I was just going to ask how you knew Bart, then I saw that you lived in south florida. Where in florida and how long ago?

I met bart back when he was with UPR in their delray shop. they did all the work, well, he did all the work on my fox body and joe took all my money. lol

I get to see bart about once a yr at an event. really great guy and cool to just shoot the sh!t with. he really helped me out a lot when I first got into mustangs and modding. I remember late nights at his house tearing apart one of my motors that lost oil pressure and dropping his 306 in my car. I owe him for giving me this addiction...he just doesn't like taking the blame. lol

Great Pictures Kevin.

Your friends Fox looks great with the 17" pony reps! Is the green 97 cobra from the Tampa area? I think I remember seeing it here at BMP and it ran very low 10's.

Funny thing is that Bart waaay back in the day worked at Super Stang --------> Now known as UPR, and worked on my car as well as many of my buddies back in the day.

LOL, Joe was the recipient of a lot of my money as well! Did you know them when they had the little shop in Delray "Super Stang"?

I think I remember Joe puting headers on my fox in a rediculously short amount of time.

Good meeting you as well Rob. You have a sweet Vert for sure!!!! :rockon: Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet up with David.

I lived in South Florida for 20 years. In WPB. I remember meeting Bart when Joe was running 13.8 in his white LX. LOL.... Before Super Stang.

Joe did some work on my 88 GT as well, but it caught fire 5 minutes from the shop in the middle of Tropical Storm Jerry! Needless to say I did all my work from then on. But Bart was always there to help me along the way with whatever I had to ask. His experience and knowledge has proved priceless for me over the years. I have been to his house in Boca a few times as well. LOL...

04sleeper,

The new GT500 looks great in that blue... ! :beer:
It did look good in person. :thumbsup:

LOL... Yep. I was around in those times as well with my Candy Apple Red 88 GT. Bart is The Man for sure!

The Green 97 is from the Palm Beach area, but I am pretty sure he has gone to BMP before. It goes 9's @ over 151 MPH on 275-40-17 Nitto's!

I remember Joe ordering the WRONG set of headers for my GT and he blamed it on the Canton oil pan as to why they would not fit. So he hit them with a sledge hammer until they fit. :fm::cuss: He put a road race pan with "kick outs" on instead of a deep sump. Part of the reason why my car caught fire! Bart was the only one I trusted to work on my car after that. I do remember the "Super Stang" days.

no, I didn't know them in the super stang days. they were already UPR and Joe really wasn't working on cars anymore, just tuning. Mark and Bart were the ones working on the cars and then they started making their own parts and eventually Bart opened his own shop and UPR pretty much just did the parts thing.

wow, what a small world. I wouldn't doubt some of use may have even met up at UPR.

LOL, sounds like Joe! I remember him hurting his hand on my car and then launching a socket across the shop and putting a hole in the drywall above the door! I had a Black 93' Cobra back then, my dad a Teal 93' Cobra with a Vortech.

I will say they were less expensive but the workmanship/quality was sometimes questionable. Crawford Performance did all of my engine work on my Balck 93', and I had Mitch from Crawford Performance do a lot of my work second Red 93' Cobra.

Yeah, once they moved to the new shop "Unlimited Performance" Joe's laboring seemed to slow and especially once they got their dyno. You may remember a Red 65' that was at their shop forever, it was receiving a 5.0 EFI and AOD?? That was my buddies that took forever to build.

Anyway, yep small world.

It has a 331 Kuntz & Co motor, Custom Turbo kit, 4R70W tranny. What else do you want to know? It is a sweet car.

I didn't do any PS work on these pics except for resizing them.
