Supercharged emblem!

I like it!

I won't stick it on until the blower's in, don't want to be a poser.

I think I'll go for the top placement, but a little closer to the GT emblem.

Looks good! Did you see what I meant about it pointing somewhat downward when placed under the GT?

I don't think you need it any closer.

Saturday in Da Hood at he Taco Garage, project Luis

Another sunny Cali day working on the "Steal Beasts" a few pic's for project Luis:

E-brake & MGW shifter. I drove George's PJ today, wow soild ride great handeling and I love those big Alcon brakes. George drove the Roush I'll let him comment on that experience I was trying to tempt George over to the darkside I think we planted the seed at least Muhahaha! Here are the shots and some play by play....


Ground zero the taco Garage


Luis is really steping up to these installs were proud of him he jumps right in and gets down and dirty


Bill I like the placment of the "SC" emblem I think you decided just a hair lower (+1)


Pre-flight from the passenger side George at the wheel

George northbound on th 605 frwy piloting the Roush


Kevin looking at picture he took of our "necks" I have a neck he can shoot!


Lunch time no install is complete without a tasty beverage we did a mini tasting:

Blue Moon
Mondelo Negro
Stout Pale Ale
Taiwan light

Taco the brewmaster



Afterwards a mini shoot, some casual fun. I didn't bring my big camera DOH! I did kown we were going to do this. The point & shoot did okay.

As always I had a great time at the Tacogarage! Jed's Roush....WOW! What a rocketship. It really is more of a jekyll and Hyde kind of car. Drive it like a normal car and it's just fine but step on the gas and just hold on because it just pulls hard all the way to red line! A very nice package! Luis, great job on the mods, how do you like the mgw? Thanks again for the pizza! Here's a few pics...

The west coast POTR mod center



Luis wrenching away




It's the JED!!



Jed driving the PJ


I like the new badge Bill!


Next time we'll see this engine it will have some additional components installed


The stangs, Hopefully we can get the whole group together in the coming weeks!

I put the Turbocharged emblems on today... similar to Bill's.

Centered above the GT with an 11/16" gap.

If you are using McQueen Green, did you notice the cool license plate buttons for quotes and replies?

This link for Brian or any brewmaster!

Ale or Lager?

http://hotsearches.aol.com/2008/03/0...-lager-or-ale/

Got my confirmation for Fab Fords at Knotts class 55, anyway when we drive in were picking our own spot.

Janet Jackson on CNN right now she's lookin hot, Leo... Jungle love!

Tommorrow afternoon the Roush is going under the exhaust knife at Sweeny's. I'm going to replace all of the exhaust from the Bassani X pipe back to the tips. Sweeeny's is going to make it look pretty Hopfully I get the car back Tuesday afternoon otherwise I'm going to be lonely

Leo: SC emblem looks way better in person. On the sand, weren't you going to get it from the local playground?

David: Jed's paint is wet sanded and buffed, that reflection shot looks like a mirror!

Tom: Didn't try the emblem placement on the bottom. Once I placed it on top, I knew that's where I wanted it.

Jed: See you at Sweeneys later this afternoon.. then off to Hakone!



Haven't checked my mail yet, probably have my Knott's confirmation too.

D-Specs are coming in today!

The guy told me we all had to enter class 52 in order to park together. Hopefully they'll let it slide.

Let me know when the D-specs come in Bill.

Jed- Leo has a point. E-mail the Fab Ford guy and tell him to switch class numbers to 52, otherwise they may have only a given number of spaces in our Class and can't switch you last minute.
