It is funny how things work out. I have a 65 Mustang that was my first car. I bought from the original owner in 1978. I restored and drove thru college and grad school. I parked it and kept in the garage in 86. My plan was to give it to my son some day. On his 16th birthday I gave it to him and said we would fix it up. He later told my wife that he did not want to hurt my feeling but really did not want it. I was hurt at first but then realized he had never seen the car running or even been in the car. Then it hit me he grew up with the 99 many memories of car shows, outings, driving him to school ect... his connection was to the 99. That's when I decided to give him the 99. Probably going to sell the 65 due to limited garage space.

That's great! Your son will get to enjoy the hobby with you. Great family time for you both!

Sam your close. That is the reservoir for the after cooler. Just fill it up with ice water. Let some air out of the slicks, Dump the clutch at about 3500 and you will cover a 1/4 mile in 10.95 seconds at about 125 mph. There is nothing like it. I'm hoping the 2016 does a little better. That is a new Z06 1/4 mile time for half the cost. But what is even better is an old fat guy like me can fit in it.

Well after 4 months the new baby finally arrived. I have done some mods already, but the big one is coming tomorrow. I'm picking up the Supercharger. The weather sucks I have had the car for 6 days and it has rained on 5. I am trying to get some break in miles before the double screws go on. I have not gone over 40 mph.
