    got out of jury duty early, so I was able to get the car up to the muffler shop.. Thrush glass packs with 2.5 pipes off the long tube headers and turned out just in front of the rear tires.. Sounds awesome, it's at the alinement shop now....

    I remember those days. :thumbs2: Had a Merc with dual glass packs. Used to go by an industrial building with corrugated steel sides that would "ping" when the duals popped. Bet it drove the workers inside nuts. :rofl2:Now I like it a little quieter. :yup:

    Installed cobra wood steering wheel & shifter handle (Branda). Hint for any one else interested, get the hub for a 70 -74 ford! An early mustang has the key on the dash, not the column! Looks nice! (making "zoom, zoom" noises in my head!)

    The alignment is finished, my mechanic kept the car one more day so he could check my work and see if I missed anything... I should have it back today so I can drive it a little, before I take it to the show this saturday...
