Medusa

[67SuperSnake]

I officially named her Medusa

Here are some pictures of the car just after I did the first exterior detail. I will get some better shots in the near future.

I replaced the factory front swaybar with a 1" from NPD. Factory was either 5/8" or 11/16". The kit came with 1" mounts, which I did not know. I purchased this 1" bushing kit.

The factory swaybar causes the end links to be tilted back, when used with the coilover suspension (see pic).

I heard you would have problems using a 1" swaybar with an FE. I seem to have no clearance issues. Only problem with this bar is that it does hit the frame when the tires are lifted off the ground. So this should only be a problem when I pull my General Lee "jump the river" trick.

I used the old end link bolts and had to shorten the bolt spacer in the (middle) about 3/8".

That camera can make a monkey look like a pro. I tried to make a blurry picture by sweeping the camera across and snapping the shutter. NO BLURR AT ALL.

It has so many functions, and I'm sure I will try to learn some of them, but the auto setting is very good.

It is a blast to drive. But I hate when people will stalk you on the freeway. Move on, you're blocking traffic. Or I have to drive faster. That wont be a problem. ha

Got her up to a buck 20 (for you guys that dont like street racing, that is a 120 miles per gallon). Surprisingly smooth. Quickly came upon other MGP enthusiasts. Had to hit the brakes.

Here is some of the newer photos out of the garage:

I am a muscle car fan. Any year between 67-73. As long as it is the sh#T. Decide on the 67stang because it is my favorite.

I just got my EWR plates and installed the fender tag. I am getting the door sill plates engraved later on today and will install them, also. I used 3M Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive. It is clear, and I thought it might be better than 2 sided tape.

I am entering Medusa in the MOCA (Mustang Owners Club of Austin) Mustang & Ford Show in Austin on August 4th (http://www.mocatx.com/CarShow/Content.asp)from 10am - 2 pm.

I just got back from the 27th annual Mustang Owners Club of Austin, Mustang/Ford show. I put my car in the Modified 64-78 mustang class. Medusa was an attention whore.

She won a Class Award (runner up in class) and the Participants' Choice (everyone who entered the show gets to vote on their favorite). There were a lot of entrants and spectators there.

Cool car! That camera takes great pics. Who did the artwork of Medusa? I'm a fan of all kinds of muscle cars but I'm partial to Pontiacs.

I just posted up a short video highlighting the exhaust sound and a little burnout.
