    Irie is officially road worthy

    This winter it got a new shaker hood, new front coil springs and new leaf springs.  I used all Scott Drake parts!  Progressive front coils and mideye 4 1/2 leaf rear springs!  I believe I have fixed my front end problems.  More testing is needed

    Re: Irie is officially road worthy

    Lookin better than ever!  Did you use part # C5ZZ-5310-PR (scott drake springs)?   I bought those springs for my ride.  

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Terry, I watched Americarna, 50 years of Mustangs tonight. They showed Bob Segar's 65 fastback. If yours did not have the shaker scoop, one would swear they were the same car!!
    Looks great. Sure hope you guys from up there will drive them to the bash in September.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Ohhhh Yeahhhhhhhh!!! Looks slick. I want to see it when you hammer it through the gears. See if the scoop just leans to one side or what! Need action video.
    Terry McG took me for an "action rip through the gear right out in  frony of your hose......Seemed like a great place to....."cut-it-loose"!!

    Sal, when you click on the link it brings up a download page. There is a little red arrow in the lower left corner of the page. Right click on it and a drop down box should appear. Click on (open link in new window) and let it download. See if that works, unless you already did it that way.
