Currently I have 2 projects as well as 2 daily drivers for my wife and I:

    87 Mustang LX-     I bought my first Mustang in August of 1997 after being hit by a woman while driving my 69 VW Type 3 Fastback.  I paid $4000 for the car and it had 112,000 miles.  It was a 5 speed with 3.08 gear and bone stock went 9.70 in the 1/8th.  I then put an SVO rear end with 5 lug disc brakes and 3.73 in the car as well as Southside Lift Bars, K&N panel filter, MAC equal length shorties, off road H-pipe, and Flowmaster 2 chambers in the car and went to the track, where it went 8.89 @ 81.4 MPH.  The cars only trip to the 1/4 mile netted a 13.92 @ 97 MPH.***UPDATE***  I have just recently found out that the car also has a Hypertech chip in it as well.  I didn't know this until we were pulling the computer and harness out to make way for the Electromotive TECII.  I'm going to put the 2.3 turbo in this car while I work on a trick chassis for the Capri.   

    86 Capri- (Code Name: Enough)  I bought this car in 1998 after seeing it on the side of the road for a few months.  I stopped and talked to the guy, it was a v-6 car they were trying to convert to v-8 but had given up on.  I gave him my number and asked him to call, expecting that to be a nice way to end the conversation but never actually getting a call.  3 months later he calls out of the blue and says for $200 I can have it.  It doesn't have a motor or tranny and only has a 7.5 inch rear, but I have better stuff laying around anyway, What the car did have was a fresh black interior, title and T-tops : )  My plans for this car are to make it a fun and fast street race/drag race car.   I have a 2.3 turbo motor, T-64 turbo, C-4, and several rear ends to choose from.   I will run Electromotive TEC-II and 58 lb injectors.  I hope to get into the 10's with this combo using the ELT theory, if it doesn't make it go faster, it goes in the trash.  The only exception to this rule is a heater.  Yes, even in Florida it gets chilly while out street racing until 5am.  If you're wondering why the name of this car is enough, remember the old saying in street racing "run what you brung and hope you brought enough"  you should be able to figure out the rest.  Please go here for a detailed diary of the project.  Just be aware there are numerous pictures on this page.

    98 Ford Explorer-  This is my wife's daily driver which we bought brand new.  All stock at this point but you never know when I'll win the lottery!

    83 Chevy C25 Pickup-  This is my daily driver I bought December of 1998.  I paid $1000 for it.  It has a strong 305 but came with a blown TH-350.  I paid $250 for a new tranny and have driven it every day since then.  I love having this truck around and am in the process of putting a 350 in it as well as a/c and paint. ***UPDATE*** I just traded an old block for a complete tuned port intake from an 85 Corvette, complete with fuel injectors and rails.  I will be adding this intake to the new motor and controlling it with the Electromotive TECII with the hopes of increased drivability, torque, and fuel economy.
