Praying for your speedy recovery buddy.
According to people I have spoke to and the Surgeon, I will be in the procedure room for 30 minutes. Most of it is prep and Anestesia. Put you to sleep with Propofol. 1/2" incision and then access the Medial Nerve. Do what is needed. Close up with 2 stitches and a bandaid. Relax for about an hour and go home. Baco to work Monday AM. 99 out of 100 people have instant pain relief! I guess I will see.

Last Wednesday got hit by a stone on the passenger side of the windshield. Resulted in the classic star break. Today they came over to the house to do the repair. Ten minutes after they arrived, setting up to do the repair, cleaning the glass, the guy stepped over to the van to get more cleaning wipes and heard "click". Walked back to my car and --- the star break now had a nice crack going across the windshield.

So OEM glass ordered and supposed to arrive on Tuesday next week. When I ran to the store the crack kept growing so it may be all the way across by the time the new glass arrives next week.star break became crack 2026-6-1.jpg

Bummer dude. Not that it matters now but I have used super glue at the end of cracks to keep them from growing before. Not sure if it really works or the cracks were done cracking but thought I would share.

Finally got the new 275/40/18 Firestone Firehawk V2’s mounted and balanced for my Bullitt, the Nitto’s on the car were 11 years old up front and 8 years old in the rear. All I can say is WOW! It rides and drivess incredible now, and it finally has some grip and traction. I highly recommend these tires for anyone looking at new rubber for their car.

I ditched the Nitto G2s and replaced them with Eagle F1 Summer only tires and was amazed. Didn’t know how bad the Nitto’s were until I put on a set of good tires.

SRP pedals install on my '08 Shelby went great..but not super easy either.

I bought them from LMR & got good advice to remove the entire gas pedal first (3, 10mm nuts & unplug the connector), use masking tape on the brake & clutch to mark holes & get their positions just right..all @ 1/8" in from the pedals perimeter to give the 10mm nyloc nuts room to mount flat.

Also helpful to lift the front of the car up to ease access into the footwell. The top two holes on the brake & clutch needed a Dremel burr tap to start the holes before drilling with a 1/16th, then the 11/64"…not much room for a drill to position perpendicular on those.

I deviated from SRP's instructions & widened the composite gas pedal's 4 tapped holes from 1/16" to @ 1/8", & only needed to go 11/64" (not 3/16") on the brake & clutch pedals. The only b*tch was contorting myself in there to do it all..it's a younger man's game but only took a few hrs.IMG_9086.jpeg

Just added a lito tune, big difference in throttle response and it sounds a lot nicer. Very few performance mods on mine but very pleased with the outcome.

Ordered my GT500 style fan to replace the whining, about to fail factory one. Need to grab some relays to wire it in externally too, gonna go ahead and do that relay relocation while I'm in there.
