It was in the parking garage of my gym. No cameras out there.

It is pretty darn deep actually. The scratch goes past the paint. It's gonna have to be repainted I think.

Also I think you said you could make numbers for me racing in SCCA solo.
If so how much for the number "55" 8 inches tall in white and the letters "SM" 4 inches tall for both sides. Magentic or removeable vinyl. Or could you place the numbers and letters in a white circle with black lettering??.
1st race is the 22nd of this month at the Tire Rack. Thanks
Thanks for the offer! I am going to check with a couple body shops when I have some spare time, probably next week monday will be the soonest i'll be able to check. Probably gurley leep since thats where I get oil changes etc done.. And gates has a body shop right across the street from gurley leep. Other than that the only project I have to work on is figure out why the mounting/hanging brackets coming off my Borla Stingers bang into the body of the car every time I hit a bump..

I will check on the lettering on Tuesday. I think a circle magnet with the numbers and letters would look pretty nice. So the numbers need to be 8 inches tall and the letters 4 inches?

Are you sure it's the hangers or is it the over-axle pipes? If it's the hangers, you may need to trim a little of them off, or shorten the midpipe. If it's the over-axle pipes, mine did this after my first install and I just needed to rotate them differently, then adjust the muffler connection so that the mufflers were straight again.

Hmmm... Good point. I didn't think about the over axle pipe. I will be sure to check that.

lol yeah they're still in the hangers. I will check it all on Wednesday. I a, gonna replace the clamps holding the mufflers to the over axle pipe as well. I originally bought band clamps and I think they may not be tight enough. So I am going to replace with u bolts.

Well at least you have a cooler in there with you. You can at least stay hydrated properly with your favorite beverage.

Why yes it does stand for Slow Mustang. At the last club meeting they talked about buying some new timing equipment. For the Dodge Challinger class they brought a new Calender.

Hahahaa good ones ladies!

Speaking of the Challenger, I started modding it a little bit the other week with a Hurst shifter and it works very well on that car! Have a Predator tuner, C&L intake, thermostat, and a Hop Not kit ready to install this weekend. I may throw a 85 or 90 mm throttle body on it too. And I'm slowing piecing together an audio system for it, I already unlocked the head unit so that DVD playback and full in-motion nav controls are available. Been looking at head/cam packages which have been proven to add over 100 rwhp (total ~450 to 475) but probably will wait until next year for that.

Let me know if you want me to order that. I'll also need your phone #. It'll look great.
