Wild West Mustangs of Arizona

[Blown66]

We have started a new west side (Phoenix) Mustang club. One that will not compete with Copperstate Mustangs (not that we could). . .but hopefully one that can compliment.

Since Copperstate is mainly an East Valley club we are starting a west side one for those of us that want to be more involved with our cars.

Anyone interested please drop me a note!

Kenny

[BurnTire]

Sounds like a great idea for those that live on the Wild West side of town.

[AZSonicSnake]

sounds like good stuff to me!

[Blown66]

We have gotten together 3 times informally and now have a meeting set. We are definitely on the ground floor. . .but we're scrappy! lol

Here is our site.. .although it is not ready for public viewing, what the hell. Very rough draft site. ..heck even our Art is not spelled correctly. Although our actual art is coming.

[AZSonicSnake]

i wanted to make it to the last meet that you sent me a note about, but i had something already planned that night. i do plan to make it out at some point though. i remember seein a few of the cars pictured on your site this last weekend at the classics on the plaza show. some good looking stangs. i had my cobra out there on the plaza. :woot2:

[Blown66]

I wish I had see it? I cruised in (in and out in 5 minutes) to hand say hi to a couple of guys and didn't get to see much.

I'd like to get the word out Saturday (Ford show) but out of respect for Copperstate. . .I won't poach. But if you come out, say hi!

i'll be at the show this weekend. i would meet you guys, but thats going way out of my way to go back there. i am at 32nd st and bell road.

[Blown66]

That brings a whole new meaning to North Phoenix to me. . .I guess what I consider north phoenix is actually NW Phoenix. My bad.

[BurnTire]

Ok where are those other Wild West Member?
Time for them to get signed up!

[AZSonicSnake]

its all good man. its still more west phoenix than tempe or mesa...:twothumbsup:

[Blown66]

True dat. . .

What's all of your opinions on an all Ford Club vs. just Mustangs? Since we are in the starting stage, half our club is open to all ford. It seems there are A LOT of mustangs on the west side, so members shouldn't be an issue.

[vicious781]

I live on the NW side! When/where is the meeting spot? I will be at that car show at GCC during the day.

[AZSonicSnake]

i think an all ford club would be cool. i think it will open it up to more members, and there is nothing wrong with getting all the blue oval drivers together!

[Blown66]

The meeting spot will be announced (as soon as I talk to the place tomorrow).. lol. . .it is at 58th ave and Glendale (old town Glendale, very safe where it is)...cool setting actually. On the 5th (whatever that wed is) of November.

I know what you mean about the all ford. . .I am 50/50. . .I like the pureness. . .but there are some nice fords out there.

[blueone]

So where is the meeting place? I heard it was going to be at Fast Eddie's Diner. But the date was on Thursday November 6 @ 6pm? Is it on Tuesday the 6th or Thursday the 8th?

[Blown66]

Sorry BLUE. . .typo. . .it has actually changed one last time. I hate changes, but the other place (Fast Eddies) wouldn't guarenttee privacy. This place will. It's safe and we can see the cars out the front window.

When? Wed. Nov. 7th / 6pm dinner. . .meeting to follow.

[crazy ray]

The meeting sounds great. All other meetings have been along ways from me here in Buckeye. But this one I can make. Look forward to meeting the west siders.

[Blown66]

That's probably the biggest reason for starting the club. . .we'd love to to join Copperstate. . .just to far away.

First Meeting Tonight. . .wish us luck.

[Torchmach]

How did your meeting go ?????? Are you going to be a Mustang, or All Ford Club? Lots of nice Fords on the Westside!


FYI Wild West Mustangers, Pioneer Ford will be having its Second Annual Tricked Ponies Show Jan 13. Might be a good place to show up in mass, maybe do some talking and see if they would be intresteed in sponsering you.

[Blown66]

Nice timing. :)

I met with Pioneer a week ago and he invited me to their show meeting (yesterday). We are now a part of their great show, and they want to sponsor us. :) We'll help out any way we can, and in fact we'll be adopting their charity as our own as well.

As for our meeting. . .damnest thing. I went in fully expecting to end up being an all Ford club. The guys that wanted to do it, during the discussion they ended up convincing each other that we should stick to just Mustangs? I have no idea. lol

Bottom line. . .we are just Mustangs.

[AZSonicSnake]

sounds good. no issue here since i happen to own one...:woot1:

[ASUSMC]

So if I have a Mustang, but its in the garage torn into about 1000 pieces, can I show up in the Lightning?

[Blown66]

Hey every club needs a mascot. ;)

[Blown66]

BTW if your question was a real one. . .that is a question we need to work through. We currently have a member building a 67 Fastback and he drives a 67 Cougar. . .so I am guessing as long as your intent (building a mustang) is there, then yes.

[ASUSMC]

Yeah it was a real one. I just got the '89 home last night and tore the valve cover off. (Yes one cover its a 4 cylinder car). Everything looked very good actually. I will try to get it to start at some point this weekend just to see if it will run. But still a lot of hours to invest in it before its street worthy.

