hi guys,

i have in my hands the first production version of the new R&P conversion
kit from SpeedDirect for early Mustangs!!!

http://www.speeddirect.com/index.aspx?nodeID=75

you are invited to my house on saturday September 4, 2004 to handle the
parts, drink beverages, and do an install on our 66 Mustang coupe. please
email me separately if you want to come over and i'll send you directions.

after all these years of work it's finally here. it's so cool to finally have this
kit available. thanks to everyone for having patience with my ramblings and
requests for information.

next step, the rest of the early Fords !

I sure hope this kit is everything they say it is. Even if I later think I shouldn't have spent the extra $$$ on the revamped TCP rack from Alston's Chassisworks.
