1001 now :metal: I don't watch the count to closely Scott but how's the vacation coming.

Tom I just won a stock alternator for 53 bucks on ebay. Now if I could just find a stock motor for around 100 to play with.

Hey Darrell,
The vacation is going great. I know I sound like a broken record but 86 degrees and totally sunny today. Tomorrow is supposed to be a carbon copy day. This has been an awesome week!!!!:metal:I really don't want to come back. Maybe we will just move a little to the north and sponge off John for a week!!!!:jester:

I got gas !...I wish I could get 4 bucks a gallon for it !

Good deal on the alternator.... 'grats.:nice:

Just tell me where the spare keys are, I'll take care of the house........

Thanks for the votes all.


Great price on that alt. Almost want to pick one up for when mine dies.


Sorry to hear your vacation is coming to an end, it goes by to darn fast.

I think the term Cult member might be more appropriate....:jester:

well....I think everything is moved into the house/garage...now its all about unpacking....hopefully the wife does it while I'm at work..lol...

Glad to hear everything is going well for you Cody. :nice:

I am on vacation from work right now, everything is going well. I fixed 2 cars that needed repairs, one was quite a big job--lower intake gaskets on a 3.4 Chevy Impala. The car runs good though, I'm glad it's all done. I need to take a look at the Escort for a problem in the left front, possibly a ball joint or wheel bearing is bad. I also got my compass/temp mirror on Wednesday, I will do that install this week too. :grin:

Sounds like your having a very productive vacation......whats wrong with you Justin ?...:poke::jester:

Hey Guys,
Well made it back home. Really had a perfect week on the beach. Wore shorts and a short sleeve shirt home and am freezing my butt off. It is 55 degrees with a 20-25 mph wind here. Burrrr.. Rough flights home. Rode up the back bone of that big storm system all the way. I really don't like to fly much.:shame:
Cody...glad to hear you got everything under one roof now.

Justin...glad you got your mirror. They tried to deliver mine today but required a signature and no one was home. So hope I can hook up with them on Monday.

STD...How's it hangin' bro? :D

What's Tom up to today and where the heck has Larry and Ben been lately? :dunno:

Scott

mmmmmm chopped liver here:poke:

HeHe glad you're back from your vacation and sharing the cold with us again.

How could I ever forget you Darrell. :wub: I hope you didn't go camping this weekend. Burrrr..... When is your next car show??

Missed one today, I had to cover for a Vacation day at work. The daily evening Cruises started May 1st. Everynight of the week you can go to certain drive-ins for a car show. The best is Sunday night at a old Ice cream joint called Bonnie Doon's. They fit about 60 cars in a 20 car parking lot and they have a traveling DJ that plays 50's, 60's and 70's music out of a trailer that he has sit up as a Radio DJ's Booth. Here are some pictures from last year.

been busy today............ :grin:

not helping my move thats for sure....

what city is this?

Morning guys. Full day of grass mowing and cleaning up. Got to go get some of that $4.50/gal diesel fuel first. :mad:

The big metropolis of South Bend:D

Scott, glad to see your home safe and sound...well safe anyway..:poke::p

Darrel, those shoulder pads look good ! whats that stick behind the drivers seat about ?.....pool cue ?... mop handle ?.. is that part of your Gambler theme ...

Gave Kim her Mother's Day gift early- one of those 3 person swings with canopy, etc. for the patio. Matches the rest of our furniture out there, etc. Hoping that buys me some free time today. :D

California Duster handle.

I think I know what you brought but is this close????

Attachment 57729



:doh::screwy::rofl2:

Ohhh man Darrell.:eek: But I got to give you the :poke:of the day award!! But that must be the cheap model. I don't see a canopy.
Scott:nice:

Close....... we bought the 3 person model.

:confused: I ain't going there.:D

You know, for when her sister and friend visits from Cali........ :rofl2:

Ohh..I was thinkin along the lines of Homer and Bubba.:jester: Oopps...I guess I went there afterall.

I started installing my mirror today, got the sensor mounted and started routing the wiring for it, and mounted the mirror. I also ran the power wiring for it, just need to hook it up. I will finish that up on Tuesday most likely. I'll be busy helping to clean the house tomorrow.

Good luck. Good to see you didn't break the windshield!
Heading to the drive in movie theater to see Iron Man, looks like a killer movie.
Good night for a drive in too, weather wise and no mosquitoes yet.
Also Ruins is playing, if I can stay up for it after Iron Man

Yeah, no kidding. I was happy when the mirror came right off so easily. I was very careful and had no trouble. :nice:

Hey Justin.....any tips on getting the stock mirror off???
Scott

Hey John,
I haven't been to a drive in about 25 years. I don't want to tell you what was on my mine the last time I was at a drive in. :jester: P.S. I can't remember what the movie was.:doh:
Scott

I'm sure its more difficult at your age......



:rofl2:

Gettin anything off at my age is more work than it used to be!!!!!!:doh:

Ok in all seriousness though, the mirror does seem like a good mod. I had thought about it, but couldn't pull the trigger.

