Sorry buddy, I could not resist. Don't worry, It happens to the best of us.

By the way, you need to talk some people into retiring, I am still number 1 on the waiting list and this pro-ration crap is killing me.

Thanks,

It really is like an addiction. You can never have too many and
then you get "modification disease" LOL

But I do not want a cure for it

I spent my day off washing, waxing and detailing the 92 today.
I enjoy it I couldn't think of a better way to spend a day off other than
a Mustang show LOL

Very nice! What's the scoop on the headlight covers? I noticed an old bumper I have for an early FOX has some small brackets right inside the headlight 'cavity' for mounting something like that. kennyg

Too bad those are likely to get you into trouble around here. I also like those on the 86-87 Buick GN/T-Types.

It helps with down-force on the track... and looks cool too! Although when my Fox was street-legal I got pulled over by the CHP because of the headlight covers; so yes, use wisely.

I am the Highway Patrol! The covers come off at night. Mostly they were used at shows.

CHP...? If so, I wish it had been you driving by me on that bright sunny summer day, I might not have gotten hassled!
