It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

After 2 1/2 years, I decided to break it off with my GF last night. I'm hoping this frees up funds for the project.It should at least.

Still sucks though. Need to go let it loose off the trans brake a couple times and hopefully I'll feel better.

Sorry to hear that, Collin.

I hope things get better.

Lol.

I've been doing training for work. About to saw off a toe to get out of it.

Please see thread about flywheel. Can't drive it until that is solved

Well, there has been a lot going on in life lately. Unfortunately, none of it deals with the mustang. I'm pretty sure it's still in the garage. Might need to check?

Whoa whoa whoa Noobz347

I'll have another soon, going to build it using parts from other abandoned projects people are trying to offload. It'll be "Project: Buy new parts so I can buy them from you at 40% of what you paid."

Until then, I have a uber clean DD with A/C and 400+ hp at the wheels.

Not quite. It's the cleanest, most well put together 99 gt I've ever seen. I flew to Dallas last night and drove it to Austin. Used half a tank at 75 mph the whole way. Makes 428 to the wheels also. I'll post more pictures and stuff tommorrow when I get home.
