      MMMMM tasty. So, no plug spitting this year?
      I hate to admit, after having my mom's 2000 GT Mustang with a 4.6 and 5 speed...I almost want to put the old 351C on a stand, and find a mod motor, Ford racing PCM, and a T56...

        Planing to maybe have a trailer with me this year...packing in the fiero sucks. New hidden hitch behind plate is installed, just need to do the mods to the bumper cover, and get the trailer.

        anyone have experience with the Tag-a-long trailer from Harbor Freight?

        Hey at least i will have room for some beer that wont get warm sitting next to the engine all day!

          Will equip the Banana Boat with Fast EFI. I believe I'll get a lot better gas mileage and that along with the rebuilt suspension and disc brakes, which were added last year, the car should be a great ride, especially with the TOP DOWN

              I fabricated my frame using 1 1/2" square tubing and used a Sears car top carrier. We have used it for several years. I bought a trailer like the Tag-a-Long and used the suspension parts and fenders. If interested in photos, PM me your email address. You can see it behind our convertible in the avatar. Jack

                Don't have the means to do the welding of a home built one. Was thinking of a HF flat one with a car topper but for the cost a little more than a carrier can get the whole package

                  I shopped for a used trailer at the motorcycle dealers, but they were out of my budget and I needed one a little larger. The cost of the trailer and the Sears car top carrier was around $400.

                    Yea not the same cost of the tag a long. Wish it was a little longer so a canopy would fit, but otherwise should be big enough, usually me by myself

                        The '63 Catalina is now Plan A and is waiting patiently in line for my mechanic to take it in and make it all better since all i'm doing is making it worse. However I have been working on Plan B the '13 Challenger and it's makeover from the '13 tour. Changed out the wheel and tire package, removed the stripes, painted the rear spoiler and now just waiting on the carbon fiber vinyl to wrap the hood and then it will get dropped a little. Hopefully the Catalina is something stupid cause if it gets to be too much then it will not make it.

                          I picked up a set of late model GTO seats for my ride (88 Monte SS). Cool part is these seats are covered to match my interior and already have the custom made mounts to bolt in. My aching back can't wait now! Also on the list is to get the driveline balanced and send the intake manifold out for some machine work so it seals against the heads better.
                          GM G-bodies, because I can't afford a 69 Camaro.

                            I was given a canopy by my Dad, so we'll have one with us on tour. The torino is a *bit* bigger than your Fiero {Damn autocorrect doesn't like your car's name}.

                                Got something else figured out, my club is loaning me one too...change of plans is to get the Flat Harbor Frieght Trailer and get a Sears x-cargo 20 or Sears Sport 20 - SV and put it on the trailer. Those are longer and has more cubic feet than the tag-a-long
