Chances are the catalog cover is one that most of you will see too.
Congrats Tom, Looking forward to seeing it!!

I agree, should be a quick install if we have the manpower. So I'm assuming you'll be coming up for the install?
So he has a tune as well I assume? Yes.

Gary-Awesome car.

Susan doesn't post much, but she has a lifetime pass here in POTR for being one of the originators of the thread.

Wow, Gary, that is one awesome looking ride. I love everything but the splitters. The matte black stripes are perfect.

Seriously, he's approaching a full day of work; little pizza, beer, & BS time.

Date is tenative, but looking like 4/27 or 5/4.. yeah that's a Sunday, only available day for Ray.
Either day is open for me right now. Just take a poll.

I'm NO competition for Gary's car, that Mustang dwarfs my GT, easily. Having to go on austerity plan for mods doesn't help me at all but hey it is what it is lol

Nice GT Gary!

You're exactly right. The splitter on the passenger side is covering some damage either some person or the road did to my headlight lens. I'm going to take them off but I'll need a new headlight first. KCStang has given me a price but I just haven't done it yet. I thought I would like the splitters, but unless its PJ I don't.

I was lucky enough to have the dealership replace both of my headlights not too long ago. Good luck with getting yours replaced. I don't think I would change anything else on your ride.

Really !?!?!?! I've been meaning to contact them for the rocker panel I scratched horribly but just haven't gotten to it yet. Knowing they're in Cerritos means I can pick up parts from them. Great news. Thanks George, gonna go check them out.

I wondered why all the GO parts, but the making of the PJ makes sense. Maybe they'll start having a bunch of VB parts for the Gurney car now

Yeah I did the speaker mod before I really knew what I was getting into. Replaced those factory subs with the Polk MOMO's because they looked cool and had a grille that actually fit perfect. But the new sub and new wiring was a pain. I don't know how I got 2 pair of 12 gauge through that harness at the body while still making it look stock I'll never know. I don't ever want to do that again!
