No kidding! I have an 87 GT with over 250,000 (original motor) on it and a blower - It still rips! I'm assuming it'd go better with a new motor but that'll be later.

Hopperhawk - nothin' wrong with a little rust! I actually have to weld in some new floor pans. Damn salt! It was used daily for so many years (through college, etc.) in all weather...and I mean ALL weather.

Glad the last 6 posts had competely nothing to do with this awesome install. First off I vote we get those posts deleted from your thread.

Second, where are the pics you promised us months ago of your car!!! You had posted that you had gotten rear ended - is everything taken care of now?

Keep us updated

Everytime I get out to do some pics it rains or I come up with some other idea of how to make it better and blow my time into that. If the weather is good tomorrow I will get my camera out and take some pictures. My box and subs in the back are really custom and you will like it. Also the above I did the gps and mounted my rear cam. I have also already begun the planning stage of my molding project for the screen. I have some rough skeches of this also. I want to get all my ideas out becuase I have talked about alot of things I want to be able to control and also I want it made for the future...

I got this keyboard .. I also have a mini key which goes in the center console glove box. Its always nice if need be to pull out a full keyboard. This one is cool becuase it has a built in joystick mouse. I stick this in the passenger side glove box.







More to come

Glad to see more pics up. I am getting to some points in my install that I can take some pictures. I will have to update my worklog. Working with the 05 isn't too bad. They seem like they give you plenty of room to do just about anything. Looks great. Thanks for the RR skin. If you need somebody to help beta test the CF skin, let me know. I am still debating on which frontend to use myself. Kick *** job.
