What you don't see in this photo is the stuff under the car...Kenny Brown emptied his catalog into the211 views...chassis of this puppy! Track-it panhard bar, full extreme matrix brace sub system, K member brace, rear strut tower brace, front strut tower brace, caster plus, sport springs, and Bilistien self adjust soprt struts complete the package! More photos will follow when we get it back up on a rack!

Hey, if you are going to LEAD by example, you better make sure they're BEHIND you on the track!

This car was (supposed to be) a find...213 viewsRust free, updated drivetrain, the seller said. "All it needs is a battery, an alignment, and some minor dings in the passenger door."

This car is like a MULLET...238 viewsAll business up front and a PARTY in the back!

The box hides the rear strut tower brace and shows off the wicked cool 15" Subwoofer!

The engine bay needs some help still...253 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.

The automobile is the most dangerous weapon...298 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.

That orange thing isn't a snake...239 views...that is the power suppy line for the Excel Audio of Wauconda, IL designed and installed as part of their sponsorship.

Sweet caster plus and tower brace, makes the car stiff and shoot straight were you point it...238 views...no wonder guys like racing ;)

Rear firing speakers will carry the story of Brett's death and the message...299 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.

Nice pipes, babe.225 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...

New Paint, awaiting the new tranny from D&D Performance120 views

It was born black with white vinyl "LeMans" stripes...206 views...that they tried to remove by hacking at them with a razor knife. The Government is right, box cutters should be banned.

It even has a docking station for my laptop...230 views...with a power inverter to pug it in and video and audio out to play the 7 minute trailer to "Flying over Cuda" and short form documentary created by Jonathan Skogmo, Brett Karlin's cousin.

If you overlooked the...212 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

I picked Sublime Green because...250 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!

Flying Over Cuba....227 views...we can play the whole movie too!

Everything you DON'T see in this photo was bought at a special sponsor rate from...216 viewshttp://50resto.com They came to the rescue so many times, I'd have to create a webpage just for them to list it all. Thanks guys!

Discount Tire Co Inc. donated these 17 x 9 Cobra R rims and tires, yep those are fat 275's out back!235 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?)

A customer tried to help the basket case by squirting Sublime Green...227 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?
