Well it's been awhile since I've posted pics or updates. Work has slowed down on her a bit since the Saleen S/C'er install as that was a big financial hit but progress is starting to pick back up.

I installed a Street Scene center fog light grill complete with a retro Shelby emblem to finish the look of Natasha. The finish of the grill is black powder coat and overall I'm very happy with the fit and finish. It comes with nice wire extensions that plug right in and help you avoid having to stretch the stock fog light wires. I want to thank our own parts guru Kevin for getting me a great deal w/ super fast shipping! On a side note I painted the mesh in the RK Sport California Dreamin hood black to match the other grills as many of you suggested before and you guys were right! It looks way better and matches the other grills.

I also installed the matching SS lower speed grill to protect the intercooler of the Saleen. It also installed easily and really helps to tie the front end together.

Through Hatchmans powder coating thread, I was able to get a set of FRPP wrinkle blue valve covers that really helped to sharpen up the engine bay. It was a fairly simple job to install and for anyone curious as to the quality of the FRPP covers they are very well finished and a super dress up for the engine bay.

As for whats next... A Ram Clutch is on the way as mine is fading fast. I guess the stock unit doesn't care for 500 ponies. Also the stock brakes are getting freshened up as they don't do such a good job in the Whoa department. I'm going with powerslot rotors, SS lines and better fluid.

Kevin also set me up with a GT 500 twin fuel pump assembly. I am right on the edge as far a fuel goes and would like to see my fuel pressure stronger throughout the RPM band. It will bolt in the tank with no problems but the wiring doesn't match up. Not to worry though as JDM is working on a wiring harness solution to make it plug and play. It is a joint effort with once again our very own Kevin helping out.

Well it's been a lot of blood, sweat and tears since my project started way back in October of 2004 but Natasha is starting to take on her finished form....

 

That there is one slick 'Stang!

Justin that is one sweet lookin stang you have there.

 

Man, I have alwahs loved your car, and now its just that much more good. How did that photoshoot turn out? Did the pics ever get published?

 

WOW! That is a beautiful stang... I'm not so sure about the blacked out lights, but that's just me. From the hood to the ducktail it is nicely done.

 

Thanks all! According to the photographer, it's a waiting game at this point...I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

looks great i see you blacked out the hood grilles

 

sweet man!!

 

Car looks absolutely amazing. And thanks for the help with the covers.

 

Justin, you car is incredible.. have you run it down the track?

 

Justin, you are making the drive to Birmingham for the TMS national meet, correct? I gotta see this car in person!

 

Nice brother.

 

x 2!!!!!

 

Nice job Justin, the car looks great!

 

Sweet ride man... what are the dims on those stripes.... they're PERFECT!

 

Pretty sweet

That girl is crying for a set of lowering springs

 

Nice, nice J. Thanks for posting the pics. I want to see/hear her in person. Thanks for all your help. Let me know when your friend gets the Borla's on. I'm shooting for late June/early July.

 

You guy's were 100% right on that one...I wasn't sure, then when the new grill paterns matched the hood I "saw the light"...

 

I don't have an "official" time yet...Partly because of my work schedule and I am still getting her set up just right. My clutch won't survive a track visit so it has to be upgraded. I am also adding the CHE LCA lowering brackets and BMR upper control arms. I'm also waiting on drag radials...Once those mods are complete it's back to the track and I wont settle for less than low 12's (in Vegas heat and altitude)...
