No package today. I'll have to wait till Monday now, and that means install next weekend.
As far as weather goes for me, the wind is blowing, no rain yet. The center is going to miss us by about 120 miles, so that's good for us, but bad for some other folks.
I did manage to get a coat of cleaner wax on today. Tomorrow I'll put on some polish, and then a coat of carnuba. I was using my Porter-Cable electric polisher. I was really concerned about the car being lower on the drivers side with the new springs. I measured top of wheel well to floor on each side and they were within 1/32" of each other. As it turns out my garage is about 1/4" out of level under the car. So no problemo. She is shining now, but she's gonna gleam tomorrow.

We had a beautiful sunset today. With the high clouds, they were rosey and orange on a blue background. And it was relecting off the car perfectly. But 1/2 the car had wax on it and by the time I got it off, the sun had set. It would have made for one gorgeous picture though.

I definitely want to see that thing run the 1/4 mile!
I could play a round of golf in less than an hour with that cart.

Well I guess I don't get to drive my stang today after all. It's supposed to rain all day. Plus I'm probably going to miss the car show I wanted to go to. I hate rain!!!!!

The V8 swap is so much more complicated then the 2.3T swap. The 2.3 pretty much just bolts in, but with the 5.0, you have to change pretty much everything. I'm too lazy for that, so that's why I'm leaning to the turbo.
