Put the insurance on her Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

October is the last time I had it out. Hack Job took all the attention away from it...:( I miss out freekin fast this thing is!!

Anyways, I detailed it, which it needed badly. I wetsanded some light scratches, and defects in the paint that came in after 7 years on the road. I also rubbed out the whole car with a cleaner polish, and man did it come out good. Only plans for it this summer is to install the new headlights I bought for it in January, and change the oil. Next year I want to repaint the front cover and hood. I really want to do a 6-speed swap with a new clutch, but that will have to wait until next year as well.

PIC??

Thanks. The Cobra ran 12.5 @114MPH, and has had MPH's has high as 116MPH. I just can't hook it up. Springs might be in the future, but I like the nice soft ride. Hack Job is a lot more rough with the Steeda Sport Springs.

Yeah 3 stangs...but the black notch is getting the pick on the for sale sign. I'd hate to believe me, but 3 cars in that 2-1/2 car garage is a biotch. If I want to take the ones on the outer side, the one in the middle has to go out first. Like, last night I got home from the strip at like 12 at night, and I just left my Cobra outside and blocked it in with my truck, and my girls GP. I didn't want to fire up Hack Job and wake the neighbors.
 
yeah i hear ya on the parking issue. Sometimes my place looks like a used car lot. When i need the entire garage to work on something, everythigns gotta come out. Then at the end of the day im tired and i gotta fire up 4 different cars lol.

Nice mustangs though. Selling your only 5.0, huh? Gonna get another one or stick with your modulars and laugh all the way to 7k rpm?
 
Sometimes one has to go, it will suck but probably smarter in the end!

Yeah, it will be better with just two. IF I can get what I want for it, it will be nice to have some extra cash.

Exactly. I can't do anything in the garage. EVerything goes behind the cars, so when I want the cars, the lawn mower, garbage cans, etc...need to go out.

Yeah, sellin the 5.0. I love it, but Hack Job is too cool, it gets a lot of attention. The 7K RPM is great. I love that Cobra, it's crazy watching the tach go up there!:D

:( I miss my 96 so bad :cry:
I love that car mang. Trade ya all three for the Termi :D

Thanks. Okay....I love the terminators!!!

That Cobra is clean...Makes my really miss my old Rio Red 97, & the other 2 SN95's I have had.... That thing is a keeper though!!!

Thanks...and you have some nice cars as well. I miss all of mine in the past as well.

Your stable makes me jealous :(


I gotta come check them alll out! :nice:

Anytime brotha! Beers on me!

SVT you still going to mustang alley?

Yes. Not sure what time, since they are sending Emails this year telling us when to show, but my yellow coupe will be there. Just look for Hack Job, you should find me....although around 11ish I know I'll be at Buffalo Wild Wings on 9 Mile west of Woodward. :D




BTW....Did anybody notice that I installed 99-04 Mustang quarter glasses with the Saleen C-pillars?? I love how they give the allusion of an more triangular quarter glass because of the flat black area, but on my black car, it's not that noticeable.....but on any other color, those are badass.
 
Thanks, they don't fit as good on the 94-98 body because the bottom of them doesn't match with the quarter panel very good, but I got them to fit better than they did if I just slapped them on. I ground down quite a bit of fiberglass on the back side and got them inward about 1/4". The quality of Saleen parts is crap too. I block sanded the piss out of them and they are still wavy. I almost wanted to refinish them again, but who cares, the car is 11 years old, and only I notice it. hehe
