@@stickmansgarage9452 I built the former SSP coupe featured on my KZbin page, the Smog Legal Killer in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords when Evan was there--he's another legend in the industry in my eyes! I like everything you're posting, keep it up! Thanks!

And thanks, we like the channel too, Curtis. This is fun. Saw your other comment in the Inbox, couldn’t find it to respond. Smh...

[@donalddarnell7467]

The guy in the black shirt with the pony on it is Evan Smith , he used to write for 5.0 magazine before it changed names. That guy is awesome I've learned a ton reading his stuff.

[@stickmansgarage9452]

donald darnell THAT’S Evan Smith?! Damn, shoulda got his autograph...😃 Be sure to check out & subscribe to his channel, REVan Evan, part of the UTG Universe Donald, if you remember the early days of 5.0 Mustang magazine, were you around to read Cars Illustrated?

Hey Neil, I just saw this on my way in to work... looking forward to seeing the movie in its entirety on Uncle Tony’s channel. Cool that you still have your ‘87!

[@stickmansgarage9452]

Dude, quit watching KZbin while driving! Thanks. Gonna be epic!

[@j-port8818]

This is a throwback! I read about all you guys! Still have my 89LX and my 79 Cobra! Although life has taken over I still have them and they both run! Will be watching for more!

[@stickmansgarage9452]

Jeffrey G Porter -State Police- JGP (that’s you), did you read Cars Illustrated, too?

[@j-port8818]

@@stickmansgarage9452 yup. Just found your video's! I never got those issues. My first issue of MM&FF was the one with the Yellow 85 on the cover. I always read about them and looked at shows for copies but never found them. I have years of MM&FF in a plastic bin.

[@stickmansgarage9452]

@@j-port8818 Cars Illustrated was a trip. Back issues are around, but not always easy to find. Guys guard them with their lives

[@TravelExperiences]

Great Work my Friend! Always here to support you! I wish you a nice Day!

[@281cobracar7]

My first brand new car was a red 85 Mustang GT 5-speed with 3:08 gears and t-tops and no ac, because racecar. I've been a 5.0 man ever since. And yes I remember Cars Illustrated magazine.

[@stickmansgarage9452]

I’m glad you got to enjoy CI. But doesn’t that make you old? lol Not necessarily as old as me, but still...

[@281cobracar7]

Yeah, I started out in high school with a base model 70 Challenger. The 383 hipo engine was the only option. Got rid of it because of the 9 mpg option.

[@OuzoLouGarage]

Watching this make me miss my Mustang that my brother has now.

[@stickmansgarage9452]

Time for another one, man!

[@OuzoLouGarage]

@@stickmansgarage9452 I get another one after the kid done with College. Keep up the great work on the videos

[@justaguy2738]

You guys gained a bunch of subscribers quick ! hope the channel really blows up!

[@CanIbeFrank]

Tony is funny. Has a reference to show but has the wrong magazine in his pocket lol

[@randalcoffman1979]

Wow ask bernie I still have a lot of my old magazines I would read the ask Bernie collum to try to find out some of the problems I was having with my Stang’s

[@brunotulliani]

Keep the videos coming! Great fun!

[@stickmansgarage9452]

Thanks for watching!

[@brunotulliani]

@@stickmansgarage9452 No problem and I hope your channel launches like a 5-0!

[@Jpilgrim30]

Hilarious. When I was young and my Aunt was dating my uncle he had a black 5.0 and he wore shirts similar to that as well!

[@stickmansgarage9452]

Well we’re nothing if not tuned into the fashions of those times

[@krystal2515]

I love mustangs and everything ford. I am brand loyal. It’s funny mustangs got almost too popular and almost not cool anymore because everyone else had one. There’s a reason. They are the best muscle car ever made. Great content and video. Would love a longer one. Keep it up

[@stickmansgarage9452]

We’ll talk more about this subject In the mid 80s the 1st Gen Camaro was considered the Me Too! Car. Seemed everyone raced one, had one, wanted one. The GM guys quickly jumped on the opportunity to turn that around on us as soon as the 5.0 cars started popping up everywhere. Many driven by former Chevy guys tired of getting beat in their IROCs

[@krystal2515]

Lol. I love it. I haven’t thought about iroc in a long time. I’m subbed and notified just waiting for another video. Thanks again.

[@SVTAdamSVT]

fun to watch even the second time!

[@stickmansgarage9452]

I know, right?

[@charlieryan1736]

You guys made History 👍🏻

[@stickmansgarage9452]

charlie ryan Yeah, we kinda did. It was very cool. Especially, having grown up hearing & reading about the 60/70s muscle car era, factory drag teams, performance clinics & magazine drag tests. We got to live our own version of that, make great friends and share it all with you guys. Charlie, did you read Cars Illustrated?

[@charlieryan1736]

Stick Man's Garage Im 44 years old and used to read MM&Fast Fords & Evan Smith made constant references about you and Tony. I really loved that Tony & you were local guys and had the car world scratching their heads wondering how the hell are these guys making 15-16 second cars go into the low 13s!! 💪🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

[@stickmansgarage9452]

charlie ryan Thanks Charlie. But they WEREN’T 15-16 second cars. That’s the point. They were 13-14 second cars depending on the location & conditions. Ford gave us unexpected torque & horsepower in a cheap package. All we did was apply proven drag race principles to the cars and report the results

[@stickmansgarage9452]

charlie ryan Still got a Mustang, Charlie?

[@charlieryan1736]

Stick Man's Garage you guys were going more than a second faster than everyone that’s what blew me away about you guys 👍🏻

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Nice.

[@hs400]

Cool!

[@HairBandDan]

What clutch y’all recommend for a big block Chevy with 500+ Horse I have already used McLeod super street and its worthless

[@stickmansgarage9452]

Talk to the guys at RAM clutches. Give them all the details on the car & how you enjoy it (how hard you drive it). If the car is heavy and/or you use sticky tires you’ll need a “real” clutch, not some HD street replacement.

[@mikegager]

Do you know what happened to the Xcaliber (or Excaliber) mm&ff project car?

[@stickmansgarage9452]

It was sold years ago

[@mustanlab302]

Love those foxbodys baby

[@joeyvoyles5548]

Is that the mustang back in the mustang magazines like he would shift with flip flops on?

[@stickmansgarage9452]

Joey Voyles Different car. You can see the separate Mean Mr Mustang video over on Uncle Tony’s Garage
