I have owned a Mustang since I was 19 and that was over 22 years ago now. I had always brought my car to the mechanic to have it either serviced or modified in any way.

Well I bought a 05 Mustang GT three years ago as I got back into the Mustang scene. I never really thought about working on my own car until I signed up for this forum and learned about Taco Bill's DIY write ups. Since then I have pretty well done everything on my car myself with the help of his write ups of course. It has also empowered me to look into working on my other cars (Ford Escape Hybrid, VW Jetta GLI). It has been challenging but a rewarding experience to do some of the jobs/modifications since I never ever worked on cars until only 3 years ago.

Anyways my wife and I were planning a road trip from Canada to California. So along the way I told my wife I need to meet Taco Bill! So I PM'd him and we met up, had a coffee and talked Mustangs! What a swell guy he is and he even took me for a rip in his car!

Here are some pictures that the paparazzi took while we were down there. Thanks for all your help Bill! It was a pleasure meeting you in person!

 

Cool!

 

5pointoh you met a living legend!

Taco Bill is simply the greatest.

Thank you Taco Bill for all the great writeups!

 

Good stuff hang ten dude

 

"The one and only" - I hear Bill's head getting bigger now! haha

Cool trip though, that's some beautiful scenery along the way!

 

Yes, I definitely miss the nice consistent sunny weather that California has to offer that's for sure.

 

What the heck happened to him? I haven't seen a post by him in a long time, I use to come to this forum just to read his HOWTOs videos and write ups.

 

That's cool!

Yeah, I miss a bunch of the guys that used to regularly post


Oh, and you can see TB's Mustang here!

 

When I saw him he is alive and well. According to Stangmahn, maybe his head is swelling a bit

It was an awesome trip for me and I am glad I was able to meet up with TacoBill along the way.

 

Haha, very funny guys.

It was a pleasure meeting you too Peter. I know you have a few more mods to do on your Mustang, and I'm sure your installations will go just fine.

I drop in on POTR once in a while, not too much to post since giving the Mustang to my son.

Glad to see the 'How To's' are still coming in handy.

 

gave your mustang to your son Bill? Is he old enough to drive it yet? Soooooo what are you driving insyead of the stang?

 

Yes, one of the last few post I remember is his son getting his lisence and driving his car with a big ole smile.

 

Thanks I needed that...the last time I saw a photo of your son helping you work on the car, he was just a little guy! Well, I have to go and oil the wheels on my walker....

 

HHHMMM....maybe that might explain why he is on his 2nd clutch? Someone is having too much fun with the car.

I think the best picture of his son working on the car with him is the one that showed the looked on Chris' face when they were going to cut out a hole for the shaker hood. That was priceless.

 

LoL, that was hilarious, but I bet there's been a lot of people who tried this mod, and we're like,..... OHHH Crap, here we go!!!! LoL

 

Yeah the thought of cutting a hole in the hood sounds scary. But after reading up on it and looking over TacoBill's write ups, I feel more confident about it though I am sure when the time comes I will be crapping my pants

My plans are to install a Saleen Supershaker, hopefully there will be a good sale on them in the off season.

 

Lucky you got to meet the legend himself. Definitely inspirational.
