Dog Bone Pt 1 | Budget Street Strip Foxbody Mustang 

Dakota Bethune Thanks man! We grew up on Chevelles. And had plenty of friends with cars like you described. The Mustang rear suspension set up - just like the Chevelles - was a welcome sight to us. We’ll talk about heavier muscle cars, too. But remember, the basics of acceleration - weight transfer, traction, low parasitic drag - apply to all cars. Sumthin’ to be learned from every car you see here

Q Can That’s a great story. Brothers can be such a pain... I’ll BET your dad was proud. What do you drive now?

Uncle Tony would like the 70 and 71 B Bodies in the garage. Both are stock cruisers.

Q Can We like them too, Q

robert white, Agreed 👍🏻

Thanks Zac. Thanks for watching. More Dog Bone coming soon. Or Maddog may bite me

Sikulz 9550 Thank you sir. So much video, so little time... Always pays to have a mentor Experience matters

Stick Man's Garage absolutely a good mentor can save so much time and money and frustration. He installed the gears in my first Fox. It’s so Great that you and Tony and Evan have channels. I dropped my subscription to MM&FF years ago, this is filling that void.

Sikulz 9550 Modern magazines have become digital. We hope to take advantage of the freedom of this medium. It’s quite refreshing!

Stick Man's Garage it’s an honor to be able to interact with the pioneers of 5.0 racing. BTW I have the issue with Tony’s 5 liters of fury, the article you did on the Monte Carlo SS was very impressive. With some very clever tweaking and tuning y’all shaved almost a second of the ET!!! That kind of stuff fires me up.

Sikulz 9550 Me too, bud. Me too. I love that stuff. So much more interesting & satisfying than just throwing stuff at a car. Especially when people shake their heads when you run fast with less than everyone else

Brian Applegate C’mon Brian, don’t hold out on us. I KNOW you have a good story. Spill!

Stick Man's Garage as a matter of fact, I DO have a great story to share, I’m waiting for you to upload it here!

Brian Applegate Don’t be like that, man! You’re soon to be all over this channel. Share a little as a teaser

Brian Applegate Or I might make you wait longer...

Stick Man's Garage I don’t have anything to post, you have all the pics & videos

Maxwelhse Let’s go, get to work! What’s next on the agenda for that ride?

Maxwelhse MUCH SOONER PLEASE!!!

@@black88coupe LOL... I'd love to, man. We'll see. I need to pump the gas out of it again (a feature I do love on the EEC-IV computer) because it's been in there too long so I'll at least likely introduce it to my channel and start it up and move it around soon. It has a full Pypes stainless exhaust and shorty headers so it sounds mean at least. Kinda like the old dog that barks and growls, but can't get off the porch to chase cats anymore. haha

Maxwelhse Get that thing running!

@@black88coupe It runs! It does need a battery though, so, I guess it's on life support... haha

Bryan Mulligan shoulda kept it

@@stickmansgarage9452, you're telling me! It ran 13.9 with 3.73 gears and off road h-pipe on street tires back in 98. I came across a 91 hatch roller with a perfect body and swapped the drive train over. I was never happy after that and it was the worst car decision I've ever made. Still regret it to this day.

Bryan Mulligan Sometimes the rose colored glasses distort our view

Love Mavericks. Sounds like fun. Even I wish you kept it. Shot my buddies Maverick for the channel. Also dark green like yours Mitch

philly fox1992 lx We hear it has quite a history

Oh yeah that car ran its ass off car orginally came from Jersey then over to us in Philadelphia we ran that car on weekends like no other there are RU-vid videos of it racing on 84th st down south philly on new year's day . Then my buddy sold it believe it went back to Jersey....I also have some killer pics of my buddy racing it at atco as well . I'm just happy to see it around still and somebody doing somthing with it .

Senia McClurg Car looks good

Senia McClurg Tell us about your first hot rod

Joseph Taverna Thank you, Joe. What can an “old timer” such as you, share about his first hot rod?

Ray Stang 👍👍👍👍👍

Ray Stang One of your brothers speaks very highly of you. Your channel looks cool, too

Ray Stang We all have our stories of stalling stick cars when we were young

@@stickmansgarage9452 Oh man, if it wasn't for my brothers giving me a hand or giving me a hand out then I probably wouldn't have a Mustang. It really takes a village lol. That is AWESOME, THANKS!!!

Ray Stang Just speaking the truth. Which often gets me in trouble. But that’s less likely here

DO IT!! And then show us what you get. What was your first hot rod, Timo?

Timo Y That’s what we are hoping to inspire in people. Buy something- build it- share it with the channel- Do burnouts- HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!!

