise down that way on weekends. If you see a silver 96 Z28 w/ t-tops accompanied by a sonic blue 03 Mustang GT vert, 02 red Z28, black 93 Mustang GT, silver 01 GT, maroon 89 GT, and possibly an 03 Cobra or anyone of those thats me. All the newer cars belong to Divine Child kids of course. Ahh to be rich.

Hey, another Dearborn Heights guy! Yeah, the 50's McDonalds is a cool place to hang out. Telegraph road has been making me mad lately, with all of it's pot-holes, especially near Michigan Avenue. Oh well, I'll probably see you out there this summer.

 

welcome!

i have to agree with the ypsi comment. not a whole lot of good seems to come out of there anymore.

enjoy the boards, there are a great group of people here.

Hey, welcome. I'm quite new myself, and everyone has made me feel quite at home.

Didn't Pontiac do a concept of a new GTO recently?

Oh well, the older ones are the good ones anyway!

 

Welcome! I too do not live far from Mcd's on Telegraph. Hope to have the Formula out soon when this stupid weather breaks. I hope to see you neighborhood guys around. I will be in a Ferrari Red 89' with Chrome wheels.

 

Welcome aboard bud.

 

Thanks again for the Welcome, cant wait to see everyones cars out at 50's McDonalds and the track.

There is a new GTO coming out next year, My understanding is they start production this september. Cant wait til the dealerships around here get them, I want to test drive one. The old goat might get replaced!


See ya around,
