MMMMM tasty. So, no plug spitting this year?
I hate to admit, after having my mom's 2000 GT Mustang with a 4.6 and 5 speed...I almost want to put the old 351C on a stand, and find a mod motor, Ford racing PCM, and a T56...Andrew

Planing to maybe have a trailer with me this year...packing in the fiero sucks. New hidden hitch behind plate is installed, just need to do the mods to the bumper cover, and get the trailer.
anyone have experience with the Tag-a-long trailer from Harbor Freight?
Hey at least i will have room for some beer that wont get warm sitting next to the engine all day!Long Hauler 2009, 10, 11, 12, 15 3 of 7 in 2013 5 of 8 in 2014 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT

Will equip the Banana Boat with Fast EFI. I believe I'll get a lot better gas mileage and that along with the rebuilt suspension and disc brakes, which were added last year, the car should be a great ride, especially with the TOP DOWNLong Haul Gang 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17,19

If interested in photos, PM me your email address. You can see it behind our convertible in the avatar.

The '63 Catalina is now Plan A and is waiting patiently in line for my mechanic to take it in and make it all better since all i'm doing is making it worse. However I have been working on Plan B the '13 Challenger and it's makeover from the '13 tour. Changed out the wheel and tire package, removed the stripes, painted the rear spoiler and now just waiting on the carbon fiber vinyl to wrap the hood and then it will get dropped a little. Hopefully the Catalina is something stupid cause if it gets to be too much then it will not make it.Visit my sons blog:

I picked up a set of late model GTO seats for my ride (88 Monte SS). Cool part is these seats are covered to match my interior and already have the custom made mounts to bolt in. My aching back can't wait now! Also on the list is to get the driveline balanced and send the intake manifold out for some machine work so it seals against the heads better.GM G-bodies, because I can't afford a 69 Camaro.

I was given a canopy by my Dad, so we'll have one with us on tour. The torino is a *bit* bigger than your Fiero {Damn autocorrect doesn't like your car's name}.
I am registering right now for PT2015!
