Even makes a chevy guy drool - that thing is awesome! Love the stripes under the hood and down the firewall - Do they keep going under the car too? All the detail work in the engine compartment, interior, and body/paint come together perfectly. You have to give Ford credit for keeping its modern stuff in touch with its roots. As usual, your video job is great!

I also really like the new pic of your smoking 240. Very badass!

I got the wife to give me the OK for new paint on the Chevelle (it was last painted in '89), and I'll make sure to check out RC (although it'll be a while before the car stash gets replenished after my last ordeal). Our son wants flames (and so does Dad), and they seem like a great place to pull off something tasteful.

Craig - New batch of home brew is kegged and flowing - I got a frosty mug in the fridge with your name on it.

I used to make my own beer. What flavor did you make? I have a good recipe for Killians Red taste alike.

End hi-jack

Yep, I did the videos. Smile

Power should be @ around 800 at the crank. The passes you saw were no more than 1/3 throttle and all it did was spin. No weight was taken out and trust me, I don't think the motor minds.

The mufflers are virtually non-existent. They're Dynomax flow throughs and barely bigger than the pipes.

Now, the car is on a boat to Belgium. Hopefully the owner will take some videos when the motor is all broken in of him smacking down some Krautmobiles.

my moniter doesn't allow me to enjoy a good paint job.

MUCH better than the dumb shit I stumble across on youtube.
