After it dries is how I did it and probably the only way it should be done.
It adds a nice touch. It was easy to paint but the Duplicolor paint brush they provide is lame. Mine fell apart, good thing I had some stand by's in the house. Something to consider........

No go pal, get to work and catch up here at TMS!
Good to have you back!
Oh and only $100/hr for Tire Roasting 101, not bad. DO I have to pay your air fare to Houston?

100/hr for Tire Roasing 101.. that's a bargin. But it's something I'm sure with some practice you can nail down quickly. Especially now that you have a Tune on that Stang.

Thanks for the info. I bought last weekend a couple better brushes on the cheap at Sears they should be much better ??

Yes I think practice is needed for me. I think I need to learn that all I have to do is rev it to 4K and just drop the clutch. I think I may be feathering it a bit or not just releasing it as fast as I should.
Hey Brian I've been meaning to ask you since you painted and installed your cam covers has it stayed leak free? I like the ford blue, in the absence of having any $ I may have to paint mine, I can buy can spray paint without scrutiny

You'll be at the R&R on Wednesday, right ??
FYI... I was looking at driveshafts and I think it was Jeg's that had a steel driveshaft that is only 4lbs heavier than the aluminum one and is $521 not the 600+ or 700 bucks most of the aluminum driveshafts are. You're still cutting the stock weight in half, 22 for the steel and 18 for the Aluminum..
And on gears... 4.10s are too much for a blown manual... like how much too much ? Completely undrivable or get used to starting out in 2nd ?

I used the Duplicolor and it was easy. I went the conservative route painting them black but I've gotten some feedback back from several folks that red would be better so I think I'll redo them in red soon. Oh well shame on me for being conservative.
Don’t forget to add the Pony decal and Mustang name decals……………………….Finishes it nicely

It matches your car and doesn't show dirt like red will.
Are you serious?

The red can't possibly be that bad and it'll look much better than black ever could
Dunno, I'd have to see them but I'm thinking about it.

Like Brian said, just takes some practice. You see, Brian and I have been doing childish burnouts since we were 16, so we're pros!

I'm pretty sure Tillman was selling the Coast for under $600 shipped. One thing I'm certain on is getting a DS that uses the adapter plate. I DO NOT want to break that pinion nut to install a flange kit. My gears are quiet and perfect, I don't want to take any chances in messing that up.
On the 4.10's, Tom_281 is running the 4.10's with a SC, seems pretty happy with them. Somehow I highly doubt that they'll be completely undrivable... that's just silly. About the only thing I see is 1st winding out pretty quick if you're under boost.
Ouch. I was thinking about red.

It came out almost like new. I think I'll do it each time I rotate the tires.
I like the silver, it matches the wheels.

Hey, TMS is back up! 
What a Saturday! Leo and Kevin were giving me a hand in my major wiring mod today (Alpine/Raptor/rear cam/video bypass/voltmeter). It's still not done, but all that's left is connecting up all the wires to the switch plate and work out some kink in my video bypass. DVD plays audio, but no video.
I tell ya, trying to figure out how to wire all this stuff I put in is a nightmare! This will be the last of the electrical mods for me, I've just about had enough of it.

Yeah, shifters and O/R-h's!
It is at that. Now I just need to come up with some major scratch to get some wheels... Need to get a job on short notice that I can sell some Delta miles for $1000. 
Looks like on my next trip to Houston I may be able to make a little extra cash. Come on Phil... my baby needs some new wheels!
Childish? HEY... I resemble that remark!
Oh, oh... I see at least a
or maybe a

yuck... I hate messing with electrical stuff. It'd have to be a good reason for me to take the step you're taking.
4.10s... tillmans 299 offer.... might be the next step. Didn't think about the pinion nut, that'd would change which one I'd buy.
BTW speaking of childish, immature, reckless, fun as all get out behaviour.... I've been thinking of a new tire shreading method. Strickly scientific of course. If it works we ought to go back to "the place" and video. I believe that it'd make for a heck of a vid.
Oh yeah. I have pics of the caliper painting. Before and after. There are a couple spots that could be better. If it were me I would have preferred to remove the calipers and had all day to do them. Instead I did them late Friday. Oh well. They aren't perfect but what is? I'll post pics AFTER I was my car it's D.I.R.T.Y. right now.

Here are pics. I didn't feel like taking the wheels off to get better pics today. I'll try to get better pics of the calipers themselves a little later on.
