Well I picked the stang up last night from the body shop. My boy needed the space so he gave me the boot. So now shes home and I can finish the rest in my shop. I hope to get the new wheels mounted in the next couple of weeks. Still a ton of other stuff like seats and carpet along with a pretty big punch list for the engine bay and motor. The good thing is the wifes going away for a month and i will be able to dedicate every freeminute to the car and get it finished up. Just fired the motor for the first time last night before I took it home so I have some dattalogging to do for Don to get this dialed in. Well on to the pics.

Rich.................long live the FROST.....sounds badazz........what's up with the wife leaving for a month...................lucky dog you....lol good luck with finishing the project..

Will....... The wife is from latvia and she has only been home once in 6years after coming to the US. So since last time was two short of a visit just a two weeker, i told her to stay for the month. I had alternative motives behind the thought, finishing the car. As far as the car I have to play with the idle shes a bit high but for the first start up it sounds pretty good. Thanks for the comps!
 
that's cool............well.........I wish her a safe flight to and fro........some quality time with the family.....and may the time apart en"RICH" your lives.......lol........





oh that last part was too much......:rlaugh:

i'm repainting mine in the next month or so and i want to keep the TRUE opal frost color

dang that makes me wish i went with the saleen body kit,,,,but i wanted to try something different and i havent seen an opal cobra clone yet

i just hope it looks half as clean as that man,,, nice car
 
sn-95matt5-0........ The paint is Dupont Chromabase code WJ.

IMO this is the nicest car on this site!!


gmkillr..... That is one compliment that really makes me think that all this work has been worth something, because I think there are some really sweet @$$ rides in here that i would die for. So for someone to say what you did, it puts a big ole grin on my face.:hail2: Thanks to all for the props and i will post some more pics when I get these on.
