Shipping out today, so I should see it by next Wednesday.

This will be the last of the big $$$ mods. Next big purchase will be the wheels and tires.
Jeez... do you have any idea how broke some of us are going trying to begin to catch up.

BTW.. how was the purchase from Tillman ?? does he have his web site up yet or was it all over the phone ?

Can't wait to see it in action.

I called him on the phone and placed the order. Got a good deal at $669.99 shipped for both the DS and loop.

This is my second order with CR (first was the pulleys and CMDP's), no problems. Just hope my DS doesn't come sticking out of the box off the UPS truck!
(Gotta look for some wood to knock on. )

Phil, why don't you tell us how you really feel about racing stripes?

Hey, I hate having to make choices. Why must anyone have to just settle for one, when all you have to do is save a little more (or sell something you no longer need or use) and get both? Now, I'm not directing this question to Phil per say, because I know he dislikes stripes, but just throwing it out to anyone who thinks it must be A or B. It all makes sense to the Taco.

Congrats. So are you going to attempt to get in before the Show?

BTW-GMS Swaybar delete got here today. Easy install took me about an hour. I have to say I'm very happy with the looks and quality of the bar. Plus they had great customer service.

Good thing I didn't bother painting it black. After installing it I figured out it's barely visible. You'd have to be looking for it or you'd miss it. Still haven't driven it but I'm sure I won't feel a difference since I already had the swaybar off. Tom thanks for the write-up made things go smoothly.

new rear medallion pics

Well guys, I finally went down to ford and got the tribar pony for my (somewhat) new SHR medallion. As you may remember, I got rid of the "GT rear medallion.

Well, here is a pic. Another "new" that I am over is that last month I got a new camera, and I finally got around to installing the software. I took some pics from 4th of July, and they turned out INCREDIBLE. Since I know that some of you are camera aficionado's, here is what I got: a Nikon D40x DSLR. Man, this thing kicks butt compared to my older Fuji digital camera. I am gaga over the quality of the pics.

And yes, I did copy Brad's idea.

By the way, pay no mind to the "haze" look on the black. That's not the camera...it's rained every night for the past few nights while driving home from work.

also, sorry for the small pic. I have to compress it, otherwise the file is too large for TMS (I know, I know, get photobucket)

Bill have I told you lately how much I hate stripes? Just kidding You know I’m kidding you Bill

Point well taken on the saving or selling part as that’s what I'm attempting to do. As always the "Taco" is wise beyond his years.................

Mike that looks great, I like that and I like the black satin anodized on the black paint.

Looks good Mike. I'd consider doing that but I already have a pony on my ducktail and two ponies so close together would be overkill IMO.
