I'm on Facebook with some liberals I've known since grade school. I get called a conservative pig all the time. I take it as a compliment of the highest order....

Like I posted, liberals are the only one that brag about having a kok in their asses, and call it civil rights. They hate war as long it is initiated by a republican President, and having the largest debt in US history is acceptable as long it is created by a damn foreign liberal president. |

Now looks at this Liberals have been promoting no-deportations to get the Hispanic votes, and illegal mexicans think it is permissible to be "illegal". Don't get me wrong, we do have some POS republicans, and thanks to them we WILL LOOSE the 2016 elections. There is no way the GOP will win the election in 2016. There is no GOP candidate out there, and if they are going to wait until July 2016 (like Romney did in 2012 with his weak ass campaign) I will be laughing at the GOP for an additional 8 years until 2024. |

Nobody wanted to be McCain's VP. Look at him today, I wish he would had been killed at the Hanoi Hilton. Screw him, he is a freak show wearing a suit. |

Romney would have been a good president....but I agree with Pete....his campaign made Jimmy Carter's second term campaign look strong.
Anyone remember Reagan's 1980 campaign? He came out of the gate like a phucking pitbull and sustained it throughout....won by a landslide. |

Hey that campaign, that man those days is what made me a republican as a teenager. We need presidents with balls, and guts. To lead America you have to be an asshole, a cowboy, and show the whole world you mean what you say, and that you say what you mean.
Putin knows obonga has none of the above...NONE Carter likes to claim that he negotiated the Americans release from Iran all the way to his last day. I'm willing bet my two Vettes that the reason was President Reagan. Iran knew he carried a "15" shlong wrapped in concertina wire". |

I dragged my Catholic wife kicking and screaming to a Baptist church. She decided it's better with more caring people than in hers. But she thought we were hard core...we haven't been to a pentecostal church

OK...update.
I DROVE IT!!!!! Picked it up from the shop today. It's not registered or insured, so I brought a trailer....but I couldn't resist running it up and down a country road a few times. Fires right up, nice steady idle, throaty exhaust, and very responsive. I didn't lay into it hard, but opened it up a bit. Let's just say I'm happy.... Then "the problem" hit right as I was getting ready to drive it up on the trailer. Sudden miss in the engine....and {uh oh...} tap tap tap tap tap..... I knew it wasn't a bottom end knock....wasn't even a knock....just like a sequential backfire out of the intake. And that's exactly what it was. Pulling off plug wire #1 yielded a nice quiet motor. I drove it up on the trailer, brought it home, drove it into the garage and waited for it to cool off. I knew exactly what I was going to find before I found it..... I bought these from Mustangs Unlimited....said "OEM Quality". Bullshit. I'm very unhappy, and they will hear about it. I'm going down to CarParts Machine and pick up a set of Comp Magnums and replace all 16 tomorrow. But gents....it runs, steers, brakes, drives, and sounds fanstastic. Keeps a nice steady 50-60 psi of oil pressure, never gets over 195, and will get up and boogie. It was all worth it. I'll cure the rocker ills and iron out some of the minor details, but it should be on the streets full time in a week or so. Funny side note....I'm coming down the 601 Freeway with the Mach 1 on a trailer...within 4 miles, 3 guys in Mustangs and one in a Ram 1500 pickup gave the thumbs up. This car gets massive attention....even on a trailer and in ratty condition. |

Friz, Glad to hear the problem wasn't to big, I bet it freaked you out to hear it happen........I have never seen a rocker break like that, "OEM quility" isn't what it use to be, could it possibly be because they were "made in China".???.. ...When you get it all buttoned up and running great, maybe you can shot a video for us to see of you tearing up the streets......Friz, you did a great job on the Stang.....WW

I'm jealous. Is the posse getting free rides when you decide to take it on a round the country trip?
As for OEM...it means Old East Mandarin |

From the picture, Friz, that thing LOOKS forged but maybe you can tell if it's just cast? Either way, I doubt it's had any heat treating let alone proper heat treating... Too bad, but no damage and it will feel good replacing them!
Congrats on a good project finish!! |

I've never seen a stock rocker break before. I've seen then well worn from mis installation, or damaged on the end, but I didn't think stamped steel parts would fracture.
looks like some cheap imported garbage (it is obviously cast as well). |
