StangGT1995...... IL is out of my service area. You need to move on over to the east coast. lol

milewsky80....... Yes they are the GTS2 seats and I love them. I purchased the seat tracks to go with them and they sit perfect. Im very pleased with them.

69clark....... Its all about the hardware this year. After getting beat up on by you and Charlie last season I need to turn it up a notch this season.

gmkillr...... Just trying to live up to your expectations.


I still have quit a bit planned this winter. Just a little break till I get it back from the body shop. Till then youll just have to wait.

Given my keen eye for quality and good looks. LOL..... I must say after seeing it in person a couple weeks ago I am very impressed with the workmanship Rich is putting into his car. Now, If I can just get him to make the 186 mile trip up to hide my wires on the firewall........ Guess it will have to wait until he get's back from Vegas.

Yeah the brakes are ok. I only pulled them off to powdercoat them. The original grayish color of the cobras just wasnt cutting it.

Well the chrome would be nice but Im still trying to keep it subtle. The whole idea is to be nice yet not overdone and the chrome would be too much IMO

Carlisle should be good this year Im really looking forward to it and yeah you should stick around for both days.

man, i had no motive to put my battery in my trunk until seeing your engine bay. that looks so clean.

what was the process of hiding all the wires in your engine bay? when i pull my engine this summer to rebuild it i definitely am cleaning it up like yours. just going to paint it flat black in there so a little grease wont stand out horribly haha.

Damn Rich, it looked good before, and its killer now. I really like the AC canister things on the driver's side. Charlie told me how good they looked polished and now that i see them I completely agree! Were they aluminum?

Thanks for the props guys.

Paul..... About the A/C canisters, That was kinda of a suprise to me, as I was only working on polishing the lines and accidently scuffed one. Thats when I realized they would clean up nice, so I kept going with it. Im really not sure what type of metel they are, never bothered to stick a magnet on them. I know they polish up nice, but how long they hold up is another ? I guess Its only one more bit of up keep. Well worth it for the bling factor and dont worry I still have a few more tricks in the bag for this year. lol
