I voted "NONE OF THE ABOVE"; because you guys are never gonna be done with your cars...... oh wait - that's me! Yeah but you guys probably will be in the same boat.

But now I'm starting to re-think this; since Fritz now has a pretty strong "Cheering Section". I think I even remember her saying something about getting "proposals on paint".
This one may go to the BBFCM.








OBTW Fritz: Have you explained "BBFCM" and "GCC" to the lady yet?
I think she might be curious...........

more parts to install......

I have sally's new "nose" (GT350R style front valance) and subframe connectors.....

The prep work for the subframe connectors is done, just have to do the final fitting and wellding, going to get that and the final weld up of the rocker panel done this week...(I hope!)

If I can find a way to make the cobra run under 84 dB, I can go back. It would be a pretty freaky looking exhaust system!

I had sub-frame connectors welded into the '84 with the T-Roof. What an improvement!

I got these from Tinman Fabricators, made specifically for The '65 stang and very simple installation.
First you cut open the end of the front subframes, slide the connectors into the front subframes the conform to the floor pans and meet up with the rear subframes just in front of the rear spring mount.
Two 1/2" holes on either side of hte front rails for spotwelds, weld up the frames.......

Hey now; don't be baggin' on BBFCM's ultra-classic, unrestored (or even "raked"), survivor green and gold shag rug! Next, you'll be pokin' at his spray-painted garbage bag "MUSTANG RANCH" sign!











All this from the guy building a Grand Marquis Edition '66 F100!

That's a rug? You mean it's not the lawn?

If its the law, I suggest weed and feed.

Apply 2 days after mowing, and watering. Make sure you apply when the dew is still on the grass. Then let it sit for a few days before mowing again. You should see an improvement within 30 days.
