Hello,
I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm an old man who never quite grew up when it comes to cars. My daily driver is a 1978 Fairmont powered by an injected 5.0 out of a 1993 Mustang LX. I'm using the seats, dash, console, steering wheel, column, computer, harness and fuel system. It's basically a late model Mustang with Fairmont sheet metal. Last year a replaced the AOD with a T-56. What a difference in the fun factor! I'll shut up now. Thanks, Ken.

Thanks guys. When is the show at Berge? Are you going to do the cruise on Main next Saturday? Here is the interior when it still had the AOD (and the typical broken ash tray door).

That sounds familiar.........Latemodel Restoration Supply has the needed fix kit. Get two, if Fairmonts are like Fox Mustangs, the ash tray doors are two ways: Those that need to be fixed, and those that will need to be fixed.

About 40 cars (and trucks). Let's keep the pre-registrations rolling in. It makes it easier for us to lay out the show if we know how many vehicles are attending.
And we have a new post card that we mail out with your registration number on it. Pull up to the pre-reg lane and get your goody bag then you're on your way to parking.
That's the truth, I would love to see it there. I wonder how many car's have registered so far?
