I use them exclusively for my wide white radial projects and won't buy anywhere else.

Thanks! I will try that!

Okay, so I am slowly getting my Tang to a place that I like. It's not done, but another stage is done.

This is all part of my BOSS PONY 245® package that I am inventing.

I took my spoiler and painted it to match my scoop. Like I said, I am not done. (not sure if one is ever done, really)

These are two quick shots, better ones will follow. It was a pretty cloudy day, today.

AH, my Badges came in on Friday, from www.autobadges.com.

Here they are, on Boaz!




Nicely done, if I do say so! Thans to Erick Valdez for getting them done!

And in front of my house:

It just keeps getting hotter and hotter mang. I LIKE IT!!!

[PhoenixRising]

I got my AGENT 47 mirrors in the mail on Wednesday, and put them on.







Not only do they look better then the ‘truck’ sized ones that were on there, they are more aerodynamic, and offer less noise inside the cabin, which is an added bonus. They are made from the same materials as the Ford stock ones, which makes you wonder why Ford just doesn’t put them on in the first place.

[PhoenixRising]

It's a long story. But let me say, to make it short, that sometimes two flats can result in a new set of wheels.





More pictures to come, but yeah, I got HOT WHEELS on my Mustang.

I need to take a good profile shot in the daytime.

Boaz is now the wrong name for this car.....it should be TJ Jr, as this car gets as many new toys as a 5 year old does!
Gotta give you a hard time, TJ......you might as well enjoy it, as you can't take it with you!

Here are some from today; it was about to rain up a serious storm, so I did them quick. I need to find a better day to do it.

TJ JR? No, no...that won't work. Besides, as you said, you can't take it with you. And here is the long story on how this mod came about.

I had noticed a few days ago, my tread on my rear tires starting to look a bit balding. Not bad, but I could tell in a month or so, I would need new ones. Tires that is. So I was driving around the local tire shops, pricing tires. Seems that the tires I would need for my MUSTANG would run around $150.00 a piece, give or take. Yikes. But what you gonna do; you need tires.

So, on the way up home, going up Corporate drive, heading west, into the sun (this is all important information), I took notice of a pick up with a sign that said something about a pool service, I happened to notice flying off the truck, was a board which landed in front of my car, on the right side of the road.

Now, campers, you should know this happened as I was staring into the late afternoon sun (after a partly cloudy day no less), going up a slight hill, two lanes, with a slight drop off on the shoulder. So I could not swerve left, nor really right. I just held the car steady, and missed the board from hitting the car, but not from the board (and the nails on embedded in it), from hitting my passenger side tires. POP POP! Was the sound I heard. It forced me off the road a bit, but no harm done to the car.

I drove the short distance to the gas station on the bottom of the hill, and called Ford’s road side service, which in turn called AAA Auto service, which came and towed me to the DISCOUNT TIRE. At first glance, they said they could just replace the tires, seeing as the nails wounded the side walls. And they started to do so, but could not balance one of the wheels. It would spin lopsided every time; turns out, when I went off the road a bit, I must have dented slightly one of the rims. Dang it. Now I don’t need that, I thought. But I got lucky in a sense.

They had this manager special going on for these discounted wheels.
And if I got those, they would sell me the tires for them on half off; instead of $150.00 a tire, only $75.00 a tire. And these were GENERAL tires which are pretty nice. Better in the rain that is for sure.

So that is how Boaz got Hot Wheels. And it's a story of how one can make something good out of what might have been something bad.

WOW! definately hot mang. And yes, snap more pics as soon as you can. Bo is crying out for more pics.

I wish you could've got the license plate of that truck that lost the board, so He could've foot the bill for your tires. Anyhoo, a blessing in disguise i guess

Just found your post and read the lot.That is one awesome looking motor car.We don't get them out here in Aus.I recently saw a brand new one that a Bloke had imported and was going to lock it away.It was red with big stripes on the bonnet,a very large set of wheels and I am sure it had a 5.4lt V8 in it,which would probably be the quad cam 5.4 that we get here.Well done on all the mods you have done-really makes it unique.

[scarabY2k]

Boaz is going international.....Noyce.

Keep up the great work mang.

Why, thank you for the kind words. I really enjoy modding cars. And this one in particular, is a special car. Well, they are all special, I guess, but this one is top of the list special for me at least.

Thanks for visiting this spot on the web. Stay tuned for more.

New pics, sort of yes. Old profile location. New logo on the side. Which is not as dark in real life as it on these photos.

[scarabY2k]

DUDE!! It's about time mang. And you razz me on taking pics

Big Bo is shaping up into something special. Love the badging, the scoop, the wheels, the whole 9 mang. You've so got to get out and do your Bo some justice.

GO BOAZ!!!

[PhoenixRising]

Thanks mang! I just wonder why the 'GRABBER' looks so dark in photos, but on the car, next to the Pony logo, it's the same color...weird, right?

[scarabY2k]

That's

Can't put my finger on that one mang. All's I know is that dark or light, Boaz is one bad....... SHUT YO MOUTH!!

[squeebug]

I have to say, it looks pretty bad donkey! And I know what you mean about the tint, it's so nice having it that dark on the back but it's a heck of a time seeing out the back at night haha...now if I could just get around to doing my winders.
