I saw this penetrating spray at an auto parts store once... made me laugh!

Got you both beat!
It's called DeezNutz, and it's a lotion/anti friction cream for your... nuts... in cycling shorts!

Anyhow, I will probably just paint the tank black, but I really would like to have the extra cash and know how of plumbing a fuel cell and braided lines into the hatch and getting rid of that funky tank.

Yur right...that one wins, hands down!

DeezNutz is good stuff if you ride a lot!

Butt Butter is a close 2nd.

Not if your a porn star!

Click the pic if you want to see and hear it moving down the interstate. Don't mind the cracked windshield, white drivers door inner, poor flooring, gauge cluster that fell out of the dash and missing steering wheel cover! :haha:

It's loud, real loud, going down the interstate, almost enough to drown out the wastegate opening.

**Cobrajet** · 05/30/2011, 11:28 AM

The dash is almost the same as my '82, right down to the 85Mph speedometer. Of, course, I've NEVER had my GT over 85, so it really doesn't matter...right??

Officer: "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Me: "No clue!"

(Not fast enough, obviously!)

**Bob Barker** · 05/30/2011, 11:35 AM

There were only a few variations on the dashes for several years. The SVO's had some kind of fuzzy crap on the dash that, thankfully, has long worn off of my car! Other foxes had a really space aged grid-paper sticker overlay on them

Wife may leave me after this afternoon...

I've had these Greg Welds sitting in the garage for a couple years, and just ordered some MT ET street radials for them and got them mounted.

26" tire, hope it fits!

and this thing

It's a lot larger than the stock turbo, and I'm concerned about it fitting on the Stinger header I have now...

ooooooo, pretty

**Bob Barker** · 06/10/2011, 02:31 PM

I want to polish that compressor housing, what do I use? A grinding wheel, wire brush, something else? I've got access to those tools at work and could get it done tonight. It's a cast aluminum piece.

Got the drag wheels on. I had wheel spacers on the fronts and took those off so the skinnies would tuck in more, then found the rear wheels were rubbing the breaks as expected, so I put the spacers on there. It cleared the brakes but now the stick out extra T4B style

. I don't like it so I'll have to take the rears off and get a grinder on them.

Here I've lowered the front adjustable coil overs some, it's hard to tell, but it's about an inch, maybe a little more lower.

**RamAirZ** · 06/26/2011, 08:46 AM

Love the look man! Turning out good!

Not even close ... but nice try.

What's all the excitement about ... 'it's just a Mustang'

Sorry, it had to be said ... I say it about 10 times a day when Boy (my son) points out every out every one he finds on Craigslist within a 300 mile radius.
