This guy came down to look at The Bad Apple, and fell in love.

Looks like a done deal, as long as I'm happy with the Fairlane. Headin up there tomorrow, I'll let you all know what happens....

I'm scared......

Do you have any fingernails left?

Just got back from Michigan, 4 hours ONE way! Sheesh! What a trip that was. On a side note, Michigan doesn't impress me much, I think we should sell it to Canada.

Anyways, it's with a sad heart I have to inform you all that The Bad Apple will be living in Pontiac Michigan as of this Saturday. As soon as I walked into this guys garage, I knew it was a done deal. This Fairlane is BEEEAUTIFUL!! And solid as a rock. Almost NO rust on her. The official deal is as follows:

I keep:
Engine (Carb to pan, water pump to flywheel), Clutch, bellhousing, tranny, shifter, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel press regulator. NO fuel lines, those stay.

He keeps:
351C and headers. Period.

I hope I can still hang around here, cuz I love this place and I've learned A LOT from you guys!!!! But I have a chance to own my Dream car for ZERO dollars, and I gotta jump on it.

On the bright side, the car is ALL black, and the last 6 of the serial are 138666 So I'm thinking the new Fairlane will be called "The Punisher" hehehehehe But I'm open for suggestions on that as well.

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Don't be ridiculous...of course you'll be able to still hang around here!
A Fairlane is still a Ford and besides that, you have a wealth of valuable information a lot of us could always use....myself included...as you already know first hand :D
I'll look you up on your own website if I have to ;)
Do what you gotta do man! It's your dream car.....so go get her!

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Thanks Brian. Belive me, I'm sad to see the Stang go, she's been good to me. VERY good to me. But chances like this only come around once, so I gotta go.

Already thinking twin turbo's on the Fairlane though. The wheels are turning!!!!!

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

666????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about "El Diablo"

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

"EL Diablo"
now that is cool, i second that! makes me wanna put a topic out on mine and c what you guys can come up with.

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

90% of the guys on that site are members of my car club, and live in the area. But I have to admit, there's a WEALTH of knowledge over there.

"El Diablo", I rikey! I rikey a rot!

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

"Hellraiser" is another one that was brought up that I liked.

Sunday is the official day. Had to rearrange work schedule and everything. I'll get more/better pics if you guys are interested.

FFW officially frosted my nuts. Nostalgia Ford was my absolute FAVORITE class to watch (Other than Warrior and Renegade) and I was SOOOO excited that I'll actually be able to run IN it! Went to check the rules, to make sure I was "ok". FFW did away with the class. I was like WTF???? So, back to Quick Ford I go.......

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Now u c, that is what I am talking about. That is just some cool S*#$. U gotta a cool name with flames....I dont even have a name...not only that, but ur car is gonna haul some serious butt down the track too.
Ryan

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

I'm glad you are able to own your dream machine. Congrats on the deal. So, you gonna put the 347/tko in the fairlane?

And, I like the hellraiser scheme, but the el diablo is pretty clever.

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Why not use both names - El Diablo the Hell Raiser

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

I second that!
Ryan

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Ab-so-******* lutely! 347/TKO WILL be in the Fairlane, as soon as I find an oil pan, front cover, and headers. Even converting the clutch pedal so I can run a cable with a stang quadrant and firewall adjuster.

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Hell yeah, that's what I wanted to hear! Do you need a front sump or rear sump pan? Why do you need a front cover?

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Need a front sump pan/pickup. Then I need an old front cover with the dipstick up front. ;)

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

You talkin about a timing chain cover with the dip stick tube in it?
I just happen to have one right here dude! It's all yours!!
Drop me an email or PM and we'll talk about this.

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Yeah, that's EXACTLY what I'm talkin bout Willis!!!



On a side note, Fairlane came home today!!! I gotta tell ya, she's a 98% rust free baby doll!!!! If she only knew what was in store for her..... <wicked evil grin> hehehehehehe

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Bill, I sent you a PM about it.

Re: You can own The Bad Apple!
 

Leaps and Bounds my brothers, Leaps and Bounds!

Got the solid motor mounts built, got the fuel tank sump fabbed up, now onto the clutch issue.

Does anyone have a fox body clutch quadrant laying around doing nothing??? I THINK I got my clutch issues figured out, but I'll be dipped in poopy if I can find a quaddrant in my shop. I KNOW I have at least 3 of them..... somewhere.

Nothing fancy, just need it for "mock up" right now........ :D
