The new one will help me get over it
old & new pics;

I think I did heard about several bank robberies in your area.

Super nice car, congrats, I havn't seen one in person yet.


I did see 2 2011 Shebly GT-350's at a car show. suprisingly only 1 placed in their class.


PS I've read on several forums that Ford is lookin very closely at the new 5.0 mustangs for any mods and are refusing warrenty work it any is discovered. They can even tell if a tune has been installed and pulled back out.

Hey Scottie did you install all those aftermarket parts you got for your car. In this 95+ heat it took me 2 days to install my new Chamber/Caster plates. I'm going for a alignment this morning. Also I've been reading about how the Raptor's have been bending their frames.

I have brought a kit to help strength the weak part of the frame. Just havn'y installed it yet.

Wanting to pull my camper up to silver lake someday but I'm getting tired of all the 70 hour work weeks. Vacation time is used up doing chores around the house to keep caught up.

No all my parts are still laying in the garage. Been so busy at work and the home projects are taking all my time. And I agree I wouldn't want to be laying under the car in these temps anyway.

Darrel, did I miss the Michiana Mustangs show today? I saw an above average number of mustangs spanning all generations on the bypass around 4oclock.

I went to Columbus, OH in the middle of July for the yearly gathering for my other car club. We had a dyno day at Dyno Tune Motorsports, here are my results:



A few hp and about 11 ft-lbs down from the 316.4 I did at Brenspeed in January, which I will blame on the ridiculously hot weather, and I had my heavy 20" wheels on this time. The guy running the dyno said my car was running a bit rich, so I may be able to pick some power up if Brenspeed agrees and adjusts my tune.

Here are three youtube videos of my car on the dyno:

I love the guys at Brenspeed and their tunes are always on the safe side. And I am not knocking them for that. But others will tune a bit more on the aggressive side with very positive results. While I still have Brenspeed's custom dyno tune in my tuner I have been running the "all out" tune from AM for about a year and love the hell out of it!!

Yeah I am doing good. It has been a fun day since I am limited on what I can do at work since everything I do requires both hands.

I would have figured you would have said something about the hand issue part

If you wanna see it I can post some pics.
