Thank you! It's those little simple details I can do well. Once it starts getting real technical I have to lean on my buddies.

Yeah, for sure. Still love my mustangs but if at anytime the little guy needs anything the mustang def goes on the back burner 100% of the time!



Thanks Guy! And I hope you have one before you get fixed, then you'll experience the incredible joy of holding one of your own! I know you don't want any but this was my first and 2 months later I'm still blown away.



Thanks for the advice! I was hoping to have twins to get'em done quick but no luck here haha. We'll probably go for #2 within a year or two.

Nope, i loathe kids, absolutely hate them. And even if i wake up with a wild hair some day and want a kid there are plenty of kids out there in homes that they shouldnt be.

Again though, dont ever want one, taugh kids of all ages everyday for 8 years and it has proven to me i dont want any.

But hey im an *******

Also redid the engine bay a little. I just couldn't leave it the way it was knowing I was going to put in some nice new shiny parts, but my inner fenders/firewall looked like crap. So we got it cleaned up a little. If I had time I probably would've filled in the holes and made it look cleaner but whatever. My car ain't no show car! It's a driver! Well, a summer driver that is

Here's what it used to look like...


Chassis Saver, then primer...


then semi-gloss black paint...


then clear coat...

Thanks! Yeah, those are one of the few things I bought new that cost me a little bit of mulah.

As far as the rocker they say that's the way to run'em! Improves HP big time! Just messin. It just hasn't been torqued & adjusted yet.

93 Cobra brake booster and MC is in. I thought it was going to be easy but....
-firewall clutch adjuster had to get moved a little
-had to bang on it a little past the shock tower to get in
-and them top bolts were a PITA



For most of my plumbing I used Maximum Motorsport stuff. Made it a lot easier, faster, etc. All my plumbing is ready to go. Just need to add my calipers. I'm going with 02 Gt PBR dual piston aluminum front brakes. Gotta shave my 95 spindles down a tiny bit and I'll be good to go.

I want to say it was about $180 from CJPony. Looks solid. Welding looks good. Haven't run it yet though. It's a 2 row.

Fender, front clip and hood are back from paint. They are a little dusty from sitting around but he did a great job. I used to be embarrassed of my front end. Now it's got fresh paint and new tinted headlights.

Awesome!!! Great pic of your baby! Yeah, I can't believe how fast they grow up. I'm actually Mr Mom for 3 days and I have to say it's been surprisingly pleasant

Thank u! It's those small things that bug me to death. One of my buddies who's helping me isn't as particular, and when he starts to do some modifications I start to cringe b/c I want it done a certain way.
