A friend of mine has super clean stuff and is tired of being worried about it, so he's building a rough around the edges '67 Bel Air with a leftover BBC and will beat it like a rented mule! There are times when I'm worried about where I'm parking, did I clean it good enough...that this sounds...

This was a badass G-body a guy was building on here...not sure what happened to it? I bought a 1 of 1 car, be jealous

Was this a special order that someone backed out on and you picked up? I thought Green Bordered window stickers indicated a customer special order? What do you think of the Recaro's? I hate them in my wife's Focus RS...and I'm not a big guy.

I'll definitely watch it! Probably a good thing Hugh did it now...at 55, I imagine the ability to achieve the Wolverine bod is fast coming to a close.

Thread title reminded me of this vintage SNL skit...

True! Hell it even states right in the ad "You get 290 hp at 6000 easy revs. And it can be tuned for more."

Buddy lent me a stack of vintage Hot Rod mags and I thought this '69 Boss 302 ad was pretty cool. What they used to advertise...valve size, optional gear ratios...now its "how big is the screen" or "automatic butt wiper" I like my late model stuff, but this is just neat to see what guys were...

Nope, the BBR guy is the previous owner of the truck, but he does have a BBF fox body. I think the previous owner is friends with the current owner.

Too funny!! I watched this truck get built from a stock abandoned CL find...to much of how it looks now on the BangShift forums. 1973 F-250 - Turbo BBF - It's off to a new home! - The BangShift.com Forums He sold it and looks like the new owner has continued the build, looks...

I'll be curious to hear you opinion of tracking a traditional manual trans car and now moving to DCT. Love that color combo!

Well at least for GM's...OBS came about during the early 2000's when forums were just starting. We used NBS (new body style) to refer to the current 99-06 trucks, OBS (old body style) for 88-98 trucks and OOBS for square bodys. This worked fine for a while... (eventually there was NNBS for the...

Yep, I hear you. I can't see where a conversion to ICE over electric makes sense, especially on a nice older truck, but I do find the concept interesting. I like the thoughts of: • 100% torque instantaneously • Overall efficiency increases • minimal driveline components/wear/service The issue...

I am definitely curious about a fuel over electric concept like the Ramcharger vs. straight EV. But, I'm not convinced that the efficiency improvement is good enough to warrant the effort. The old Chevy volt used this idea, but I don't believe it was VASTLY more efficient than current ICE...

There is a rumor of a variant of this engine in a "TRX" but I assume it would have a significant power increase over the HO 3.0 available in other top trim trucks. This test mule started the rumor. You can hear it at the 27 second mark. Sounds a little Supra'ish....?

I was looking for exhaust sound vids and ran across this CrAzY dyno test rig for the new 3.0. Maybe this is old news, but I hadn't seen a torture test on a dyno that tilts at all angles while running the piss outa the engine.

I'm excited about the power increase, but as expected, the sound will be disappointing... It will be interesting see what the "improved mpg" is. Fords ecoboost motors claimed the same thing 13 years ago...but the mpg improvement wasn't very dramatic, although probably good enough to move the...

I hear ya! I'm using Fluid Film now, but used Krown for years previously. And as careful as I am...I always find a spot I missed and things get crusty quick. Kind of funny...it seems a lot of the Cybertruck bitching is overly observant owners finally noticing "rail dust", which has been on all...

Had to chuckle a little over this...guys have been bitching for years about the unpainted rear axles in their $85K trucks turning to a rusty mess instantaneously in the rust belt. The cybertruck is no different. Cars are disposable around here....

I like a lot of Fords smaller offerings...and this may be stupid...but I just can't get over how Fords current small displacement engines sound. I can't go WOT all the time, so the engine soundtrack is a good portion of my driving enjoyment. I suppose if they included a really good selectable...

You know which version you're going to go after? I assume in FL, no real reason for AWD, and you've got the truck so no need for the tow package. The hybrid gets good milage...not sure if its worth the extra complexity though.

Very cool!! Must be you like it so far, or you wouldn't be putting any effort into it! The stance is spot on and I don't think too low. I wonder if they do a ST version, if it will have the same altitude

This song came out when I was 30 and I thought it was funny as hell!! Now that I'm 49......I realize its the truth! RIP Toby...

That would be SWEET!!! But...only if you can keep the manual trans...(I doubt it would hold V8 power...? Although, there are guys running stout LS combo's in front of NV3500's and they survive unless you get really dumb with them)

A buddy of mine gave me a stack of vintage Hot Rods to read. Check out this ad for a '68 Suzuki X5 Invader, 23 hp, 16 second 1/4, 90mph top speed. That must have been a hoot for a little around town buzz bomb!

I hear ya! We get a good pretzel roll, wifey has a secret seasoning for the beef, cheddar cheese, mashed avocado, fried egg, fried onion crisps & brown sugar bourbon BBQ sauce. Delicious! Damn, came in here looking for trucks and went away hungry!! Lol...
