Dead Cat on the ground

[Payton King]

The rear was built for the rim and tire package. I am using a small spacer for a centering ring. 9 inch centers up with the lugs.

Brian, I was out there saturday and sunday. Feel free to come by anytime. My cell is 704-564-5877. You pass right by my exit everytime you come down to the shop. I am off Idlewild at 485. So the shop car is back up and running. Has anything else been done to the car?

Scott has already hit me up for some video. I will take some when I fire it for the first time. I will have to be careful as not to make it too pornographic becasue I am sure that I will be sportin' wood.

The shop car is back on the road it had major trany leak and got put away in the corner and we were just too busy to work on it. I finally decided to start working on it in my spare time got all the leaks fixed, finally found where that terrible miss was coming from. Put the rest of the interior together and we actually have gages now. We bought a Covans dash insert. I have heard several complaints about the quality of these, but I though it was a very nice piece and the American Autowire wiring kit it came with made the installation easy. I worked out the rest of the wiring gremlins the only thing left to do is get the RS head light doors functional.

I give you a call this Saturday after noon.

Wow...awesome!

What shade of Yellow is that?

[Payton King]

is Dodge Viper Racing Yellow...it really pops in the sunlight. It is very close to Chrome Yellow used on the 90's mustangs.

I plan to be there on Friday. I'll call you and we'll meet up.

I have a buddy who has his '69Z painted in Viper Yellow and another with a '70 Boss 302 in Viper...thought it looked familar.

I thought about Screaming Yellow ('05-'06 Mustang) before I settled on Millenium Yellow ('06 Z06).

I like the hood. Did that style of hood come on a 69 from the factory?
