2.33 60'? Don't you have a 5-spd? And 3.73s? And some other bolt-ons? Do you have a lemon? Are you running polyglass radials? Or do you have no driving skills whatsoever?

I built my '69 Mustang Coupe basically from the ground up. I had that thing down to almost nothing. I rebuilt the stock 351W 2-bbl into what it is now, I swapped in a C4 that I put a shift kit and a stall converter on, I swapped out the old 8" rear end for the 9" Currie that I spent my "school money" on. $1800 of my school money actually.

I sanded every inch of every body panel on that car. Door jambs, under hood, under trunk, inside trunk, inside engine compartment, you name it. Sanding is one of the most tedious jobs in the world.

I paid for, and installed almost all of my interior. All I didn't do was put in the headliner and reupholster the seats. I installed my own stereo system, including a CustomAutosound USA-04 head unit, Pioneer surface mount speakers on the package tray, Pioneer 5 1/4" speakers in the lower doors (which I used a little of my own ingenuity on in mounting them, and if you would like to hear about it, I'll tell you, but you're probably out in your nonheated garage with a gravel floor working on your 10 second show car perfect Mustang.....right?), a Kenwood 4-channel amp, and a Kenwood 10-disc CD changer. I spent my "school money" on all that stuff too. And it wasn't a "bumping" system and I didn't ride around with rap blaring.

I have also pulled out a 351C from my fastback, and a C6, and a 9" rear, and all the interior...and some other stuff. But I won't bore you since you are such a gear head and can't spend very much time on the computer.

Some things like this, many "kids" my age would find tedious. But guess what....I love them. So go ahead...open up wide and let me put my balls on your chin.
