New guy here

Longshotluck · 10-16-2009, 07:49 PM

Hey everyone just found VMF a few days ago and have been asking questions in the main forum but I figure I should post and say hi here since I am in the NW. Spokane to be exact.

So hi

I guess I should post about the car I have to. Its a 68 GT/CS I have had it for 6 years and just got it to spokane to start working on it. I bought it before I joined the Army and have not been able to touch it until now.

It needs some work but it will get there. Anyone know any decently priced paint/body people in Spokane?

Welcome!

Welcome to the VMF! I have a brother and sister-in-law based in Ft. Lewis there in Washington when they're not deployed.

Sorry that I can't advise you on body shops in your area but I just wanted to say, "Welcome!".

Welcome to the PNW Mustang group, GT/CS's our neat cars. Had a few of them. Currently have a fake convertible one. Might talk with Andy up there about paint. He may know someone. 924-9824 He is in Green Acres. Restores mustangs.

Andy always rubbed me the wrong way...

K&M Unibody is FANTASTIC.

Northwest Sandblasting & Paint is who i'm looking at for glass blasting and priming my car.

Master Blasters is a very reputable blasting shop but they do no paint work and are a bit on the spendy side.

Welcome. There aren't too many of us from Spokane.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I did find a local guy to do the paint and body. Hope he does a good job!

So would you be jumping for joy or smoking a camel if he rubbed you the right way?

Less than 10 posts to get this WAY OT.

It's called skill or my mind is always in the gutter.

You've got skill?

Where?

lemonshindig · 11-06-2009, 12:14 PM

Well Andy rubs counter-clockwise.

I much prefer clockwise. That would be the 'right way'

Stopped by Andy's it seemed ok I asked about doing an AOD conversion and he quoted me 2400ish for one does that seem fair?

Longshotluck · 11-07-2009, 12:30 PM

Also I was looking at doing a 5 speed conversion via a kit. Does anyone know of someone skilled enough to do the work for me for a decent price?

ken_schall · 11-11-2009, 04:47 PM

I did the TKO 600 conversion kit on mine.....auto to 5 speed....made a different car out of it! Best mod I've done.....
