Cool to see you back, How did the passenger side come out? Got anymore pictures or is your website back up?

**swervin ervin** · 02-12-2006, 05:59 PM

the passanger side is all great now

no more embarassing body damage

oh, and the mustang is SO much of a nicer daily driver. it wasnt till i was driving it that i found out just how much more the truck needs(suspension and brakes) i drove the truck around some friday and saturday and let me tell you, the front end needs rebuilt on that thing like no other, its awful

bigarmzz · 02-12-2006, 10:09 PM

what do i think of your truck?...

i think it's totally freakin sweeeet dude!

love the grille, and the rims

how much ya selling her for?

**N2TRUX** · 02-12-2006, 10:27 PM

Sup Eric. Glad to see your still hanging around. Man you gotta give that sweet truck some love there buddy. I can see an inch of dust on her. That just ain't right...

Lynx · 02-12-2006, 11:01 PM

Good to see you back, and your truck is looking as great as it ever did! I have always loved your truck so its good to see you still go her.

MylilBowTie · 02-12-2006, 11:24 PM

I seen a pretty sweet mod that would go perfect with your truck. Shave those bumper bolts then get it re dipped. That's what I would do and at first it wouldn't be that noticeable but more of a blended in look. I saw it on a rerun of Trucks but your truck has the look for it.

ocbaud · 02-13-2006, 12:14 AM

yes, it was FILTHY when i took those pics

i'm living in edmond at an apartment so the truck stays in okc at my parents place. my dad drives it every now and then, its maybe seen 400 miles in the past 5 months.

i think on the weekend i'll start going over there and working on it some more. cant spend much money on her though, since we've got a baby boy coming at the end of april

79BIG10 · 02-13-2006, 12:56 AM

Congrats Eric on the baby!! Heck too much has happened and you need to fill us all in

are you gonna take it to noble and run it this year, if so, post it or pm me, and i will try to watch you run it

Slonaker · 02-13-2006, 01:34 PM

Eric: What did you use for a temperature sending unit when you switched engines? Did you have to swap it for a different, larger diameter one to fit your new heads? See my post regarding my problems:

Slonaker

thats one of the main things wrong with my truck

the stock temp gauge sometimes pegs out and says its over heating, when its really not. my electric fans come on at 200 and when the temp gauge says 260 they arent on, then it moves back down slowly to normal temp(180) then later on the fans come on around 200 on the guage.

i'm gonna pick up an autometer sending unit for the ultra lite gauge i've got to see if that will work correctly
