wish you were closer. I could throw some local stuff your way for relatively cheap.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Well........The T-bird/cougar rescue will be staying a pipe dream. I'm not going to get into why, but I still have total access to the body shop I was working in and will do some painting when/if he gets any jobs in. I've gone back to driving semis but the good part of that is I'm delivering parts to Ford and Chrysler.
Just thought I'd let you all know
.

UPDATE
:D

The rescue will only be delayed until the wife and I get our new home built next summer. I also have been given the option to get on a dedicated overnight run from my work yard to a supplier in Oregon (Toledo area) OH to the Chicago Ford assembly plant and back to the yard. This run pays well and will help with my goals. Sorry about the rant above. I was having one of "those" days.

there were a lot of clean and cheap cars in Oregon when I was up there. too bad I couldn't get any owners to call me back, or I would have driven one home.
