Well there is an ass for every seat and a girl for every guy, Different strokes for different folks.

I confident that if Brycen built his dream 69 mustang he would want to cut that up just as much as we have a 69 Camaro. I mean heck, brycen took a mustang bumper and build a new center on the pullmax and hung it on that crazy 69 Camaro we are building and it looks good doing it.

One of the things I always "counsel" friends about when we go to a "car show" together is that every one of these cars represents what the OWNER wants.... and that it doesn't matter what "they" (my friend) think. I tell them -- "when it's your car - you can do whatever you want to it"... until then, just shut the " " up...

And YES I really do have that conversation every time.


:rofl:


Everybody's wallet is different - tastes - memories - desires... I say -- build or buy whatever turns your crank... and as long as you're a car guy and care about the hobby. We're all good.

Now.... about those plug wires wrapped around the shock tower there... You mind shortening them up a bit? Oh and that nasty group of wires ganged onto the battery terminal there... Yeah that's gotta go... and where the hell did you get those Radir wheels? :woot:

I totally agree, I was just pokin fun.:cheers:
It'd be damn boring if we all liked the same cars , or football teams or.... Most of the fun comes from having a spirited discussion about whats "BEST".

I had a friend bring his Mustang into my toy shop recently to use the hoist to put some track pads in. He told me he was surprised that I let a Ford into my shop. I told him Fords were welcome to come in "they just couldn't stay overnite":lol:

BTW I think 69 Mustangs are gorgeous cars. But I'll deny ever saying it!! ooops it's in print:_paranoid

At least it had plug wires... that's better than some of the 1:1 scale models on display... :)

Ford still has the best looking retro styled new muscle! and that new 5.0!.... wow!:woot:

Brycen, I completely agree. The Mustang wins the styling, yet I heard the Camaro out sold the Mustang for the first time in 20 some years? The customers wallets over-rule free opinions every time. ;)

Giving credit where credit is due - yes the Camaro did outsell the Mustang...not by very much though. Here's the big "but"...BUT don't forget that this restyled retro Mustang had already been around for 5 years before the Camaro was raised back to life from extinction. And the 2010/2011 Mustang styling is just a refresh on the 05-06 bodystyle. Not really new news? Based off of what i read here about how much die hard Camaro fans aren't too fond of the new Camaro styling. Plus with the beating the new 5.0 Mustang is putting down on the portly Camaro SS it won't be long before the Mustang sales scales tip the other direction. 50th anniversary for the Mustang is looming on the horizon along with an all new Mustang for 2014 with IRS, no more retro styling and it will be sold as global car. Gonna be really ineteresting to see how the next couple years pan out in the pony car wars! I did I leave the Chally out? Probably because it won't be around. The Challenger is cool, yeah yeah Hemi, nice styling but not competitive in bang for buck. Slowest, and heaviest....
