Thats just one of the things that has happend to the car since I have had it. If I listed everything it would take awhile. Those days are behind me though, no more dents dings scraches or anything like that. Guess that comes w/ time, you either become a better driver or realize how bad everyone else drives.
More sucky news
Washing/waxing the car this afternoon, noticed a second, smaller dent on rear q-panel close to the door (big one over wheel well) I hope that lady's insurance covers this if it's more than the estimate
AND
a piece of paint the size of a dime has peeled off next to the snake emblem under the blue oval on the decklid.
But other than that the car looks pretty good, used that NXT wax. I'll detail the inside tomorrow, then it's off to the bodyshop on monday
Hopefully it'll stay pretty clean there so i won't have too much to do on saturday (if it's ready on friday)

well hopefully your car will be all ready for the show. At least your runs, mines in peices all over chris's work bench, parts there, parts on the floor, parts in boxex....what a mess, I'll just be glad when I can turn the key and the thing starts again.
Yeah your right, it could look like mikes, poor guy.Striped5.0 said:well hopefully your car will be all ready for the show. At least your runs,.

I think that crash effected your head as well
Oh yeah I hope you got check out since your back and neck are still soar. Neck injuries are very werid. My neck still bothers me from time to time when I was rear ended a few yrs ago ( not in the stang ). Make sure it is all documented.
PS: Even if you were right ( which your not) then I wouldent buy you a case of beer anyway just b/c you have nothing better to do then search the internet trying to find out what Im doing
There, all shined up and ready to go. Hopefully the body shop will get the hint and keep it clean and have it ready friday.

I found all my info on you on the corral it wasn't hard to figure out it was you using my Avatar over there. and you name RIOREDSN95
Well guys back from the dyno yesterday..Great guys. They let us try or do whatever we wanted. Drove our own cars.They even weighed our cars for us for free. Pretty cool. Saw total weight plus corner weight. Mike should finally be alittle happier he put down 467/477. Mine was 457/457. Got to send my dyno sheet to Rick @Amazon and have him tweak it alittle. Was alittle lean in the mid range but finally did drop below 12:1. Mike took some pictures and hes gonna email them so the guy can put it up on his web site with our graphs. He emailed me mine so I could just shoot it to Amazon. Pretty cool. Oh and if anyone cares we saw the uncorrected #'s. Mike was 492/503 and I was 480/480....
Ya, I have to agree with Fred, the guys at the dyno are really cool, we should all make another group visit this summer. By far they are the best I have dealt with so far. Check out the site here, they said they would post our #'s . http://www.performance-dyno.com/pages/1/index.htm

The Cobra is in preparation for BE now. Instead of trying to cram everything in on Saturday, I am going to chip away at it all week. It will stay here in the parking lot until next Sunday. We really need to get our final plans together for BE, I have a guy over on SVT Performance that will probably want to join us, so I want to contact him as soon as I can. It will be a great time guys, only 1 week to go !!!

Oh cry me a river! I forgot to bring it back but I made sure to leave it in the stang so I can give it back to Chris next week. Yes I am good at reaming out holes. You are good about getting your hole reamed.Striped5.0 said:Going to mass or saco?
Would have been extreamly helful if the punch I was using was slightly bigger but someone (BRYAN) has chris's larger punch. Maybe I should have had bryan come over and do it, I heard he's good at reeming out holes
Sorry to hear about the car Mike. Glad you are ok.
On a positive note I got my stang back togther and fired it up finally about a hour ago. The neighbors must love the noise comming from the garage. I still have to do some tuning and I won't have my new coil and ignition in the car for the show. I still have to register the car so I can take it to the show.
