Body:
Thanks for the good vibes, Anthony!
People have asked me to write abook, with all of my knowledge in it
of these cars, BUT after investigating the cost(SS) to do so, I
realized it was a great way to lose much money! The necessary volume
just isn't there! I hope to live long enough to surpass 90% of the
asc/McLarens still running, and by that time nobody will much care.
I
hope that all the 100s & 100s of people that have telephoned me, e-
mailed me and thru this medium will take the info and pass it on and
on and on. THAT is better than just doing it for money! Spreading
the word to interested people, THAT'S the thing.

There are 100s of companies eager to take your money and sell you
items to mod your Fox-Bodied car. There is absolutely no shortage
there of ideas, (both in error and correct) of gaining more
performance, better handling, etc, etc on these cars - but since
there is little money involved, and no real "profit" (dirty word -
unless it's YOUR profit, or so it seems these days), to spread the
information as to how these cars would/should be restored to OEM
specs, so THAT is what I try to do. I have always said "It's YOUR
car, make it how YOU want it to be". But, some of us would like to
keep them OEM original, and for those among us, there is no source of
info, as there is little to no profit in it.

I will add to my newest McLaren that system that will allow an on-
board CD changer, providing it does not alter anything permanently.
Should it damage the stock stereo, I have called & found that they
are still available for the 1993 Mustang, (which is the same as the
1990), so it could be replaced. Other than that it will remain as
seen on page 95 of the book, "FORD MUSTANG" ~ by Mike Mueller.