6000 posts. My wife wishes I talked to her as much as I type to you guys.

bump

LOL!



This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 24 seconds.

Congrats Tom...... 6000 posts is alot.:metal:I think I would take her to the new swing tonight and spend more than 6 minutes to celebrate!!!!!!!:jester:

I think the easiest way to explain is with a picture. I edited the photo with a few arrows to show where to pry with a thin flat blade screwdriver. Do this very carefully though. It may be necessary to pry on the other side of this piece as well.

:lol:...

quiet day...... :poke:

Just got to work, 2 days left before Fun n Sun!
Havent packed or nothing yet, guys do this 1 hour before anyway.

Thanks Justin. But I have to admit being a little confused still. I have had people tell me there is a spring clip up it the back of the mirror that needs to be compressed than the mirror slides up and off. And than their is post 36 in this thread http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...=467316&page=2 which would seem to suggest something similar. In your picture it looks like you are prying a cover of sorts. I have never really taken a good look at the mirror yet. So is there a spring clip up in there? I am still trying to hook up with the UPS guy since he needs a signature. Missed him again today. :banghead:
Scott

OK Looking to do something with my side view mirrors. I have scene people around here who have sanding their stock mirrors and painted them. Most don't match and look terrible. So here are some of the options I found.

:dunno::dunno::dunno:

I would think choice "D" would be a shoe in with you....Mr Carbon Fiber.:jester:

But personally I like choice "A" since they are retro and look like the mirrors on my 70 Mach 1. But what I can tell you is they are alot smaller mirror and are hard to see out of. Remember they are a throw back to the 70's.

Hey all!
Still around, I just was busy for a few weeks & had a week to recover now.

The daughters wedding was great:nice: She had a grin ear-to-ear all day. We had to teach these Ohio folks how to throw a classic western PA wedding;lots to eat & drink & plenty of dancing.

Still waiting for my tax rebate so's I can finally get those prothenes & sequential taillights.
Did pick up a set of new Eibach sway bars for a steal. Installed the rear bar & have to get the front bolted up yet. Noticed an improvement with just the rear on.

Hoping to get to the spring dyno day @ Brenspeed, not definate for me yet.

Scott,
Glad you had a nice vacation,spring is about the best time to visit FL.

Cody,
Congrats on your move-in:nice:

Even though it's not Mustang related,have to throw in a pic of the new bride & my new son-in-law.

Hey Larry,
I thought you forgot us.:jester: Glad the wedding went well. :nice: I know it's taken up alot of your time this last month. Let me know when you get the Prothanes and sequentials...we can get together for the install if you want too. Also keep me in the loop about dyno day at Brenspeeds. I will make the trip if others from the Midwest forum are going but so far I don't see much interest this time. That is 7 hrs of driving round trip for us. I don't care about putting my car on the dyno this time but will come for sure for a meet and greet with the Midwest guys. :nice: Who all of you guys might make it this time??? :dunno:
Scott

Scott, there was no spring clip on my mirror when I removed it, it looks completely different from the one in that other thread.

Thanks Justin....:dunno: I need to get my new mirror and get more involved is this removal process. Thanks for the help.
Scott

No problem. :nice: I'll be finishing my install tomorrow, just need to wire it up. I picked up an add-a-fuse today from the parts store since I don't like using the little metal ones that jam in there with an existing fuse.

Thompson (NE Ohio) starts Wednesday night "Grudge Racing" this week.

Anyone going?

Scott, I'll probably go to the dyno day. LIkely won't run the car, but still.....

Enfynet, thanks for posting! :nice:

congrats Aircare

Three women: one engaged, one married, and one a mistress, are
chatting about their relationships and decide to amaze their
men....that night all three will wear a leather bodice S&M style,
stilettos and mask over their eyes
After a few days they meet again.....

The engaged girlfriend said: "The other night, when my boyfriend came
back home, he found me in the leather bodice, 4" stilettos and mask.
He said, "You are the woman of my life, I love you...then we made love
all night long."

The mistress stated: "Oh Yes! The other night we met in his office. I
was wearing the leather bodice, mega stilettos, mas k over my eyes and
a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat, he didn't say a word. We just
had wild sex all night."

The married one then said: "The other night I sent the kids to stay at
my mother's for the night, I got myself ready, leather bodice, super
stilettos and mask over my eyes.
My husband came in from work , grabbed the TV controller and a beer,
and said, "Hey Batman, what's for dinner?"


good stuff

:lol::lol::lol:

hahhahahaaa

We will just stay in touch over the next few weeks.:nice:

Well, I bit the bullet and took the Mustang in for some Warranty work. Mine is up in June. I printed out the TSB's for the dead battery and fuel pump issues. I made it clear to the service manager and tech that I keep the car clean and to be very careful. I suppose I am paranoid from some of the stories I have read on the forums about bad (service) experiences at the dealerships.

