This car was (supposed to be) a find...210 viewsRust free, updated drivetrain, the seller said. "All it needs is a battery, an alignment, and some minor dings in the passenger door."

If you overlooked the...210 views...four lug wheels with 3rd degree curb rash being held only 2 lugs each, non working door locks, drvers window that won't go up, a siezed belt tensioner, clapped out shocks and struts, 3" of side to side spindle travel on the front end, bad front wheel bearings, a bad front spindle, finger tight strap bolt on the rearend, spent brakes, no e-brake, a starter solenoid that sticks, trashed AC, a clutch that was going, a body that looked like it survived a hail storm, etc. l He was right, it did need a battery

It was born black with white vinyl "LeMans" stripes...204 views...that they tried to remove by hacking at them with a razor knife. The Government is right, box cutters should be banned.

A customer tried to help the basket case by squirting Sublime Green...224 views...lighter colors don't snow body imperfections the way darker ones do. It is apparent that this pony still needs a healthier coat, no matter the color. Any paint companies or resto shops feel like sponsoring a car for a good cause?

I picked Sublime Green because...248 views...I always loved to look at Mopars. I picked the Mustang because I love to drive Fords. Mother Mopar and Uncle Henry both put in a "timeout" for this creation. It doesn't matter, the generation coming up behind us don't know any better. Besides, the kids love it and the adult "old school" guys hate. Now, I know I'm doing something right. Afterall, this one is made for the kids!

Discount Tire Co Inc. donated these 17 x 9 Cobra R rims and tires, yep those are fat 275's out back!234 views275's out back are screaming, "Dude, can we have a little room here? How about rolling those fender lips?" The fronts are whinning for spacers to avoid rubbing on the control arms. A 5 lug conversion would be a nice remedy for better rim choices. KNOCK, KNOCK! (Bear Brakes, are you listening?)

Nice pipes, babe.223 viewsMAC True Fit 2.5" HTC cat-back exhaust with 3" chrome tips make een this stock mill sound Bulldog mean. An aluminzed 2.5" X pipe I snagged off of eBay gets the job done from the headers to the the MAC-Daddy muffers...

The engine bay needs some help still...248 views...I ripped off all the Boy Racer decals that kept the build up of grime off of most of the engine bay. You can see the newness of the Kenny Brown townr brace and the Caster Plus contrast the junkyard freshness of the rest of engine compartment. Soon we will chuck the non-operative A/C system to save weight and beautify simultaneously until the budget will allow for a new freezer to be installed.

Rear firing speakers will carry the story of Brett's death and the message...295 views...that a passion for cars is not bad but it is dangerous and needs to be done on the track, not the street. Andy Short, Brett's best friend and the driver of the car that night on Cuba road, courageously bares witness and responsibility for the consequences of the decisions made that night in August 2004. He has shared that to more than 18,000 highschool kids from that day to this, speaking in front of large crowds of young people just like your children. It is up to us to carry that message forward.

The automobile is the most dangerous weapon...296 views...we give to our young men and women as a right of passage to becoming an adult. They need and deserve the proper training that goes WAY beyond driver's ed class. Let's take 'em to the track and teach show them their limits before they find out like Brett Karlin and Andy Short did.
