    Posted: 08-September-2010 at 3:30AM

After going to the Nostalgia Drags I have decided to make my 68 a Cobra Jet Clone. The cars has a 302 in it right now but it sounds like a big block. I have a buddy who is going to make the decals for my car. I am looking to put a 428 CJ into the car when I can save the money. I am also thinking of a Mustang 2 front end and eliminate the shock towers.

My T is a deuce. I do love that car. I traded my 77 Bronco to a friend of mine for paint and bodywork on my 65, so my wife can drive it.

I had an idea last night that just might work. At this time it is just an idea and I haven't thrown out the CJ idea. I thought about making this a car they never made, a 68 Mach 1. Shaker scoop and all. I could call it a Mach 68. Just an idea. I wish I could draw a picture of what I have in my head. Too bad I am not Chip Foose.

My wife wants me to sell the 92 wagon and 97 rav and buy me a truck. I am all about getting rid of the rav but I cant be without my wagon. I wish I could turn it into an older Ford wagon. I definitely want to see your wagon. They have a special place in my heart, I grew up with a 65 Country Squire
