Just got off the phone with Vortech. Air intake ducts cost $79.95 & $32.95!!

What a rip. I was planning on buying a set to paint and keep the originals as back-up.
Well, if I do this paint mod, I'll use my existing.

Consider yourself lucky. I need some simple nuts/bolts, fender liners, foam insulator, and a lower radiator cover from Ford and the total was $175. Ridiculous for such simple, little things.

Don't worry, I was careful not to spill any liquid gold in George's trunk.

We even brought along some Joe Crow shooters and fried pork rinds, but we had to cut the party short because of time.

It's great when your friends come by to hang out but when they bring beer too...It's enough to bring a man to tears

SoCal Peeps I'm thinking of going to this Luau. I just joined this club South Bay Mustang Owners.

They are a small club but do a lot of fun stuff

Also on June 28th they are visiting Dave's Garage. Dave is a founder for Pelican products and owns over 80 classic cars.

On July 4th, is an Irwindale visit and race night. Two passager cars get in free. That's a $75.00 savings I'm told.

SBMO met this past Tues night (I think?) at Ricky & Ronnie, saw Charlie's and Carl's cars there as I drove by.

For those attending the luau, be prepared to see Charlie in Aloha garb.


Brian- When's the BBQ? Dates are filling up for the end of the month, so need to start reserving dates.


I stopped by Swanson yesterday to drop off my carcover. Nothing started yet, I'm guessing Danny's waiting for his righthand-man (Joel) to return from vacation.
There was a new TR GT500 on the dyno.. looked cool!

So when does this guy get back from vac
