So is anyone doing anything to their Stangs? I completed putting on my BMR adjustable panhard brace this past weekend. My next mod will most likely Roush rear lower control arms. I think it is interesting that the mods most guys did first I am doing last. Beats me but I have never ever had any wheel hop from doing a burnout. So what is everyone else up too?

Nothing as of now. New tires are coming and possibly gears and a tuner if I can.

Hey tom, where did you run off to?

Nothing here either. I got a price this weekend for painted 'ghost' stripes on the Mustang. $2,400. So that's gonna be a while before it happens.

Otherwise I'm probably putting the stock grille back on with tinted fogs and a black pony. That's about it.

Oh. I want a new hood, but that's expensive too. I need money. 3 project cars = $$$

Well, since you ask, just got some 4.10s and GT500 wheels/tires on my 2006 GT a few weeks ago!! Thinking of replacing my rattle prone JLT intake with an OEM '08 Bullitt one I bought.

AND... Like a moron, I bought a 22k mile '93 Cobra from my neighbor to replace mine that I sold last summer!

Thanks! Will do shortly.

FYI, I'm selling an extra set of wheels/tires that I have. Semi-forged super light weight ones for the S197 guys.

Anyone doing the Speed Inc open house on May 8th? I'm catching a flight that morning or else I'd go.

I did the J and M lower arms first, needed them to get rid of the wheel hop these cars have from the factory.

I might be looking for a new job sometime soon, I shouldn't say too much right now though, need to let the union do what it can for me, so I'll explain later once whatever is going to happen is all over with. Needless to say, I am in a bit of trouble.

Scott, I really have no idea what these corporate people are thinking. All I know is, they have it out for me at the moment and its not good. I'm seriously tempted to apply for another job and see if I get it, then voluntarily quit and move on. I do want to give the union a chance to help though. The whole situation involves a vehicle I worked on. That's probably about all I should say for the time being.
