David you must really be keeping your foot out of it to get into the 300s with a majority of freeway driving and some mixed city, i typically get 230-250 a tank.

might be time to freshen the girl up with some plugs, filter cleaning, oil and stuff. i did get to around 450 on my way back from socal once though. hecksa milesageseses

im really interested to see how different a GT feels from a bullitt. ive always been told the power difference is slight be noticable, i want to see if i can feel it

Other I'm really loving the color. Every lighting situation it just looks stunning. It sounds like Arin is coming down Thursday to help me swap over all of the suspension from the 94, so hopefully it won't feel like such a boat.
that sounds like a day of fun

Hey, we wouldn't mind company if you're up for it.

And since you are a Ford tech, do you know if it's possible to install stock c/c plates? Or do they need to be reriveted in place?

You must drive awful Arin. I'm at 280, and at about an 1/8 tank left. So far it has exceeded any mileage goals I had for this car.

Car now has the MGW off the 94. It's kind of sad seeing the other one keep losing cool parts, but at the same time it is so cool to see the blue one getting better.

I've decided on Belle for the name, btw. Someone said that it looked "beautiful and BEAST" so Belle kind of fits.

Congrats on the new ride. Like the color . Transfer the good parts over and start saving up for the TW intake manifold, TB, OHC heads, and some cams!

Belle, I like it! Don't feel bad of taking off the good stuff out of the 94. At least yp ou're not parting it out, and besides it didn't had them when you got it anyway. Just remember to take pics of both cars together to keep it as a great memory of owning two Mustangs

I'll have to take those pictures when Arin comes down, so we can drive them somewhere more interesting than in front of my house.

But for now, I'm off to go take some pictures!