[Blown66]

Cool.

I hear it takes time and money to build a car? ;)

Good luck and look us up, we'll help keep you motivated.

[93mustank]

Will there be another meeting today?

[Blown66]

Next club meeting. . .December 4th, 6:30pm (see website below). ..

We will be gathering at 91st & Northern (again see website for better details) on Friday night. . .most people getting there around 6:30pm. That is behind the Auto Zone, which is JUST north of Northern on the West side of the street.

Come on out!

hey guys! im in west valley and am interested in your club. you guys have prolly seen my car at shows and stuff. its an 05 silver vert with an eleanor kit on it. but i would like to get involved in the club too. the only problem is i have school during the week (i go to UTI) so it makes it hard for me to get to any of the meetings. but hopefully i will get to see some of you guys soon. my name is tyler.

[Blown66]

You've got mail. :)

[hpmotzd]

Hey guys,
I live in the west valley and have an 08 GT and my buddy has an 07 GT500 and we would like to join you. can you tell us what we need to do to join your club? Thanks

[Blown66]

We have had several meetings and formed the foundation of what we are looking for in a club. Dues were set. . .but after hearing how a club does theirs in California I will be readdressing that issue with the club. We have a sponsor, so that's a major step.

What do you have to do? Show up...be a good person and a club member that will move the club forward. Do you have to go to every meeting, every event? Nope.

Again the holidays and our association with the car show coming up this Sunday have taken a toll on the forward progress of the club, but I suspect after Sunday we will be very full steam ahead.

Hope to see you there!

What car show?

[crazy ray]

The car show is on the 13th, this coming Sunday. At Pioneer Ford in Avondale. Come on out to look or to show.

[05mustangman]

im not going to be able to make it to the meeting on wednesday due to being in school. but im definitely gonna be at the show on sunday.

[Blown66]

Very cool...we'll talk on Sunday...Ray and I (and about a couple dozen others) will be running around with our heads cut off.

See you there!

[crazy ray]

Thats the truth.

[05mustangman]

alright sure thing guys. just look for this car.

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w175/05mustangman/MustangPictures2003-1.jpg

[Blown66]

WOW. . .beautiful!

Quick question. . .how many mods do you have on your car? That can be anything from a none factory stereo to wheels etc...

[ASUSMC]

Only one mod that really hurts me on that car... The window banner

[crazy ray]

I agree. Iam not a big fan of window stickers. But the rest of the car looks good. Hope to see you at the show.

[AZSonicSnake]

Only one mod that really hurts me on that car... The window banner

agreed...i am not against window banners...but when they say that i am. :biglaugh:

otherwise, thats a sweet looking s197...well done man!

[05mustangman]

the AMP window sticker is gone now but i do have a stage 3 motorsports banner on my windshield. thats kind of an old pic but still.

i do have quite a few mods: long tube headers, off road h-pipe, magnaflows, k&n intake, 4.10 gears, some body work done, and a bunch of other stuff.

but im hoping i can enter the 05-08 convertible class so i dont have to compete against nancy. lol.

[AZSonicSnake]

sounds like good stuff man! and the stage 3 banner is cool. :twothumbsup:

[05mustangman]

thanx guys. cant wait to meet you guys at the show too.

[Blown66]

That's why I asked. . .and is the big question right now in that how many mods are okay for judging and classification? I've read so much crap on this. . .people in here suggested three, we went with 5. . .but it's still up for debate. In fact that is one thing we are going to discuss tonight.

As they get more cars in the upcoming years they'll have more classes...they expanded the classes to almost double from last year. But even should a basic stocker that has wheels, tires, stereo, stripes, wings, grill go against a car that has 20 mods?

[AZSonicSnake]

i know thats on thing that i liked when i first joined copperstate, they had a point list that you filled out, and certain mods carried far more weight than others. like my car for instance, i have a ton of mods on it, but unless you crawlin under it, you see none of them. i have done strictly performance stuff. otherwise my car looks stock from the outside. i think making things like body kits, video, and hoods and so forth making a bigger difference to what class you put someone in.

[hpmotzd]

T just wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome to the club at the meeting tonight. This is definately a good group of people and I look forward to being a part of it. Hope to see everyone at the show Sunday. :pinkthumb:

[AZSonicSnake]

wow, what a great group. i look forward to doing more stuff with you guys. thanks for the warm welcome tonight, and i had a blast hanging out and talking cars till a little after 10. what a fun time. i cannot wait till sunday. :woot2:

[05mustangman]

DANG i wish i would have known you guys would have been there till ten or so. i might have been able to swing by for about an hour or so after school. but at least ill get to meet you guys at the show!

[AZSonicSnake]

yeah, and few of us ended up standin around checkin out the cars and what not and bsin for sometime. i'll be honest, i did not wanna go home even when i left, but i needed to so i could get up in the morning and goto work.

[crazy ray]

I want to thank everyone for coming to the meeting last nite. Talking to those who stayed after the meeting and looking at each others cars was nice.To bad I had to go to work or i would have stayed longer. Looking forward to this weekend and meeting more of you.:wave:

[Blown66]

DAMN JOBS!

