NICE one! Is Clay doing the paint? if so what do you think of his work and cost?

No. I don't have time to drive up to st. joe for body work, even if he's as good as nick says he is. Plus I've called clay a couple times to speak about numerous projects and the dude is awful about returning calls and just following up on what he says he's going to do. Not worth the effort to deal with him. There's a place in Tonganoxie that I'm going to check out.

Man that's too bad. I was hoping you had some good interactions with him. I've never got the chance to use him.

Who in Tongie are you looking at? We have a guy at work who's family business was the body shop in Tongie before his father in law died a few years back. He still has a strong interaction and lives in Tongie. I've spoken to Kelly a few times. He used to work there and now works for himself out of his own shop

I got the TF Chicanes mounted up and they fit, damn near perfect actually. The 335 hoosier DR's are huge and they clear everything in the rear. I want to put a more street friendly tire on the rears. A 315 of some sort. This will only help the rear clearance.

Now as far as the look is concerned I just dont know. The car definitely needs more low and thats an easy fix. It has eibach springs on it now. It could easily drop another 1/2" - 3/4" and close up the wheel gap...

Those Chicanes look so nice on your Mustang. Great choice! Very nice looking ride. You've done well with it. ;-)

I decided I'm going to have the lips powdercoated gloss black and do the centers in a black with a bit of an orange flake to them. Hopefully it will come out looking sharp, but we'll see. I am going to be taking the wheels apart this week so I can get them dropped off at the coater.

I was finally able to source a Cobra front bumper. So hopefully it arrives soon so I can get everything dropped off at paint.

I've finally decided on everything that I'm going to do cosmetically to the tangerine car. I'm going to have the original taillight bezels re-sprayed and take off the black ones. I'm going to have the side moldings removed. I'm going to put the CCW SP500s that are now on the Cobra on the orange car and I'm going to have the chicanes re-done with a silver center and put them on the Cobra.

Well my suspicions were correct. I received my documents from Marti Auto Works today... Sure enough she's 1 of 1...
