I installed an Electric Life power window regulator kit in the front and a power door lock kit.
It was a good day.

they'll be sold with the car if/when it goes...just not my style
After talking extensively with our local Diff expert, MowPar and I tried to squeeze a few more horsies out of my GTX this afternoon. It seems that the first items to check are the fuel quality and vacuum along with timing and carb tuning (basic stuff really).
So I drained the last of the 95 octane gas out of the tank, I filled up with a mix of 98 octane and some Race gas to see what happened. An instant change in exhaust note, so we advanced the timing, and went for a test run. I haven't felt the car to be that exciting in a long time. Loaded up the crew (5 of us) and went for a rural run to check out the performance with some real weight in the car. No pinging or backfiring at all, it was a very successful run. So back to the shed now, and test the traction out on a concrete surface....
It might be a while before these marks wear away..... :eusa_whistle:

That certainly helped cross a few items off the "to-do" list :yes:
I told MowPar that this will probably be the closest that a FORD gets to a decent burnout.

Hung the front bumper up temporarily to see how it would look with the 66 Charger front grille and the swept back fender nose's. I likes it....

Thanks, it's a one-off, made by a friend for myself. Not available or will be copied[by him/per him..LOL]. It was a blank of billet to start with. The amount of time he put into it, to duplicate what I had, is crazy. Lots of programming. He corrected the piss-poor quality/location of the water-pump holes, as well. That chassis company stuff is really not very good....but works.

I've been giving my website a serious overhaul since June. Although it was sooner than I intended through an erroneous click on the Publish button lol, the all new PhoenixSpecialtyCoatings.com debuted last night.
Your time, comments and suggestions are always welcome and highly appreciated. Please note I still have testing underway and will continue to beef it up and organize as time allows.
Among the revisions are dozens of new work samples, most being distinctive custom car **** (lots of them are for FBBO Members!). The FABO Discount also changed, but yours did not due to all the fabulous customers who've jumped on board here. Registered FBBO Members receive 5% off the labor, and Gold members and honored Veterans/military enjoy their customary 10% labor discount.
Thanks in advance for taking a few moments to check it out!!. The link by my signature below still gets you there.