You guys really stayed till around 10pm? No kidding. I think I left at 8:15, I had no idea you stayed that long...when did the girls leave? BTW isn't the young girl (24 looks like 16 er 18 :) awesome? She turns the wrenches on her car...very cool!

To the new guys, thanks for coming all of you would be great additions. . .see ya Sunday. (those that will be there)

[Blown66]

Oh BTW. . .I checked on MAY MOVIE NIGHT. . .someone beat us to it and they are going to have a movie night on February 23rd. (I think it is still like 50 degrees at night...oh well) and they will run American Graffiti first.

[Blown66]

Okay opinions from some (you guys) that don't have a horse (pun intended) in this race. Should 1971-73 be judged in with the 60's and 1970, or should it go with the small number of cars we'll get to 1993?

Should it be 1971-1986, 87-2004 if we only have two classes? The biggest problem is we really could end up with 2 1971+ cars if we take it to 1986.

Opinions...

[hpmotzd]

I missed part of the conversation last night. Is anyone going to 91st and Northern tomorrow night?

[hpmotzd]

personally I dont think you can have the 60's models with the post '70 cars. Almost a totally separate animal. At the same time you dont want another class with only 2 cars, so if anything, I would add them to the later models rather than the earlier. Just my opinion.
I think we should see if we cant add ourselves to the movie night on feb 23rd, sounds like fun.

[Blown66]

91st is going to start up again in February (1st Friday)

I agree with your that he needs to be added up. He seemed pretty adamant so I didn't want to argue until I found out if others agreed with me. I'll wait to see what others say.

As for the movie night, I am on his email list (I am still gonna ask him if we can do one), so I'll keep us involved for sure.

[hpmotzd]

Sounds great. BTW, we are going to try and be there by or around 8 on Sunday morning, so just let us know what we can do to help.

Opinions...

dunno if i would split the foxes up though, i would do like 71-93. and thena seperate class for 94-04. and i think the early 70's stangs should go with the 60's class. otherwise i think we'll get some un happy campers. just my .02 though. i like the idea of adjusting on the fly. as you sometimes never know what will actually show up.

[Blown66]

AZ "i would do like 71-93. and thena seperate class for 94-04."
AZ " i think the early 70's stangs should go with the 60's class. "

Ahhh...did you just say two different things? Or when you say early 70's you meant 1970 stangs only?

[AZSonicSnake]

yeah...guess i did not make it very understandable though did i..lol. sorry. thats exactly what i had in mind though.

[Blown66]

Here is something for you guys from another website...as you can see the member we are talking about is very passionate. He would rather go down in class and lose to some sixties cars than up and lose to a 93 lol. SO. . .with that said, I just found this from another show.

Is he right...should he come down? Or is the placement just an opinion and everyone has one?


First Generation - 1964 1/2 to 1973

Second Generation - 1974 to 1978

Third Generation - 1979 to 1993

Fourth Generation - 1994 to 2004

Fifth Generation - 2005 to 2008

[Blown66]

You know what he's right (via Wikipedia and drumroll...HPS lol). . .I'm going to push the change to be (depending on number of cars) to the classes of...combining 74-93.

i think this layout is perfect!!! no changes needed. :twothumbsup:


btw- i like the updates to the WWM homepage. :hi:

[hpmotzd]

Looks good to me. i think depending on the number of cars, this will work out well.

[FalconGTHO]

Count me in. Im bothered that Ive missed meetings, esp the most recent since it was just a few days ago.

Blown, Im thinking we "met" at the Autozone cruise. From what you told me I was there the second night. And I think I showed up another night after that.

[Blown66]

Just found your car on your intro thread...you are correct. I remember meeting you once before. Don't beat yourself up too much...like anything else it takes time to get something like this off the ground.

I really consider our last meeting our first even though we have met like 3 other times. Between the holidays and weather getting together was just tough. We had a nice group last time and it looks like we are def. moving in the right direction.

I'll scan this thread before the next meeting and try to give you a reminder. . .first wed of each month is the schedule.

http://wildwestmustangs.blogspot.com/

[FalconGTHO]

Cool. Thanks man. Ive taken digi cam vid of your car everytime Ive seen it.

[FalconGTHO]

Add me to your website blog plz, unless I need to show up to a meet first. You can use the pic I posted on here.

[Blown66]

Just a reminder. We have our meeting coming up next week...

NEXT MEETING: February 6, 2008 6:30pm at BITZEE MAMAS, 7023 N 58th Ave (1/2 block North of Glendale) (623) 931-0562 Dinner before, meeting right after.

[FalconGTHO]

Barring some catastrophe, Ill be there. Not with my Grabber though.

[Blown66]

It was great meeting you Alan...sorry about the meeting place change. Suckers changed hours and didn't tell us!

