Is it a two piece or one piece system?

If two piece, do you need the swing arm and/or the main bracket??

I have parts.

Brent, you have a new wife, aren't ya gonna spend some time with her???

Not much to work on on the Cobra. Will be working on another car project though. Need to get the fuel tank striped and primed and clean out the oil tank before mounting the motor and transmission. That reminds me, I need to get some metric bolts since the studs are missing from the block.

Earl
Check the 88-89 5.0 brackets they are easier to come by and look great as weel. Some are aluminum and polish up real nice.

The aluminum ones and the steel ones are very different so be sure to asf for the aluminum ones. The local ford house may be able to order you one from back stock.

Yeah Steve, those are nice, unfortunately I am using the Ford Racing Short Water Pump set up and the only brackets that will work are the 94/95 5.0 Mustang, which are scarce...looks like I'll be making my own.............

well it's only 5:40 on a SATURDAY! now who's up before me..... I could call Ron and wake him up, if I only had his number....

Dallas groups' meet this morning. gotta go!

oh, and I polished the other two wheels, and vacuumed out the carpet. Never did get around to painting pipes. Too hot, and will do it some other time. I'll leave and come back before my kids are even up.

Hey, Ron. I hope you make it to the big social today, and you're feeling ok!

Kristen
tru. 'get to work!'

Kristen,

Up 45 minutes before you. Just feeding may little dogs and getting things ready to go over to the Cobra Barbecue today. I haven't slept past 4:30 for 20 years. The older you get the less sleep you need and in another year I won't need any. Hey, tell Steve what you use to polish your wheels. He was asking about something for his truck wheels some time back.

Tru,

Hope that you get a lot accomplished today. I won't be leaving for about 3 hours, but Rick Parker is driving up from Modesdo and said he would be here around 8 o'clock and we will meet, have breakfast and do a little sight seeing before going to Jays. I think once this day is over and I have the car cleaned up again I am going to get rid of it. Just to many other things going on and I can't drive them much any more. Sad in a way but nothing like I had expected to feel. And still nothing is set in stone.

Ron

Talking

Steve,

After all of your glowing reports on Oregon everyone is busy looking at it. You should have about 10,000 people moving with you.

Ron

Default wow, no posts for nearly 48 hours...

what's up?? Everybody have a hard weekend???

Nobody has made a post since Saturday morning!

guess Steve got that grass mowed.... guess i made it to the meet..... guess ron made it to the social.....

I scrapbooked a bit yesterday. Almost thru with Peter's one year old book! yea!!! (remember he'll be 15 in Dec. ugh!)

included a pic from meet on saturday. my car was 'across the way', in a spot in front of the restaurant. watching the sun come up thru the clouds was soooo nice. Loretta made it down, and her son followed us to the meet. she had a nice time, and took tons of pics. maybe it will encourage her husband to finish finish finish!
more later.

hope everyone has a really nice monday.


Kristen

Yea I got the grass mowed and The flowers beds cleaned out. I had sprayed the yard for grasshoppers last week and had to clean off the porches and walks. Carrie and I worked in the yard all day long. It was not real hot as we had a heavy overcast and in fact goy a touch of rain in the afternoon. It was a great day.

Spent Sunday morning in chruch and the afternoon at Mother in laws haveing a birthday oarty for my two year old niece. Kind of a lazy day. I really enjoyed the day off.



Brent,
Was it you that were asking about a pick up for a strat. I spoke to my brother in law and he said hands down the very best was a "Seymor-Duncan". They have a lot to choose from for different sounds but they had no equal. He couldn't say enough about the quality of their products.


Ron,
How was the show/social?


Back to work on the web site. I'll be back.

Ron, are we talking the Torino????

What do you want for it? You might as well offer it to someone who will appreciate it for what it is.

I heard they made Kristen park on the other side of the parking lot because of the lettering on her tires.
