How 'bout reading the gallery sticky http://www.stangfix.com/testforum/index.php?topic=387.0 and the tutorial sticky http://www.stangfix.com/testforum/index.php?topic=1209.0 and get busy post some pics.

You are allowed to use an insane amount of space, unlimited actually, and it would sure be nice to see some of those gems I know you have. I don't want to mention any names, but I know there's at least 4 69s here besides mine and I'm kinda partial to that year model.

Thank you for your continued support :bow

Hey I will see what I can do but it will be a bit. I am sitting here with the instrument cluster out of my 95 GT Vertible in my hands. I am taking it apart to paint the needles on the gauges. I had to replace the water temp gauge in it earier this year and the only one I could find was a used one and the needles on it were faded real bad. Makes the cluster look like crap. So first things first. Beside if I don't get this back together I don't get to drive it. And since the 69 is in front of it I don't get to drive that one either.

Here's mine, needs a little work still.

Sluggo · « **Reply #10 on:** June, 21, 2009, 01:57:31 PM »

Quick fried to a crackly crunch!

We are gonna need more pics of that.

Did you buy it that way, or did you forget to use some heat shrink tubing?

And what's the story on the Unimog lookin unit?

definitely fixable, let me suggest you just try to buff it out.

Sluggo · « **Reply #12 on:** June, 21, 2009, 02:23:20 PM »

The stripping part is nearly done! Looks like a weekender.

johnpro · « **Reply #13 on:** June, 21, 2009, 04:39:59 PM »

*LOL* It's kind of fun being the Noob again!

Posting pictures would assume that I actually take pictures of it! You would think that as much as I drive mine, I'd find some place to get some decent pics of it. My new billet grills really give Scary a different look and the only pics I have with the grill are from Knott's this year, and the lighting was terrible.

I'll post a few of what I have, though.

It is the original paint. It was in a barn fire a long time ago and has been sitting. It's only got 18K on it, poor thing. It's a 428 4-speed 70' GT500 SCJ R code drag pack car with 4.30 factory rear gears. I bet it was fun to drive, will be again someday.

I'm partials to 69's as well since that is my high school class year. OK OK, I might start dumping pics on this site. Why not?

Holy shidookie! You have the drivetrain?

Opentracker · « **Reply #17 on:** June, 21, 2009, 07:20:36 PM »

Everything but the motor. It got blowd up. The car was owned by a NASCAR team member and they raced it on the weekends for fun. It ran a 427 after the 428 let go. It's all there, just melted. It never got parted out thankfully. I have the hood, bumper, stock wheels and seats too.

It was a flash fire, the carpet is still OK. Everything above the belt line got poofed. :expl

My plan is to put glass in it and get it runing as is. I have a nice tri-power big block to go in. The doors open, it steers and rolls fine. No frame damage and no rust to speak of. It never got hit so the 1/4rs are in good shape. Power steering and power brakes, no A/C. I was chosen by the PO. He wanted it to go to a good home. Quite an honor IMO. I'll be the caretaker of it for the rest of my life, then it's my boy's toy.

OK, I created a gallery with my 1969s... But I don't know how to link it here to show you? I admit that I am a moron :doh

You're not a moron, you just did not look hard enough :rofl
Click a thumbnail in you gallery. Scroll to the bottom left and you will see code you can copy to link to the pic.
Use the bb code if you want to add it to a post.

Use direct link to make a link to the pic
http://www.stangfix.com/testforum/gallery/1/57_21_06_09_8_48_54.jpg
And use show html link to show the pic and link to it.
[img width= height=]http://www.stangfix.com/testforum/gallery/1/57_21_06_09_8_48_54.jpg[/img]
It's that easy.

Sluggo · « **Reply #20 on:** June, 21, 2009, 08:25:35 PM »

The show html link does not function quite right because I have highslide reducing the pic size then enlarging it when you click it which defeats the link. We almost always use the bb code exclusively. The link codes are more for linking to it from somewhere else.
