I hope to have the long tube headers on the T/A along with sub frame connectors/tubular adjustable pan hard rod/borla kit welded up/new plugs/etc.

Urgh! Just got my car back from its overhaul less than a month ago and what do I see last night, a dime size chip off the paint on the hood. It's not just a ding either -- it goes all the way through four clear coats, the paint and the primer -- to the metal!

It's going to get fixed this week -- the whole hood has to be re-sanded, primered and painted! Not to mention four coats of clear! I'm so pi$$ed! Plus there's two scratches down the side -- needless to say I'm livid! But, hopefully all will be fixed before Saturday.

Anybody want to see FordGirlGone POSTAL!

Other than that, just wash, wax and lots of chrome polish and I'm good to go.

No amount of washing and polishing helps my car. The only things I have to do are possibly vaccum some carpet and dust a little.

I have no idea - I guess it could be somebody cutting grass or something threw a rock at it or something. Just when you get something nice, something has to go and fuzz it up.

Finished this up last weekend to seal to the cowl hood:

edit-I could probably sell a washing machine that looked like this to gearheads. Call it the RONCO 9000 or something. Does your laundry in 12 seconds and looks good while doing it!!

Better to ask what projects people won't get to. It will be funnier. I have a complete front end with Spohn A arms also a new top. I gave up on both before the show.
