Gun barrels?

This guy made a replica machine gun and used PVC pipe for the barrel.

Awesome! I'm going to enlist my friend's help with that. She and her bf get ALL into the cosplay stuff. She also does hotrod pin-striping!

No, but I am removing the "Powered By Ford" emblems and replacing them with "427" emblems. I have the new emblems sitting here on my desk, waiting for the swap to be finished. And since the hood fits over the new engine, I'm keeping the SHELBY letters, so you have something with which to occupy your time.

Are they the Shelby PBF emblems or Scott Drake? If Shelby...how much you want for them?

I entered the annual mustang show put on by the local shelby club and Hallmark Ford. 150 mustangs, cobras and other cool cars, all ford. 13-14 was VERY under represented and I got slotted into an ocean of -05-09's but that's ok. My personal favorite is a buddy's 07 gunmetal shelby with alcoa wheels My friend won first prize in 10-14 shelby's. I won a sweet mustang history book, so i can catch up on history LOL!

They're the new style, and I haven't decided yet if I going to sell them.

Installed my new S&B power stack blue filter. Had to cut the flange a bit to fit, but it's a 7" deep filter...beefier than the other one. No more ugly red filter.

And here's a short clip of me stepping on the gas at 9pm...had to be quiet to avoid po'ing the neighbors and waking up my kids

Thanks Darren! Red filter was fine, just out of place. Nothing red under my hood. Well, the stock positive battery terminal cover...but nothing else. So, I figured I'd stick to my "blue" theme.

LMAO !! ... Yup

Oh, and Burton, it looks and sounds great, but my blue filter is now a "lovely" gray, and the same with the girlfriend's filter, both JLT filters, not sure if that will happen to yours, but just a warning ...

Lol...thanks guys!! But where do I get a red rubber/plastic terminal cover like oem?

And gabe, S&B makes JLTs filters as well...so I'm sure mine will look just like yours when the mileage catches up. How many miles on your guys' before it looked like that?

Also, aren't those filters cleanable and re-dye-able? And lastly, if anything, I just buy anther one. They're under 40 bucks.

I was wondering if S&B might be the mfr for both ... JLT sells them for $60+ .... I think it took a month or 2

Yes, S&B makes JLT's. It actually states it on JLT's site. I also confirmed this with S&B directly. Yeah, so next time, just buy from S&B directly (or 3rd party...cheaper).

As for the duration, a month or 2 and it's not blue anymore? wtf... where are you guys driving these cars Also how many miles worth? No way that happens in 1 month or so. I only put about 3k miles a year, so hopefully it will last at least 1 year, then I can switch every year. At 40 bucks a pop, that's less than the cost of a fill up!

Exactly why would you put 3.08's in your car?

Just guessing (cause I'm also curious), but to help with traction, get better MPG, wants more top end on the track?
