    Since the spoiler bolts to the trunk and the end pieces bolt to the body I wouldn't think that the bumper is the issue.

    Hmmm, ill have to think it over. the car is set up for drag race right now. i could throw in the 3.25 third member. i would have to give it a good test drive before i drive it that far.

    its been like that for years! pintos out numbers us by 4 to 1. i'd rather be round them then stuck up mustang people. ;) but as for the focus' and probes we out number them for sure. i just don't get it.

    as i said before ford and ford events always treat us like the red headed step child. when ford starts giving us props then i will think about putting the ford logo back on my car. ;)

    ok lets touch base when we get closer. anyone else want to join us for our lone 4 to 5 maverick / comet cruise down to knotts in the morning?

    good story board is good! i'm sick of telling people about your car. lol! this year i was going to just tell them i build it and you bought it from me. lol! :D

    You should see all the Focus and Probes at Carlisle. They fill the rows...then start parking in the middle and between the rows. They run out of room every year.

    We can get our own catagory by having a rep on the show board. I was on the board for a few years with the Falcon Club. You also then get a club booth in the grass area to recruit more people.

    just enter it so you can get some parking! again who cares if the car is finshed or not! it still has to look 1000xs better then the disco ball pinto! lol!

    hum maybe. post up the show info so i can check it out. is it one of those shows that runs for like two days? not to sure if i would do that though.

    anyways i've done tons of stuff to the garbage truck and its ready for any show!! ;)
