Well, Rich made it up through the rain yesterday for the Father's day show that the New Hampshire Mustang Club puts on and I got the chance to see the car after the winter's work to it. All I can say is I really like what he has done to his engine bay and the addition of the speedster makes that car sweet to look at. Good Job Rich.

I would have to agree with you all. It looks like he has put in a lot of work and it has paid off very well.

his car is absolutely beautiful and yes, im jealous. but it would drive me nuts keeping it looking as perfect as he has it. i'd be afraid to even drive it.

btw, isn't that his car in the readers rides of 5.0 magazine this month?

Charlie, I am glad you liked what you saw and am looking forward to helping you tidy up your bay this weekend. I dont think im taking the car up this week as I will probablly just roll up in my other 5.0l

Thanks Paul. Even though I didnt do much over the winter, I guess the little that I did do really brang the car to another level. Dont worry Im not done yet, I still have a list in my head that needs to be completed. I just need to find the time to fabricate some of the things I have planned. More than likely most of them will get done over the winter as my time during the summer is limited.



To the rest of the :SNSign: guys thanks for all the compliments, they are much appreciated. I especially want to thank Tom for his motivation and keen eye for detail as I have spent countless hours talking to him about engine bays and different ideas. Many of the things I have done have came about from our conversations. Thanks again Tom:Teh-Win:

Ryan my kit is urethane. I dont know why you painter would suggest fiberglass.
Maybe if he is cutting and modifying things then I could see his reasoning, otherwise I would stick with urethane.

I'm with Rich on that. I think the fiberglass is easier to modify urethane is usually better for durabilty.
