Last weekend I spent a whole day cleaning up my baby to put it away for the winter. I had the front wheels off to take them to have them rebalanced because of a little steering wheel shimmie at 60 mph, so I even detailed inside the fenderwells. I gave it a real good waxing and it was so slick I couldn't hardly get the car cover on it by myself.

 

Nice job! Lucky you though. The weekends have always been so bad here this fall I haven't had a chance to detail the roadster for winter. Oh well, there will be a nice day one of these days.

 

Looks lovely and that is a fine garage you have there as well...

 

That's some serious bracketry on the wall holding those engine stands.

Nice clean car too!

 

Steve,

It looks Great & I wish you an early Spring!

It was in the 70's here in the Dragon's Den this past weekend, & I broke in the "new" Coupe on those 318 turns twice.
(May have Snow flurries here on Sunday, so it goes in the mountains).


An Early Spring to all!

Damn! I have the car (my SRT-6) but I want YOUR garage!! LOL

 

First of all let me tell you I like my heated garage and it is decorated too but your garage KICKS A*S !! Actually it looks sort of like a poll barn. Is it attached to the house ?? I also was wondering what the black car is sitting next to the Crossfire. Oh and I should mention the car looks great !!

 

Nice Garage....Looks like a pony car next to your Xfire?

 

very nice space, steve, especially the spot for the deck. I have a 1987 316 Deere I bought new with 200 hours. we will never part.

 

Quick guess - 1964.5 Mustang Coupe ?

 

My car has only had a hose taken to it 2 times, the day after I bought it,(OCT. 06) and once after I got caught in the rain when it wasn't suppost to rain. The day last weekend I cleaned it up, I had 1 bucket of hot mild soapy water & 1 bucket of just hot water to wipe it down and done it where it's sitting in the picture's. Then I used a chamois to dry it & then "wax on - wax off".

 

Thanks, the deck under the table is off my 4x4-4100 JD, I bought new in 2001 it only has 173 hours on it, I mainly use it for the loader. It's about too big for a lawn mower though. Behind the SRT6 under a cover is a 2006 120 JD that I mow with, I got the deck off it sitting under the back of 64&1/2 Stang to save space.

 

Thanks for all the compliments on the garage, it's not attached to the house and it's not a pole barn. It's 32' deep & 44' wide, designed & built by me including the brick. It has a 14' x 32' upstairs and there is a walled off section between the center & right door in the pic I'm posting it's 16'x24', that's where I park my daily driver. The "toy box" part where the SRT 6 sits is heated and is 32' deep & 28' wide with a 16'x8' tool/bench area, there is a garage on the house, but that one is for the wife. Good guess Shawn on the 64&1/2 Stang , believe or not that little Stang would give the SRT6 a pretty good race.

 

It looked to be the 289 emblems on your Mustang. It must not be stock if it is a 13 second car??

WOW ! Job well done Steve , what kind and size rims they look cool
and what size tires they look beefier than stock.. Thanks for the eye candy

 

^ I would also like to know more about the wheels. Is there a link to where they can be boutght?

Thanks

 

It was an orignal 260, but now is a 289 bored .40 over with Keith Black flat top high compression pistons. It has rollor rockers, nice street & strip cam and the heads were custom built. They have 1.94 Chevy 350 intake valves and the chambers were all cut out & polished. The pistons had to be notched out to accomodate the bigger valves, then the piston skirts were drilled to balance them. It also has a Edelbrock RPM high rise and a jetted out 750 Holly with a inch and a half spacer under it. I just changed out the third member about a month ago, they were 3:55's, (2,950 RPM) at 60 mph. Kept having over heating problems out on the highway so I changed them to 3:25's (2,600 RPM at 60 mph now).Headers with 2&1/2" exhaust with Flow Masters, too much other stuff to list & don't want Admin. to get on to me since this is the SRT 6 section.

 

For the questions about the wheels & tire's, the wheels are Stern ST-8 Hyper Mesh, 8.5x18" w/10mm spacers on front & 9.5x19" w/20mm spacers on back. Tires are Michilan PS2's, 245/35/18's on the front and 285/35/19's on the rear.

 

*whistle* That garage floor is spotless. We should be calling you mr. clean from now on (no offense andrew lol)
