We worked on the car all weekend. We finished up to the point where my son
can finally start driving it again.

We got his A/C working and it's now blowing ice cold air. We also managed
to get all the lights/turn signals/etc. back in working order.

That new aluminum head certainly added some "kick" to the car. Cruising at
55 I floored the accelerator and was surprised to find that I was pushed
back into the seat! It used to be a slow, gradual increase until we reached
75 mph or so. Now it's a much more rapid acceleration.

The new components from my son's web-store: www.rpmustang.com look
fantastic! We installed the new engine bay covers and interior rear
quarters this weekend. They came out pretty darned nice!

Tires are BFG Radial T/A's

Changed over to a dual M/C several years back and dropped in a Mustang Steve power booster at the same time so we have enough stopping power.

We're considering a front disc conversion in the near future.