Kenny

[FalconGTHO]

Lol, s'allright. Thanks. And likewise meeting you (again, heh) and the rest of the group. Cracker Barrel is a better place AND closer. And has food Ill actually eat, should I decide. The funny thing is I was just sitting in my car waiting. I was GOING to be a little early but got jammed up trying to get there with wrong turns, etc. When I did get there and saw NO Mustangs or ANY cars parked I thought, "Wow, Im the first here and Im not even early". Then Milo showed up. We chatted a bit then he pointed out the note on the door and we went from there.

[blueone]

will there be a meeting on wendsday 2/27. if there is where is it at?

[hpmotzd]

nope, the next meeting is on the 5th at the cracker barrel at 91st and glendale at 6:30pm. See you there! You can check out the link at the beginning of this thread for more club info.

[Blown66]

Just a reminder the next meeting is March 5th at the Cracker Barrel at 93rd ave and Glendale at 6:30pm. Park on the West side of the building...

[FalconGTHO]

Going back reading this entire thread, Im STILL bugged I missed out on the "genesis" of this. But, it helps me get a grip on how things started. Im surprised to see how "new" some of the members are. Now that show season is here, things are going to get moving. Im excited.

[Blown66]

"Im STILL bugged I missed out on the "genesis" of this."

How do you mean? Like more imput at the start or what?

I mean technically this will be our "3rd" actual meeting despite us meeting 3-4 times late last year. So that kinda accounts for the "new" members. I actually consider or meetings last fall to be more of a meet, greet and what the hell do you want to do meetings...

[FalconGTHO]

Just being there from the beginning. Im anal like that. I dont like missing out on things or not knowing whats happening. And I guess its that I was "around" but didnt know what was up. I saw you at the GCC show. Were you at the Sanderson show as well? All I knew was, "Hey, that dudes car is bad azz". And then not getting in on the game sooner when Tricked Ponies happened. Its like walking in on a movie 15 mins after it started knowing that if you had only turned the TV on sooner you wouldnt have missed anything. But, Im here now, so it is what it is.

[Rev'n Kevin]

Better late than never I always say, and I'm with you, this is going to be a great year of friends, cars, and carshows. :laughing1:

[maddme]

I am up for the fun! I think that Wild West Mustangs fill's a need for a club on the west side and that is a good thing. I feel as though we are still comming in on the ground floor here. The members that are already involved are very kool and the more members the more fun and the more events that can happen.

Kenny I was going to ask you the other day (but I forgot) who actually started Wild West?

[Blown66]

MAD "Kenny I was going to ask you the other day (but I forgot) who actually started Wild West?"

That would be. . .me. Actually I pulled the cute little girl :) (she would hate me saying that) Rox in with me, and with her energy we started pulling cars and good people together. As you said, it's a solid group that likes to do things...that's always a good begining.

Al I see what you mean and yeah that makes sense...I look forward to your ideas and you all can anticipate me handing out some assignments and appointments. :)

KEV.. . welcome back! Or are you writing from a Glacier?

[Rev'n Kevin]

KEV.. . welcome back! Or are you writing from a Glacier?

Yep, I'm back, see all of you @ the meeting. Speaking of Glaciers, I got a cool (no pun intended) pic of one. Sure good to be back, brrrrrrrrr. :biglaugh:

[maddme]

I thought that you may have been the one that started the club. Good Job! I will see you at the meeting and as for now I am out for the night.
Adios.:hi:

[Blown66]

Cool...

Kev I thought because of global warming all the glaciers were gone? I'm so gulible. lol

[FalconGTHO]

Good meeting tonight guys. Double the turnout from Feb. Friday is going to be a great start for the cruise in.

[AZSonicSnake]

good deal! glad to hear the WWM is working out.

[maddme]

Hey, it was great getting to know every one from Wild West, see ya all on Friday.:pepper:

[Blown66]

Great meeting the other night and it looks like we have a VERY solid club moving forward with a lot of good people!

Just need some more freaking older mustangs!

[maddme]

Yes! It was a good meeting and It was also fun getting together last night as well. Hope to see you guys tonight at safeway! remember that the Peoria Police department is having a many car show there tonight.:laughing1:

[hpmotzd]

The club is growing quickly and i think we picked up 3 or 4 new members last night as well. Kenny, i will send you a fe pics from last night, this afternoon and will post some here later as well. Not a bad turn out for the first night, 20 cars or so. Sarpinos pizza came by and has offered 15% off for all people in the show from now on :laughing1:

[Blown66]

Hey is there a chance we could contact the peoria police to see if they want to show at Friday night? Just a thought...

[FalconGTHO]

Sure, why not? I cant see why they would say no to having a DARE car or something out there. It would give them another chance to collect for their Special Olympics charity drive. Same thing for Peoria Fire. In fact, Peoria Fire is having a show at the Sports Complex on Apr 13. So, like the police, having them out there would be a chance for them to recruit for the show and their charity as well.

[AZSonicSnake]

i cannot wait for the show on the 13th! that is an awesome event...

[Blown66]

Is that the show that had just a ton of everything from rice to trucks, rods to hot rods? If so that is a great turn out show!

[AZSonicSnake]

yup. a little of everything. its a good time. alot of different stuff for everyone to see. i had the cobra out at the last one.

