No but it was an 89 Toyota that was absolutely indestructable. It was red that had faded to a nice, manly pink. I called it Booger Red.

Here's my first truck, got it when I was 17 and made it a hot rod with a daily driven 7 mpg 383/700R4. Now it's back to truck duty with a crate 350/TH350, a lot of work to end up pretty close to where I started.

I don't think they had digital cameras in the early 80's

My first truck I got when I was 15, I am 29 now. The top pictures were when I got the truck at 15. The bottom set is when i turned 16. I did ALL the work my self and have the pictures and reciepts even to prove it. It was bought for me for $1200 and I sold it for $4000.


At 17 i bought the Mustang in my sig for $750, damn thing did not even roll, I had to drag it on the trailer. The Top set is from the day I brought it home. The lower set is when i turn 18. Once again I did all the work myself except the final paint unlike the truck.

Notice is other two mustangs in the drive way, thosse are my brothers and sisters. We are a big happy family of mustangs..... The mustang is once again torn down and I am rebuilding it again. I kinda tore it up in college. Anyways since I found this site and learned about LSX type of motors, that is what I am thinking about putting back in the mustang. A Ford powered by a chevy.
