    As if I don't have a gazillion other things to do to the car first! :slap:

    Anyway, I drilled a hole in a piece of plate, welded it to the roll-bar, mounted my camera on it and took off (not knowing how much tape I had left).


    It was a lovely day for a ride in the neighborhood. :bouncy:

    Glad y'all ejoyed the ride. I sure did! :D

    The next step is to get it dyno tuned (a$ $oon a$ I have the extra ca$h). It bogs down at WOT from start and hits the rev limiter too early (6K pill in it now). The power band of my tiny cam was supposed to help get my heavy '90 Mustang Convertible out of its tracks. I think I'll bump the limiter up when I make it to the dyno.


    Cool. Know anybody that can work on leveling seats? Otherwise, I can call you "Eileen" as long as your a passenger! ;)

    (inside joke)

    Hope you are friends with the cops. I am pretty sure you were exceeding some speed limits, maybe Exhibition of Power and Speed.

    Notice how the brake lights quickly came on when you pulled up behind that truck? Wonder what the he!! was going through his mind when you pulled up behind him. That was a nervous "application of brakes" if I ever saw one...he was sitting there stopped long before you got there, then "oh sh!$" hit those brakes!!!