[Blown66]

This Wed, 6:30...around 7:30 Photo Shoot For The Club.

[1966PonyGirl]

Hey all!

Love this chick...24 and a wrench turner...

I still can't for the life of me figure out why our club struggles coming onto this site??? It took an email explosion (everyone was talking on email like it was a blog) to get Rox here...maybe the flood gates will open? Where the hell is Jemal???

[Blown66]

Eating. lol

Never mind...I just figured it out...

[AZSonicSnake]

i have long wondered that about the vast majority of the copperstate guys too. i guess most people are just not hip to the forum scene. with the opportunity that jeff has provided for both the clubs, i hope this will only change as time goes on.

[1966PonyGirl]

thanks for da welcome, all! i dont mind the email explosion.... gives me something to giggle at on the down time at work. now ill just laugh at you guys here now!

i think this site will take off but it might take a bit to learn for one who is not fully computerly incline. or even have a computer * cough cough cougar boy!.... cough*

[BurnTire]

i have long wondered that about the vast majority of the copperstate guys too. i guess most people are just not hip to the forum scene. with the opportunity that jeff has provided for both the clubs, i hope this will only change as time goes on.

With the number of mustangs in this country I can assure you that only a small percentage of owners participate in any type of forum, but CMC and WWM are slowly increasing participation.

Kenny for the non internet savvy you may want to send them the register link also. Then they can't use the excuse they couldn't figure out how to join. LOL

http://www.highperformancestangs.com/forums/register.php

[Blown66]

I'll do that...but I kinda agree with Rox in that the navigation is a tad difficult here I would assume for some. I have no specifics right now...but I'll take a look later. Thanks for the link, I think that will help.

[maddme]

I agree Kenny, when I first join any forum there is a learning curve. I did not even know what the expression "PM Me" meant. I just thought that my wife was ticked off at me again. LOL :biglaugh:

Have a great week

First off this site is run on vbulletin software (Not Free).
vbulletin is the best and most supported forum software available.

It's all just learning, but every page on this site is fully integrated.

Every page has the upper nav bar on it regardless of where you are so a newbie will never be lost.

Unlike some of the other sites out there if someone has a question about using this site they will get an answer with detailed instructions to make their time here more enjoyable.

There is also some helpful info in the Website Announcements /Suggestions / Questions forum.

When a guest hits the site all they need to do is click that button that says register on it. But the direct link could be more helpful in your blast emails.

Burn first understand...I belong(ed) to several mustang forums. Since I landed on yours I have not been back to them. Yours is by far the best.

With that said, I had no trouble registering...but it took me forever to realize that USER CP was MY profile. Honest to god I think if you named it Your Profile...would be a very good thing. My ONLY other issue is I'd like to post a lot of pics on my "profile". I may be able to do that already...but I don't know. Like I'd love to be able to click on a members profile and see his (her) pics.

On a scale of 1-10...I like yours like a 12. So nothing bad to say, just constructive.

[FalconGTHO]

Finally, Roxie AND Austin showing up, welcome aboard.

[FalconGTHO]

sorry Alan...I know you thought you were

?? Missed that memo. Heh.

[FalconGTHO]

A lot of the lack of forum participation is generational. Those who arent involved with doing "computer stuff" anyway wouldnt be on the net in that fashion. An example is Craig. I mentioned the "email chat" that was going on and how a sounding board on the second My Space would be useful. To paraphrase him, "Ehh, I dont mess with any of that computer stuff. Im good enough getting my email, thats all I need."

[Mr. Austin]

This Wed, 6:30...around 7:30 Photo Shoot For The Club.

Meeting: Cracker Barrel / 93rd Ave And Glendale, Across From Westgate.

so at the last meting what was the talk about changing did we find a different place? you guys were teasing me so much i toned yall out:laughing::biglaugh:

Ahh blown66 has not been busy looking at the new features. LOL

UserCP- Pictures and albums

You can add an album to your profile.

[1966PonyGirl]

ha ha ha! i couldnt image someone like my mom navigating thru this thing. she gets lost on the desktop! i like the forum for da most part. i hang out at one other forum for my other obsession (baseball) and this one has more options for flair.

[1966PonyGirl]

but your such an easy target to make fun of! its all out of love, bro!

[Blown66]

That is correct Burn...once I focus on one thing (forum) I rarely venture back into the site after my first few cruise throughs. I know I asked for a picture of Alan's car once, went to his profile and couldn't find where he said it was. (that was a while back) So if we can do that now...cool.

I know I posted a photo album..but I have no clue how to find it or others specifically. (i know under members photos)

[BurnTire]

The photo gallery was here long before vbulletin had the option to have images on your profile. To find member images in the photo gallery click member galleries-then you will see the alphabet and numbers on the center. That can be used to narrow it down by member name.

Kenny I don't see images on your profile yet? Get busy!