I already had the rear seat pulled out for them. They replaced the fuel pumps, and the battery tested bad so I got a new one. (Wasn't expecting that) And they reprogrammed the Air Bag controller per the recall. I was impressed that they did not leave a mark on the car. So I left some positive feedback on the voice mail of the dealership's owner.

You guys seen these two hoods from Cervini's?

I'll add a couple more funnies to Glenn's -

A man and a woman who had never met before, but were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a
transcontinental train.

Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were
both very tired and fell asleep quickly... he in the upper bunk and she in the
lower.

At 1:00 AM, the man leaned over and gently woke the woman saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."

"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let's pretend
that we're married."

"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.

"Good," she replied. "Get your own f___-ing blanket."

After a moment of silence, he farted.
____

And another classic -

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey.
He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey
jumps all around the place.

The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them.
Then he grabs some sliced limes and eats them. He then jumps
onto the pool table and grabs one of the billiard balls.

To everyone's amazement, he sticks it in his mouth, and
somehow swallows it whole.

The bartender screams at the guy, 'Did you see what your
monkey just did?'

'No, what?'

'He just ate the cue ball off my pool table... whole!'

'Yeah, that doesn't surprise me,' replied the guy,
'he eats everything in sight. Sorry! I'll pay for the
cue ball and stuff.'

The guy finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the
stuff the monkey ate and leaves.

Two weeks later the guy is in the bar again, and has his
monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts
running around the bar again. While the man is finishing
his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar.
He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.
T h en the monkey finds a peanut, and again sticks it up his butt,
Pulls it out, and eats it.

The bartender is disgusted. 'Did you see what your
monkey did now?'

'No, what?' replied the man.

'Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry and a peanut up his butt,
pulled them out, and ate them!' said the bartender.

'Yeah, that doesn't surprise me,' replied the guy. 'He still
eats everything in sight, but ever since he had to poop that cue ball,
he measures everything first.'

Submerged computer?

:lol::lol: Funny stuff

Hey Chris,
I am glad to hear your dealer experience went so well. :nice:

I got my mirror done today, very pleased with how easy it was to install and calibrate. I put the temp sensor up near the radiator, clipped to the support. It seems to be reading within a few degrees of what it should, so I'm happy with its location. :nice:

Good for you Justin. I missed the UPS guys for three straight days. Now I can pick up my mirror at the main UPS terminal tomorrow after work. Also Justin did you get the "M" wire harness on your mirror? On the Gentex mirror thread guys are saying that the "M" harness does not have a cover for the wires. Which I thought was the whole point of getting the "M" harness. What does yours look like?:dunno:
Scott

good jokes.......

went and voted today.

All packed, flight leaves at 6am for Sunny Florida. :banana:

Its such a relief to be on vacation I tell ya.
Ill keep you guys up to date of course with pics.
The g/f is bringing her webcam, so if she can get it setup Ill post a link to that also.

have fun john

Hey Scott, the wires for the temp sensor have the plastic tubing covering most of it, but that's the only cover I see. I was figuring the plastic covers for the windshield side would be there but they aren't. I just looked around and found a full set of wire covers for the windshield and part of another set. If I can find the other pieces I would be happy to send them to you.

Let me guess.....:p:bad::bad::doh::mad::mad::D. Is that the full range on emotions???

Thanks Glenn!

Good jokes:D

Scott,
I'll let you know as it gets closer.

John,
Enjoy your trip:nice:

pics of the wife :D:D j/k have a great time web cam = awsome idea. Where in fl are you going?

for whom?? seeing how you brought it up :poke:

MGW shifter came today.
Holy overengineering, Batman! I Love it!
I will install it this weekend perhaps.

Everyone that has the MGW shifter sure seems to like them. Good luck on the install.

The winner, of course..... :p

Nice piece. :banana:

How much are the shifters? Expensive?

The MGW shifter is $295. I plan to get one sometime too. http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang2005_shifter

Women's Love Poem

Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to 'how big is my behind?'
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And always be my very best friend.

Mens Love Poem

I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with
huge boobs who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and hunting. This
doesn't rhyme and I don't give a ****.

:lol::lol: That's good, I like that. :nice:

Hey guys!....still unpackin boxes...I had to buy a new dryer last night cause I hahd a gas one and did not have a gas line where I needed it...so im sporting the electric dryer now...now dont forget to buy your momma's Morthers day gifts!

When you find her I want her twin sister!!!!!!!!:jester:

Hey Justin,
I finally got my mirror tonight and have it about 3/4 of the way installed. I am really confused why we spent $10 extra for the "M" wire harness. I also did not get any kind of wire cover with my mirror. I am not sure what is up but it's not really a big deal as I will make something out of black Delrin to hide the wires. :dunno:
Scott

Ha, I'm divorced, how else could I get a Mustang!


Web cam is up, I'm pretty toasted. No time for typing, more drinking!
http://www.justin.tv/stonetress

Hey John......whats the weather like down there??

It's not a big deal to me either, I found a wire cover I had on hand to use, so I'm happy. :grin:
