Default Re: My Dream Car is now no longer a dream, its in my garage!

Dave whenever you are ready just stop by. The side pipes are at the ceramic coater. Probably take a few weeks to get them back. Driving me crazy I can't drive the car. I still have things to do so hopefully the down time will go quickly and the weather will cooperate when I get the pipes back on.

3/18/2011 - Just wanted to update the thread and I didn't want to cut in on the Supercuda dsicussion. Well I'm a day away (I hope) from putting the car back on the road. In the three weeks its been in the garage I have replaced the seat belts and harnesses with new Black Simpsons, removed a bunch of Shelby American badges that don't belong on a Factory 5 car and had the side pipes ceramic coated (silver/chrome). They will be back in the morning and back on the car tomorrow afternoon. I also replaced all the body mounting bolts on the car so they match. Things left to do, wheels, heater, seat heaters, move the battery to the trunk with the cutoff switch, replace the yellow spark plug wires with a blue set, stripes and I'm sure that by the time that's done I'll be wanting to put a bigger engine in it. The cool thing about a Factory 5 is you call on Monday morning and by Wednesday you have the parts, great company, excellent customer service!
Pics to follow tomorrow.