[Blown66]

This Wednesday at 6:30pm! (Cracker Barrel 93rd ave and Glendale)

Get there early and eat, bs...and we can hear when the meeting starts!
(please)

[maddme]

If you BS and eat at the same time it may not look that great. lol:woot1::woot1::woot1::woot1::woot1::woot1:

[Blown66]

Greeeeeeeeeat....a comedian.

[Mr. Austin]

Ahhaha. see you all there at the meeting? will be requesting some help for the car.

[04moostang]

Kinda skimmed through the first few posts. i'm interested i live in Chandler off the 202 and alma school so i'm sure this'll be a hell of a lot easier for me to get involved with. tell me more :) i'm looking through the site right now.

[Mr. Austin]

well meet us at the cracker barrel on wednesday at 7 and you will find out more.

[04moostang]

^ which one??

[Mr. Austin]

over on glendale by the stadium DIrectly on the side of cabelas. in the same parking lot.

[1966PonyGirl]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! yay meeting day! shoot the breeze instead of BS.

[Blown66]

'04...I dunno...if it's me, I join copperstate considering where you live. We are just a LONG ways away from you and most everything we do is over here. So I'd love to have you...I think you might want to think this through.

Good luck!

[04moostang]

well they're kinda far as well. i'm still balancing out my priorities so the chances of me being able to make majority of the events are slim anywho.

[Mr. Austin]

Hey guys i wont be able to make it to the meeting tonight i have somethings i need to finish. hopefully we can chat soon. OH and if anyone can help me work on my stang on an upcoming weekend let me know if you have weekends usually free!!

[CO9B3RA]

My first public post and I'm still having trouble navigating this site!

Luck on setting up a new club; with an "All Ford Car Club", rather catchy I should say, you could forego the problem besetting Tucson's Southern Arizona Mustang Club. At one time we accepted ALL car shows as a possibility to attend and the club was behind any and all member entrys. As time has passed, we've become too mutual exclusive in that if any year Mustang is not accepted for show registration, the club will not sanction that show or back any entrys. The Show Low Still Cruisin' Show this June and The Run to the Pines in Pinetop this Sept. have fallen to unsanctioned shows
(I go to them both, anyway!), whereas we should be going all out for good in-state shows. Much is the loss of SAMC!

Keep motoring with those Fords, guys and gals!:twothumbsup:

[Mr. Austin]

Nice to have you here and see a Post! welcome

[CO9B3RA]

Thank you and I'll keep checking back to see how you all are coming
along....and I'll accept royalties ( :twocents: ) on my suggestion for your clubs name! :greedy:

:hi: from Tucson and "cathouse" ...and that's easier said than "horsehouse!"

[Rev'n Kevin]

There seems to be some confusion here, 1- we already have a club name, Wild West Mustangs, 2- we are a mustang owners club not an all ford club, although we do have a member who owns a couger and not a mustang, 3- We have been around for a while, not just starting up. Hope this clears it up.

[CO9B3RA]

..........Hope this clears it up.


:hi:
Sho' nuff, it do.:yes:

[Mr. Austin]

Lol. hey kenny did you need to talk to me?

FOR ANY SAFEWAY SHOWERS!!!!
This saturday at safeway on 83rd and lake pleasant me and my venture crew will be out and about selling AUTO first Aid kit. they include a great deal of goodies and the money goes to us to take trips. We are trying to rais money for a trip to Alaska to go white river rafting. ANY Donations and a buy would be great. This will be the first time we sells these so looks for some dorks in green shirts and help us out!! each Aid kit is $9 (I kno. Dont tell me) BUT money goes to good cause and It can e your good deed for the week!!!!!

[Rev'n Kevin]

We are trying to rais money for a trip to Alaska to go white river rafting.

I lived 50 years in Alaska, thought I'd just let you know your gonna die! If the river don't get you the bears will. What river and which raft guide you using?

FYI, all rivers in Alaska are glacier fed, about 20 degrees in July, like I said your gonna die, go to Idaho. :biglaugh:

[Blown66]

Yeah I am guessing he is gonna be bear meat...I am sure when the see Austin (best homer simpson voice) "mmmmm...salmon."

Hang in there Cobra it will get easier to post...

Austin I am going to talk to Broch in the next couple days...we didn't get much feedback on the Tech night...do you still have your problems? Write in the tech thread about what you need and we'll figure something out.

DJKEV...the Cougar...he has a 67 fastback that he is building...he's our mascot for now. :)
(nicest guy you will ever meet)

[Rev'n Kevin]

Ya, I was confused about that, he said something about a mustang, but I thought he was buying one, and I agree very nice man, I enjoyed chatting with him at the meeting, and enjoy his company at all the cruise-ins, he is an asset to the club, good participation.

As for Austin, the only suggestion I can make is to wear a strong cologne and wear bells, that way we can hear which bear he's in and ID the remains after the bear shi... well you get the idea. :biglaugh:

[Mr. Austin]

HAHA you guys are mean. no i dont dont know the river and it will be an IK trip. and the river will be a week long trip. and i have actually thought about taking a Rifle with me. need a permit. SOME GOOD EAT N'

[Rev'n Kevin]

What is a IK trip? As for the gun, your guide will have a rifle, it takes a pretty good size one to take down a bear, and being under 18, there is no permit you can get in Alaska to carry. Trust your guide.

