sweet....I was at the shop but didnt see any pieces for a mustang...I will have to check it out next time Im over there. Can't wait to get my pieces done. Bo is the best when it comes to airbrushing...

And yes, Henson is tuning it. You are more than welcome to come and watch.

talked to John over at MP and he said the motor will be delayed yet another week. Motor was at machine shop and getting everything balanced out, and he noticed not 1, BUT 2, of my Manley rods were cracked!!!

Im glad he saw this as they werent big cracks, but it would have sucked to get the engine assembled and installed just for it to blow due to bad rods! He called Manley and they are getting a new set sent out.

So ready for this to be over! I miss my baby!

A little progress...small updates suck! But once the motor is here, it will take no time to get it in and running...All the small stuff is pretty much done...Just hook up a few gauges and BAP.

I just had all this custom airbrushed/painted! Should look sweet when all done! Keep in mind, the block, manifold, sc, coolant tubes, alt, etc is all painted black...SOOO, this is pretty much the only color in the engine bay - should look sweet!

Also, ordered hood struts to clean up the bay and to get rid of the hood prop, as well as the new BMR Xtreme Anti Roll kit
