Thanks guys. Just had a great Legal Seafood Omelet with lobster and crab meat at Logan. Will probably be the only thing I'll miss about this place. The freaks here go nuts over their Pats. GO KC!

Heh, when you have been in Ks. or Nebraska since 64, and your parents are from near KC ( Missouri ) , it has been easy to be a fan for decades!!!!!!!!
 
Go Rams!

I’m more of a Brady than Pats fan but go Pats!

Sorry Bill but much like Tracy, I'm a KC fans by default. I have Bronco season tickets and although I don't go to all the games, I do go to the KC game every year here in Denver and I don't wear red.

The build continues...

The next three mods have come and gone. One would think I would have learned by now.

I got on a Roush kick for whatever reason.
Bought some Roush hood struts (421236) and got rid of that hideous hood prop bar.

And then I wanted new pedals and went with the Roush kit (421124) with the dead pedal.

I saw this CPC finned fuse box cover (ENG-010-613) that reminded me of the Boss 302 on on top of the intake manifold and on it went.

All of the now reside in the ever growing extra parts bin in my basement.

More Roush stuff...

Roush brake fluid cap (421255)

And the Roush strut tower cap kit (421326)

These item still sit in the engine bay today.

For show, I decided to cover up the battery with a CPC cover (ENG-058-609)

and CPC master cylinder cover (ENG-058-609) - These items would be replaced with something fancier down the road.

I then killed two birds with one stone. I was so use to driving my Mountaineer with it's auto dimming rear view mirror and Home Link built in as well so I stumbled on this Gentex rear view mirror with both auto dimming and Home Link (GENK40A), so I had to have it for my Boss. It was nice to get rid of that clip on garage door opener although when I had to buy two new garage door openers for the house, I could not get the Home Link to work with it.

Again these dam forums were giving me more and more things to put on my Sweet Lorraine. Why have a thin long antenna when you could have a CravenSpeed Stubby (CRFM-0015-MU)
