Hey, what did you do with those "chevrolet" valve covers you had on it in the other pics? And when do we get to see some more pics?

Went to try and take some pics of the ride but it didn't get any good shots because its soo tight in the garage. Here are a couple pics of the engine and dry sump mockup.

I think I may have a solution, Jones offers a bracket to mount an alternator on your rear end. That may take care of one...

Ahhh I think all the headaches will be worth it in the long run. After talking to a couple people I got a steal on all the dry sump parts.

Hopefully you're single, that car will get you a lot of kitty cat

Looks great, black has to be the best color ever laid on a car

WOW, can I say this has been the best week ever. We were scheduled to go to Johns Hopkins monday night to have Nicolas but got a call as we were leaving saying that they wanted to wait until the morning if possible. It was fine with me since I had the week off so Jessica and I took the night to relax have a nice dinner and just enjoy each others company. I've been soo busy on the mustang I really missed spending quality time together. Tuesday morning 4am came around way too soon. We got to Hopkins 6ish and started the process.

Labor was long, almost 24 hours. She had some good pain medicine so we had a chance to laugh and enjoy each other before the baby got here. Wednesday morning @ 4:46 AM Nicolas came and was absolutely beautiful.
