Hurry, Hurry, Wait.

Checklist in hand, helpers at the ready, and parts carefully arrayed across the driveway - Sunday dawned with the promise of hearing an engine roar, and a crew cheer. The day would end in disappointing silence.

Giving Thanks

Hundreds of years ago - some brave individuals left the comfort and safety of far-away lands in search of fortune and adventure. It certainly wasn't easy - nothing worth while is. They eventually overcame challenge after challenge (often with available horsepower in the single digits!) and founded the tradition of Thanksgiving in celebration. Having a kinship in-spirit with these stubborn and tireless trail-blazers, we offer our thanks this year in their honor.

A Horse of Another Color

We've been cobbling this car together using cast-off parts from just about every year Fox Mustang ever made. And for weeks we've been finishing little projects and components - always ending the day feeling dead-tired, and remiss that things aren't getting done fast enough. Every week that is except this week.

Safe!

I love it when the there is a knock on the door, and you can see the UPS truck through an opening in the drapes. Hurray UPS! Our team mate Rich has been on the innergoogle, and scored us some arm restraints, window net, and 6 point harness. (Sorry Chris, they don't make this stuff in pink.)


A big shout out to Corner-Carver Member 47CP - he hooked us up with a good deal for the safety stuff at http://www.soloperformance.com/ You know the deal - if you need some race gear, please support the businesses that are helping us out!

So, You're Saying There's a Chance.

Effort this weekend. Lot's of nagging little jobs complete. However - apparently we missed a big sale item from the car that could have helped our budget out. I had no idea the market value of a solid convertible door until after I carved it up with a plasma cutter. If you're gonna be stupid - ya gotta be tough.

Slow & Painful Progress

ME: "We'll get the guys together, probably only need 4-5 weekends, and we'll be testing the car by November 1st"
SKEPTIC on the PHONE: "Yeah, sounds good. What could go wrong?"
