    Changed my oil, filter, inspected suspension components and shot a little grease in fittings. Had 2800 miles since last change. Getting ready to make the NSRA Kalamazoo, MI. event on the 16th. along w/ some local events B4 then. Had a little antifreeze leak - snugged all the heater hose clamps down. I think that was the problem contributing to the leak. When I finished the work I was too tired to test drive - so will do testing later this week.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Looked at it from ten feet away, then I ran back inside the house because it's been like 115 everyday for the past 3 weeks.

    Way too hot to be working on the car, but I've been saving up for this bad boy:

    I started it today... I don't like it to sit to long without starting it. afew months ago I did a small bumper conversion and paint/body work on the valances I got from a salvage yard, I have a shelby drop kit from daze... not that I have that I don't know if I'll do it because of the inner support has a small notch that may need some reinforcement... I've had afew people ask if I want to sell it... I've been thinking really hard on that one...
