We use a parking lot near the local firefighter's station for testing of the Wolfpack Motorsports car.

Good luck with the Dealer, hope they do what you want.




Thanks David!

My proving ground allows our Mustangs to stretch their legs a little.
(Leo, Brian, and George can attest to that.)
It's a great place. I would love to be there when the people that work around that area wonder where the heck all the black marks come from ??

Brian, how's the shifter holding up?

Ready to turn out the shifter block a few more turns?

"Midwest Auto Gear extension plugs are available. They are $11 for the painted and $6 for the molded black."

Boo!!! These should be sent out to anyone who bought these covers (who requests them) at NO CHARGE!

Guess not all companies are like MGW.

That's pretty cheap of them to charge that for people who already bought the covers.

Yeah, I guess $11 is worth more than a satisfied customer to them.

Well, the dealer check my battery and it was fine. They cleaned off all the corrosion. Hopefully won't have any more problems. Also got some new headlights because the reflectors were burning off and some new upper strut mounts via the TSB out on them.

MGW stuff arrived! at least part of it.

Well I got the cup bezel today. Much to my dismay the front opening isn't any bigger. I thought Bill had the "old version". Looks like I'm going to have to return it and go with the SHR bezel which I know for a fact will hold a coke can in the front slot.

Then to top it off I find out my hanger clips are on backorder.


Good news is I scored some BMR relo brackets for $50.
Now all I need are the LCA's.

Coke can in the Mustang?

I used to carry bottled water in mine, but now I have no cupholders!

btw, nice score on the relo brackets.

Shifter=GREAT ! I could maybe go out a turn just to see what it's like. As it is I am completely happy with the feel and operation. I really don't see a reason to change it. It is a nice change to be able to smoothly and efficiently go from gear to gear, up or down....


Going to Kragen to buy a new white Hurst Ball. If anyone's interested the Hurst is going up for sale later today/tomorrow morning as soon as I can get the pics up.

I've always liked yellow for some reason and the last pic is just cruel.

Well I really hope you're able to get the car back tomorrow. It must have been torture waiting for it. Can't wait to hear the good news






Charley, if you see this, I'm just giving you a hard time

Good ol' Charley! Gotta love him!!


I tried to e-mail Jed to see if he wants to go to my proving grounds to put the Roush/KB through the paces today or tomorrow, but no reply.


Just ordered the new Zaino's Z-CS!
9 months of protection! This is supposed to be the Bomb-Bee! (it better be for $29.95 )

Really would like for it to come before next week's show, but it may not make it. That's what I get for procrastinating.

Brian send Mark at Grabber en email asking him if he can get you a vista blue shifter ball ASAP. I bet he can help you out fast. I've worked with Mark on a few things and he is super helpful and fast. Good guy, great customer service, similar to George at MGW.
