famous bob said
this ain`t gonna help, but I got the fish out today to do some refining on the fuel inj. tune. less than 2 miles from my house, a dumbass in a ford p/u waits till I get to him to pull out in front of me . had to hit the brakes to keep from hitting him. first thing I`m thinkin, revenge! looked like he was even laughing about it to his wife or who ever. good thing we weren`t going the same way, I might not have been able to stand it. I wonder about people sometimes just thinkin they`d like to mess some ones stuff up. bastages !! hope u getter done right .

Glad you didn't get into a fender bender Bob! The retards are on the streets everywhere and they're tough to avoid.

But a side note, I hit the shop with a low number on doing the front end. I asked to take the hood out of the equation and just do the fenders, cowl, 1/2 the doors (since they were already doing half for the repair work), and roof. The scoop could be bonded to the metal hood, but eventually it will crack. So I didn't see a point in putting the money and work into it. What I'll do is sand the hood and scoop down and spray it all with JD Blitz Black, same as on my dash and grill. At least that way the hood and scoop will have the same finish. I don't care for the bolt on scoop look but it will have to do until I can get a pin-on fiberglass hood later down the road. But anyhow, I shot them with a low number and they accepted it! So at least several things will get fixed now that always bothered me. Some things I'll change on it are a shaved gap cap, de-badging, and going with a little bit different tail stripe. I need to start looking around for someone who does custom designs. All I'm really looking for is a factory-like tail stripe with the scat pack bee within a circle. Was thinking there was a vendor here that did them?
