Wash it, wax it, put gas in it, and drive it.

By summer I'd like to have some ASP pullies, MM subframes, and 275/50/15 ET Streets on Prostars so I can try and get into the mid 13's.

Going by the ET in your sig, all you should need to get into the 13's is bumped timing and the pullies.

Yes the winter vacation is nice, gives me plenty of time to get things done on the stang. Well You know where I will be when ya come.(in the shop) I am trying to get the electrical ran, so I can get my lift set up within the next week or so. Im tired of looking at it sit next to the car.

Anyways here is a tease of whats been going on in the enginebay. Dont mind the dirt as I still have a bunch of things I have to take care of in there. Im hoping to have the enginebay all finished within the next couple of weeks then I can start on finishing up the interior and nitrous accessories.

talking to my brother today, i think i might be getting some underdrive pullies for christmas, the rear lettering in black, and a 2 year subscription to MM&FF.

hoping i get more for my car.

just spent 3-4 hours polishing his Porsche's wheels for part of his christmas gift, thought the wheels were satin, turns out with some hard work, they are pretty much chrome.

Cobra - I will be rebuilding the supercharger, and installing a Snow Performance meth kit. Tidying up under the hood alittle more. If I feel up to it I want to replace the rear main seal and fix the exhaust leak on my passenger side header to h pipe.

Pace Car - Sound deadener (FATMAT) the whole interior and install new carpet. What ever else I can afford to do to it to get it to the point of the rendering below.

Thanks!

Actually the rendering of the pace car I did is one of the actual cars that paced the race. There were 3 of them built, all with t tops. The production cars sold to the public only had sunroof, no t tops were available. So the rendering was done from one of the original pace cars, not mine, but thats what it should look like when done.

This New Year/Winter I am going to get my my new bumpers and hood on and painted. They have been in my garage for 6 months and I can't stand it anymore lol.

I also plan on installing my 373's, the MAC cat-back and maybe a Pro-Kit.

All the while I will try and track down this oil burning issue.

For some reason the "to do" list keeps getting longer, not shorter

Pull the engine, fix whatever broke when the oil pump seized up. Replace the oil pump/shaft. Order a new pan. Install k-member, pull off A/C, and get the car back on the road asap and try out those damn ET streets finally and hit them with the 125 shot.

No there is a round wooden table and am against the garage door. FYI, I don't own the garage, I rent it. I get a hell of a deal though.
