After my oldest gave me some hell about the 89 being so dirty, I did this to it yesterday. I was quite surprised at how well it worked.


That little red 85 Scooby Doo GL used to pound on my Buddy's 86 Mustang with a 2.3 liter. LOL.... (long story short) that Suby turned out to be why I got into Fox's though. This pic was in April-May of 1994.

I just liked the sales chick who sold it to me. She was very polite.

Ford truck guy 100%.

Anyway, first gen Bronc would be my choice for a build.

This because of too-tall-tires? Not v safe on city hwy.

I'm not sure exactly.... something like that. They measure to the ground from the lowest part of the frame. That was underneath the drivers seat....was 22.5" with 40's, illegal with 44's. Over 2'.

Ohio is right about being natural. Lake Denio in NV, Lake Tahoe, you could see to the bottom. Colorado is a beautiful, rustic, boney state. Get too many there, crowdedness, dirt of all sorts, will get imported. It will go to heck. Minimalism is where we need to put our life and lives.

Mine had Challenger wheels (1-inch larger), rear window louvers, and tinted windows. I did some head work on it, replaced the carb, and installed JC Whitney headers and a "Monza" exhaust. Had an "H. O." sticker made in the same font as the "2.6L" badge on the back, too. That put it over the top!

I really dunno that to which y'all refer. Our communicate seem to have that certain, something. Looks normal on my end. Anyone else see a glitch?
