Total Cost Involved parts


I've owned a 66 Mustang convertible body for some years now and its time to get busy with that thing. This week I received a truck load of parts from Total Cost Involved. This includes a Mustang 2 front end set up with coil over springs 2 inch dropped spindles,and sway bars. The rear end set up is coil over also and sub frame connectors with a three link. Soon I plan to take the original suspension out and put it on the rotisserie for sand blasting and assembly.

Goodguys Nashville show





Jill took me to the Goodguys show in Nashville I was surprised that they were able to get it all cleaned up so fast after the floods. The show was really nice ,and at the gate they were collecting for the flood victims plus the Goodguys Organization were going to match the total !, what a great gesture .We spent the whole day wandering around checking the rides and watching the g-course racing that was cool some of those guy could really get around twisty turns fast with lots of tire squealing going on .So many of the cars were really so high end and sooo bad assed !Ok so now back to the real world .

Hot BBQ team






I got a chance to help out the CMP BBQ team they are a new team with a nice trailer.The spare tire needed a cover ,so I welded one up and smoothed it out and painted some true fire on it with their logo in gold leaf and a bit of pin stripe ! Charlie Peri ,the "P"in CMP was happy with it , he says it will set them apart from other teams and catch your eye. I'm glad he's happy ,it turned out well maybe I'll get some BBQ out of the deal!Randy GIbson printed their tee shirts up off of a design i was able to come up with and he did a great job on them .Randy does such cool custom work even on some small orders,he's easy to work with .
