Nice, Josh. Any performance perks to it? Maybe fights the heat better? Or just for looks. Real CF is pricey!
You won't mind if I drive by you and whistle and say "hey baby, lemme see what you got under the hood" while winking...right?

another update: Just bought this! + the 2 post bracket (not in pic)
http://www.americanmuscle.com/barton...fter-mt82.html
No more missing 3rd gear and more accurate snappy shifting improving on the sloppy MT-82 trans. and weak shifter FORD installed in the Mustang GT. This piece gets rave reviews from both STREET and TRACK usage. Very very popular and approved! Can't wait! It will be here Friday. And we all know, it may be installed Friday...lol!
U talking about Steve B.? Doesn't he have a Vette? Older model right?

* SHAFT MASTER's 1pc aluminum light weight drive shaft (18lbs vs 32+ and 1pc vs 2 pc weak and breaks OEM)
* McLeod TWIN DISK RST Clutch (800+hp capacity.)
...and that is all really, I am really coming down to the end of the road for a full bolt-on build and all around balance STREET/RACE approved car. After this would be nothing else but real "Get Down" ... Maybe even a BLOWER!

My bad, thought you had a older stingray (late 60s). Nice pick up brother. Very nice! Those LS motors are something else to. All the money I have into my Coyote doesn't add up to what you can throw at a LS. For example, LS all u need exhaust, cams and CAI and that bish is nasty! They respond like Monsters to mods.

The BARTON Ind. shifter arrives tomorrow. We all know where I will be doing this weekend NEXT: Will be SHAFT MASTERS or DynoTech's light weight 1 pc aluminum drive shaft. Although $100+ more expensive, I may go with the DynoTech since it seems to be widely used by NHRA, IHRA NAASCAR and other major race labels. That is pretty impressive to have that line up under your belt backing your product. Plus 18lbs drive shaft vs Shaft Masters (approx) 25lbs ~ STOCK IS 35LBS.

Things have been slow here on this end since I was on vacation from May 5-9th with 3 Birthdays (Mine 4th, Son 7th and Daughter 8th...Lets not forget Mother's Day ) and we all went to Disney. It was GREAT! Off time much needed! Now back to the grind & reality. As for the Mustang, just made one of my last Big Ticket purchases before calling it quits or running out of performance mods available to purchase... SHAFT MASTERS 1pc Light Weight Aluminum Drive Shaft. I hear nothing but Rave Reviews regarding this item...CAN'T WAIT! Hopefully received and installed on time for STREET WARZ!

After detailing the car I decided to take a few shots yesterday before the sun went down. Here is 1 pic I am sharing with continuous tech tips on shooting from Adam (PredatorBird). I think I am getting it bud Thanks for all your help since I purchased this camera! I may start getting out more instead of giving up on this T3i
eh...here is a few more I edited myself. I will get the hang of enhancements soon. Right now, just trying to capture good pics...and maybe even a better spot

What's up fellas...Been quiet here on my end just getting things done slowly. Went to the track again and slightly improving by every visit. Best Time 1/8th: 7.87 with 1.87 60ft. Still learning and adjusting the car. Next time out looking for more improvements on my end. GOAL: 7.4s-7.5s with a 1.6s 60ft. Until then, Just installed my SHAFTMASTERS 1pc Aluminum light weight draveshaft
and my NEW street set up arrived. NEWLY RELEASED (Bought the day they were released...stalker) SVE DRIFTS "Dark Stainless" 19x9.5 (4) Planning to wrap 255/40 front and 285/35 rear.
Better track times to come! Back at it June 14th at SHOWTIME DRAG STRIP "Street Warz"

True. I decided on the color since it already exist stock here and there with the black mudered theme including the wheel logo on the center caps from Race Star and "Brembo" on the brakes. So, Ima run with it. I will eventually redo the calipers RED vs the gawd awful ashtray dry finish Ford gave em. U have to see in person to get what I am saying.

I would refer to the finish more as a sand paper finish. Maybe a high grit like 200 or so to best describe it finished in flat grey (ash). But its completely fine to sand, prep and coat them or powder coat them. The fellas have done it alredy with outstanding results just like they cam from BREMBO or Ford themselves. Its sorta like what Ford did to the rear ends allowing it to flash rust. The rust itself acts as a coating. I personally pasted a scotch pad over it and painted black. Its been a few months since, still awesome finish all black vs that awful "RUST" finish.
