after fixing my oil leak (girdle), and installing the caltrac kit, l finally got the fish back back the ground. been a hassle w/ a messed up knee from a 4 wheeler wreck. knee still swelled and has water on it. doc sucked 85cc`s of water and blood out of it twice already. but it`s getting better almost daily. gotta undo the oil mod., I did to it next, that will be under the intake tho. then a front end alignment and insurance. dang! going on 8 yrs., my outlook sure has changed a bunch , since I started this thing!----LOL
 
Soon you can drive it and have some dipstick walk up and ask "What year Mustang is that?":lol:
 
Dang! I missed the thread where you talked about the crash with the 4-wheeler. - You may be healing up but it sounds like you're still in a world of hurt. How's the back?

The dang Roadrunner is still in Grand Island at the shop we took it to. Supposedly it's all but done. Each time I call I'm told that they're working on other cars, sick, or gone racing.

They did find a bad MAP sensor and a bad relay to the O2 sensor a few months ago. After that I was told they were having trouble getting the FAST software to work on their computer.

If they weren't an hour and a half away I'd be spending each day at their door. Right now I'm just playing the waiting game and focusing on other projects.
