Sweet build and success Sal. Now I'm resettled I'll be out to get my rims in a few weeks.

Oh we put them on the new mustang and have been doing burnouts all day....I didn't think you wanted them anymore

 

[Fabman]

But those are only for the olde Mustangs !!

Hahaha, that's fine. I'll consider that the storage fee.

I'm kidding of course....
I can deliver them, that was our agreement.
Unless you want to visit again, I won't stop you.

 

[byronj]

No need for you to deliver them. I need to get out and socialize more anyway.

I liked the brake duct inlets and spats as well. Will they fit a 2012?

I don't have a 2012 duct inlet available ATM although the current one MIGHT fit, I won't know until I have a donor car to test. I need to get some 11 and later's to smoke over....and bay area volunteers? The spats were custom made for my car because of the wide wheels and splitter.

 

[Mad Hatter]

I would volunteer but I am 5800 miles away. The wing is nice but I need to fix and paint my car first before spending big bucks. Right now its a pain,,,,To remove fender, need to open the door..... but I can't open the door so...... Hammer time.

I was at Laguna today with TKM motorsports spec mustangs and T2 mustang.
It was deep into the triple digits..I mean it was HOT!

T2 driver came in complaining of his feet burning up.
Specfab to the rescue!

We quickly installed one of our full length floor panels and after the next race used an IR gun to see the difference from the drivers protected floor and the un protected passenger floor.

The driver was very happy and won his event.
Not a bad result for a 10 minute instillation.

 

[Fabman]

Uhm, guys....I'm gonna have to get a bigger splitter.

Needs a bigger wing to balance the car. Do it!

I'm trying to balance out the one I got...have you seen it?
Somewhere a crop duster is scratching his head....

 

[Fabman]

Out with the old, in with the new. Unfortunately they no longer make them in blue and I hate the new color, but at least the car fits.

Time to start diagnosing the understeer issue?

Yup...and brakes.
I think i know the answer to both...stay tuned.

Another batch of 3" and 4" brake duct plates going together....

Jeeze, I don't suppose 5/8" toe out was doing me any good....

All these years I've used nothing but strings, bubbles and hard measurements.
The ONE TIME I trust a fancy machine it screws me.
Back to the stuff I can believe.
Sheesh!

 

[TMSBOSS]

That's a bunch. I run either straight up or out and 1/8".

Yeah it is.....I try to run 3/16's with toe boards.
This was with a computer alignment machine and somehow it was way out.