[Mr. Austin]

really? i know you can get a permit here to hunt em. didnt know you had to be 18.IK's are like a kyak but air air filled and are more boyant for the rapids.

[Blown66]

I did a whitwater rafting hiking trip to Montana about 8 years ago...had my bear bells lol...roughing it for me is when my hotel loses my reservation.

At any rate going down the rapids before we hit JAWS (a 4) the guide who is RIGHT behind me goes OH SHIT.

Not a good feeling.

[Mr. Austin]

ahahaha wow a 4? damn that some moving water. ha "oh SHit"

[Blown66]

There were actually two fours on that run (bonecrusher)...we had to go highside right to not flip. I asked the guide (about "shit") she said, "oh you heard that".

[Mr. Austin]

lol sound like a great time! kenny will you be out there on sat night?

[hpmotzd]

As for Austin, the only suggestion I can make is to wear a strong cologne and wear bells, that way we can hear which bear he's in and ID the remains after the bear shi... well you get the idea. :biglaugh:


Damn! I thought I was cold blooded. :biglaugh:
:stang3:

[Blown66]

Obviously Austin I wasn't there...I am in the middle of my work (weekends mostly) and I can't cruise again until the 6th and 7th off June. But you can bet your ass I'll be the last one standing both nights. lol

[Mr. Austin]

cool cool!! i may sneak the car out for a slow drive out to the safeway show so it gets a little oil running through the gears.

[crazy ray]

Yes, I am still alive. I have so busy with work and home life i haven't been on the site or to a meeting. But I am still here. :biglaugh:

[blueone]

Thought you might have been in jail since you werent around:laughing1:

This ones for Austin

CLUB MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT!

Wednesday, June 4th...6:30pm.
Cracker Barrel 93rd ave and Glendale (North side of the street)

[Cooper4048]

Great to hear about the formation of a west side Mustang Club. Since this forum has been pretty quiet for a month or two, I assume there are no club meetings or activities over the summer? If I'm wrong (I've never been wrong - once I thought I was, but I was mistaken :biglaugh:), then please post the date and time for us newbies. Thanks mucho!

Jeff

Jeff

Well let's see, we had our July meeting, Sat there was a cruise to Tortilla Flats, we have a cruise-in every friday night @ 91st and Northern, best place to get updated info would be http://wildwestmustangs.blogspot.com/

Just a side note: I see a lot of us are in Peoria, maybe we should have a meet up, maybe at the sonic drive-in or something one of these nights

[Blown66]

Which sonic in peoria??? Also...Jemal wants us to invade his wifes starbucks (she runs it) at 59th and T' Bird...that might be an option too.

BTW Kev...is it true? Rumor has it you are thinking of going to the dark side and getting a 60's stang?

Actually like Kev says..I think we are doing a lot during the summer...that surprises me, I thought we would have slowed down more.

But do check out the site Kev gave you, it will give you a good idea of where we are at.

[Rev'n Kevin]

Yes, the rumor is true, but being very picky on what I eventually get, so may be a while. When you see my 95 go up for sale, you will know.

As for Starbuck's, that's a great idea, I suggest a evening meet, maybe midweek, we should start another thread to announce it, let's get some more input from more westsiders.

[1966PonyGirl]

ill second that.... peoria is a whole lot closer to me! :tearsofjoy:

[Rev'n Kevin]

I just checked on the weather this week and we're looking at possible showers every evening this week. So this week don't look to good. Let's get some more input and try for next week. How's wens. the 30th @ 7pm sound (depending on the weather).

lol i leave arizona for a bit and rain comes. i comeback and it drys up a bit! go figure! next wee is perfect for me. ill be back from this AWESOMELY NOT SO HOT STATE of Co.!

[Blown66]

I'm okay next wed...we need to talk to Jemal to make sure his wife is working then...otherwise we are just going for coffee and I'd rather hit somewhere else.

ROX...how the hell do you delete friends from Myspace? I am trying to dump the one...but can't find the dump button.

[1966PonyGirl]

its easy.... go to view all your friends. then youll see a tab saying My Friends. if you look to the left of that tab, youll see a button that says edit friends. its next to the view birthdays, change top friends yada yada yada....

its not to easy to find id say. i had to pull up myspace to look at. (its been a while since i have booted people!)

[hpmotzd]

[quote=Rev'n Kevin;47562]Yes, the rumor is true, but being very picky on what I eventually get, so may be a while. When you see my 95 go up for sale, you will know.quote]

I am joining you in that thought, mine is up for sale now. If you hear of anyone looking, point them my way. lol.
By the way, the friday night cruise in has been awfully quiet lately, our DJ seems to have disappeared. :dunno:

[Rev'n Kevin]

The weather has been a main factor as far as DJ'n the Fri-Nite Cruise-in, the heat and now the moisture in the air is not good on the equipment. Also, I will be out of town for the month of August. We'll see what happens when I get back, there's some things going on that I don't wish to make public at this time, but lets just say my Wife's needs come first.