First car back in 84 was a 78 mustang II ghia with 4 cylinder and a 4 speed, 85 was a 82 LX again with a 2.3 and a 4 speed, in 87(graduation time) 85 GT 4 speed. 89 added a 84 capri RS and a 86 capri 5.0 efi 5 speed (this is what I'm going to start looking for again) and so it went from there into late model stangs for daily drivers. In 2003 I picked up a 79 notch with 75k mi original owner Colorado car and a doner 1/4 mi car. Built my first engine from bare block to running low 12's. Had to sell it due to hard times, but now things are great again and I miss all the fun I've had crusing. (just had a great time at the Super cruse in Golden yesterday with my buddy in his 69 mach 1). I'm definitely itchy. Lol

Timo Y Nice assortment. Scratch that itch, man. SCRATCH IT! (I’m such a bad influence)

John Possum Did you remain an Olds guy John?

@@stickmansgarage9452 Nope, but I do like watching the races and its a bad time to release a video as the NHRA's are on for 3 hours on Fox. Amazing to see Brittany Force race now when I grew up watching her father race. They're blowing a lot of engines today.

John Possum Those guys always blow up. lol It’s what they do now. I remember when Force - and the rest of us - were young and he’d match race at Englishtown. These days we post when the demon technology allows. Besides, they run lots of commercials

John Possum What other cars did you/do you own?

@@stickmansgarage9452 I was most impressed by a little Datsun I owned because it had dual valve springs and wedge combustion chamber. I got it cheap when my friend botched a timing chain job. He got the tensioner wrong. One of my best cop stories happened in that car. I was coming home from my gas station job on a sunday am after pulling an all nighter. I floored it on a extremely long vacant section of hwy. About as I need to turn there are flashing lights behind me. I pause and stop a little past the entrance to the next hwy so we won't get hit by any one else. The cop gets out, huffing and puffing, this old guy with grey hair says "I had it floored and I didn't think I was going to catch you." he said as he stared hard at the little blue hood. (I kept it floored and I know I hit over 100mph. That car was so smooth there because of the rock solid rack n pinion steering.) Apparently I passed him at a bridge embankment doing 79mph. One more mph and I would have had to show up in court. But these days I have to admit I have not burned a gallon of gas in over 15 years. I live right in the very populated heart of the Twin Cities, MN and I drive a self-customized hauling radrover Ebike. I even put 536 studs on it for winter and drive it all winter long. Not only that but because I skip through a few lights I get places faster than people in cars or taxis do. I have a fleet of bikes. Been thinking about getting somewhere south for the winter so I am on the hunt to buy a car. Winters are brutal here and I had a botched TOS operation where the 1st rib was removed and left my left hand pretty useless and in a lot of bad bad nerve pain. So the weather is really hard on me. The medication is awful, too. I still like wrenching on things, though, and I still have my air tools. I'm doing a bottom bracket on a unique Y shaped Chrome Alloy MTB right now. I put chopper handlebars on it. It's full suspension so it's both very light and comfortable to ride. I do miss wrenching on cars and I'm sure any car I pick up around here is going to need something.

dawnyc75 Working on that. You have one, or run them in the past? Tell us about it? Maybe you can help us tell the FE story

Mark Sweeney We messed around with Bugs and dune buggy conversions as kids. I had a 59 with semaphore signals, a canvas sunroof and Blaupunkt radio. My first stick car. But I only “drove” it in the backyard. Abandoned that project before getting my license. Shoulda kept it

Ahhh, the powerglide in an underpowered street car. Zzzzzzzz

You never forget your first...

Boostedjasper We will be doing our best to keep the info informative and entertaining.

Hippie Miller 1/4 mile times?

@@black88coupe never had it on the track idk it was fun in town tho back in the day

Hippie Miller Sounds fun indeed!👍👍👍

Hippie Miller We had a guy with a 6 Cyl Nova with 4.88s. Only serious cars could beat him off a light

Shit Box This car might run on E85 before it gets nitrous. But who knows

Dennis Wingfield And driving them well, sir. Welcome to the world of RU-vid comments. Please stick around

@@stickmansgarage9452 "Stick" around...I see what you did there! 👍

Rob B nice!

Rob B You, sir, are a good American. Thank you for your service to the stick car community. Bet those Cruze’s never race each other, right?

A T-5 is the simplest option but don’t use one from a 2.3 application. You want a V8 trans

Demotor distributor. Only has mechanical advance. Currently 59.95

Wayne Roatche Thanks Wayne!

@@wayneroatche4946 That looks like a Pro Comp 8023. Perhaps its advance is different than the Pro Comp 7003

sbf_fox Both could be the same distributor, marketed under different names
