My cousin (grabbinanstabbin) referred me to the forum. I am new to Fords. I just got an 86 T top hatchback that I'm trying to put together. I'll be looking for parts in the next couple months to get it on the road. If any of you race in Steele, you may see me in my turquiose 78 Malibu from time to time on Friday nights. Stop to say hi or grab a lane.

No Hemi, lol. Just a typical 355 with a 292 cam.

Thanks for the welcome. I do post as toms78bu on yb. Paint is still on the to-do list for the Malibu, along with finishing my AFR headed, solid roller 408 to go in it. I bought the car rolling with the ugly paint job. It is originally a black car. I don't have a camera right now to take pics of my Mustang. Just imagine an 86 hatchback with t-tops in gray primer sitting nose up because there is no motor in it. My cousin already painted the engine bay and all the jambs in metallic gray, but I'd like to go black. Still debating.

BTW, why is it that there are 960 plus threads in the pushrod tech section and I only see 5 of them? lol.

I think there is a setting to not display threads more than X days old. May want to dig around in your settings and see if that is the case.
