You're making serious headway on Frankie Foxenstein, Whitey. Are you going to do some wire tucking on this one? Seems to me it would be a no-brainer with everything stripped like that. Is the oil cooler/filter relocation talk in relation to the '88 as well? I don;t think I've ever seen it done on a Mustang.

"Dark Matter:"

"The Expanse" is another very well-done Sci-Fi series (maybe better than "Dark Matter."). It's currently on Amazon Prime video - https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B018BZ3SCM

And 1000 points to White for the "Colombo" reference.

Completely forgot about Expanse....another good one.

There's also "Serenity" . You have to look for "Serenity Sci-Fi" since there is another movie by that name which isn't Sci-Fi. It's not as good as the others IMO, but close!

It's too bad MGM or other won't pick up the "Stargate" franchise. What they could do with that series today.

I think they could do something with Lost in Space and make Dr. Smith the real bastard he should have been instead of the weasel they made him. That was something that was good about Torchwood. Those characters had some intense dark side to them.

Unless there's something I don't know about, I think you mean the series, "Firefly," River. (Followed by the movie, "Serenity."

Don't feel bad River, I had those two confused as well lol.

Anybody recall Farscape ? An older one, it was pretty good as well.

I had actually forgotten about Firefly until. I watched the Serenity trailer and thought, "This looks oddly familiar."

Yep, yep. yep. you're right. The series was Firefly and the movie was Serenity. It was even written and directed by Josh Whedon. There's a program on Elray called the "Directors Chair," where this guy interviews directors and Whedon was on it. During that interview he said he came up with Firefly from a book he read about the Battle of Gettysburg. That was a surprise.

I don't think I'll wire tuck this one... but the 89 I will. My Buddy did hit 92 GT, and it looks awesome. I am also wondering about just using Speed Density. It seems like the E303 is mile enough that some guys have had success. The filter relocation id for the F150... I've never needed a tetanus shot after changing the oil on my Mustang, LOL.

Colombo is an all time fav of mine. I've been slowly going back through them.

By T5, I am referring to the transmission, which Borg Warner (now Tremec) named. It also came in Camaro's of the same era, some S10's, and a few other vehicles. Their are a couple of different versions... the V8 Mustang's got the World Class variety.

EDIT: Wow.... it came in more than I thought it did, LOL.
