    So after a busy night and a long day today I fixed my transmission leak. I was suppose to go on a cruise today but spent the day under the car.
    Shift shaft seal had broke and was leaking. I found a puddle under my car Wednesday night but didn't discover it until Saturday am. Quite the shitter that a $5 "O" ring can stop you dead in your tracks.
    Oh well fixed now so I'm off to the car show in the am!

    And maybe one more.
    I think they had about 50 non mustangs and probably about 175 mustangs and Cougars. I think one parking lot had about 1.5 million dollars worth of cars in it. Including a $200,000 Shelby super snake. One of two made. (2010 I think). A couple boss 302's a 69 Mach I with a 428 cobra jet.

    Congratulations, Steve!

    Your Falcon looks great parked in the row with the other really sharp looking customs.

    It is a lot fun to go to those shows to see the cars and talk to the other car owners. I always leave thinking "Gosh, if I only had a bigger garage!"

    Did anyone honk and wave at you as you were driving to the show?

    Have fun. Dennis.

    Thanks guys.
    Dennis it does get a lot of thumbs up, and honks. I have to be ready every time I stop for gas or snacks as people come up and ask how I made the delivery out of a station wagon. They want to know how hard it was to replace the glass with the steel panels. lol
    Best one I had yet was getting on the highway I stepped on the go pedal and just as I got to the merge lane on the highway I saw the lights and siren!
    Got pulled over and the officer was a customer of mine and he said he just wanted to check out the car because he hadn't seen it done yet!! Whew I thought I was getting my first delivery ticket.
    Well got another big show this coming weekend so we will see how she does there!
    Keep on Falconing!

    I suspect you'll get a lot of awards with that car. Too unique and very well done.

    I hope to make it to a show or two this year, but both of my cars look very sad at the moment. The truck is getting all the love. For now I must live vicariously through others posting car-show pictures.

    I don't think I could trust someone that only had an eBay feedback score of 14 .

    Hey everyone I'm back from the dead. Well a lot has happened so here is the short version. Shop expansion complete! Super swamped at work and filled said expansion. Finally coming up for air so thought I better check in.
    Delivery is not for sale, I did test the waters and got a very good offer but I can't sell her. Too much time work and sweat into it. So yes I'm keeping it and plan some more modifications this winter.
    I will be swapping in an 8.8 rear axle from an explorer, it has 3:73 gears posi and disc brakes I'll post up on that deal.
    I've been keeping an eye out and Dons project is looking very nice, I hope some of you other guys have been keeping up on yours as well.
    So hopefully with work under control I'll be popping in more and doing some more write ups myself.
    Hope to see everyone soon, but stay warm this winter!