[hpmotzd]

Family ALWAYS comes first! If you need anything let us know, you have my number. :pinkthumb:

[Cooper4048]

Well, it looks like you all have been pretty busy over the summer. This particular string hadn't had a posting for a month or two, so that's what gave me that mistaken impression. I'll check out the other link you gave me. Looks like mostly late model Stangs here, but I see there are some members who appreciate the old iron too. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to any local cruises or cruise-ins. I was a member of the Copperstate Mustang Club for a long time but finally threw in the towel due mostly to east side events/focus. I did their newsletter for several years, and have a lot of friends in that group still. But I'm ready to meet a new group of Mustang enthusiasts, especially if the activities and meetings are in the neighborhood! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Jeff

[hpmotzd]

:welcome4:, hope to see you out friday night at 91st and Northern. Come by and meet a few of the members.

[Blown66]

Looks like mostly late model Stangs here, but I see there are some members who appreciate the old iron too. I was a member of the Copperstate Mustang Club for a long time but finally threw in the towel due mostly to east side events/focus. Jeff

You are incorrect sir. :)

We are actually 50% 1971 or older and 50% the other direction.

Copperstate is a great club, it's like you said though...to far for west siders. So it made sense creating something out west. I hope you swing by to one of our meets.

[1966PonyGirl]

come on out! i wont be there there this friday.... but i am hoping for next fri the 1st!

Bryn... did i read in to that righ? are you saying your going to sell your new one and get an oldie????

[hpmotzd]

Yep, you heard right. I am letting go of my baby and going to look for something older. :yes:

[1966PonyGirl]

i am sad (cause i love your current mustang...) but super stoked about you coming to the Old car side. ! i cant wait to see what you find! insurance will be sooooooooo much cheeper even if you dont pick up vintage car insurance. are you looking for a bone stock, light mods or total restomod? what year/body style?

[hpmotzd]

I love her too, but this econmy is killing me. LOL. I would prefer to find a 69 only because that was my first Mustang but am looking for anything up to a '70. I want to build it for muscle so any mods already done are fine and would rather do that to one that hasnt been kept to original. you are right, the insurance will be a lot cheaper and i wont have the payment which means more money to put into an older one. I am hoping to be able to pay cash for an older one and take my time building her. I do however, want to find one that is running so i can drive it while I take my time putting her together, kind of like what you are doing.

[1966PonyGirl]

I hear ya! the eco isnt even suppose to turn around till end of this year and others say like half way thru 09 if we are lucky! you have the right idea buying outright! make sure you have a second driver. i am saving up for a lil pick up truck or some little part getter.

OOOO! and your tags/reg will be cheeper too! i could pay aprox 25 dollars for just plain plates....for two years... but its like 80 or so all said and done with her plates now. we have enough know-how between everyone in the club to give ideas!

another (silly) plus to old cars... if anything catastrophyic happens, you computers wont be scrambled in you old car!

[hpmotzd]

I still have my truck, so i am ok there. My car isnt my daily driver so its just excess that has to go right now. There are a lot of cost savings to doing this and I will definately be picking everyones brains for ideas and help. I hate having to sell her, but at the same time, this will be a good, fun alternative.

[1966PonyGirl]

very true!

[FalconGTHO]

Wow, changes abound. Sorry to hear youre forced to sell Bryn. And as for Kev, thats an even bigger shock considering all youve done and talked about doing.

[Rev'n Kevin]

Not really that big of a shock, I've done about everything you can do to a 95 GT Conv., and now I pretty much can't get out of it, what I've got into it, so why do more. I've always had older muscle cars and I just would like to get another, like I said I'm going to be very picky, when the right one comes along, I'll get it, in the mean time, I will continue to enjoy my GT, and when someone offers me the right price, well say-la-vee.

[Mr. Austin]

Kev what ever happened to the white mustang you were seeking it didnt look like a bad car?!? i remember you talking about you going to get one did the deal fall through?

[maddme]

Seems like alot of people that I know are getting more afordable rides. Good luck to all of you looking for new direction. I may just look for a 69 or 70 also.:hi:

[maddme]

How was the Tortilla Flats run? I wish that I could have come; sounds like it was fun. What other events are planned for the club these days? I see that there is the Wild West shootout on Oct 11. Just 1 day after the B-day sounds like a blast.:woot2:

[Blown66]

Yeah they had a great time...I guess they turned it into a poker run and had a blast. Rick said it was one of the best he had been on.

On the 9th we are going to have a pool party...are you on the mailing list? If not drop me an email with your addy.

[Mr. Austin]

dANG I WISH I COULD HAVE GONE!! the flatts look fun! i will be coming back the vally on thursday and i shall be seeing most of you most likely on friday at the Cruise.

[1966PonyGirl]

ill be driving back from CO. this thursday, see ya guys friday!

[maddme]

Yeah they had a great time...I guess they turned it into a poker run and had a blast. Rick said it was one of the best he had been on.
