Reeds car is beautiful yes,but it seems everyone and thier granny uses those rims and i wish he didn't put that el cheapo 79-82 Mustang hood scoop on there.I woulda used a Boss 429 style scoop or better yet a 78 XC Cobra scoop

Speed is just a question of money, how fast do you wana go.[/font]


That's indeed an excelant restoration job. One hell of a machine.[/font]
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

It was at the 2003 Ford 100yr celebration as well. I took several pics of it to see how my 460 would fit. It is indeed an impressive car and beautiful in person. Reed's, Tom's black/silver XAGT and Bob's White/blue JGS were among the best around.

I think he's done everything right, to be honest. Wouldn't change a thing about it. But you're right it's all a matter of personal taste. I like the wheels because they are old school and massively fat :-)
