    Christmas at bearcats

    Delivery drivers have been dropping off boxes the last two days. I have all new springs , shocks , swaybar. And new bushings plus the parts to rebuild the front end. But there's more I got 
    The dyi kit from daze for the roller spring perches.  And my power rack and pinion. 
      Amazing what happens when you pull the engine out. I got bitten by the monster.

    Congrats!  I hope it goes smoothly for you.  I just finished bushings, tie rods, ball joints and control arms and rear springs myself.  It's at the alignment shop today.  Mine was a belated Father's Day, lol

    Well, it seems you lead a charmed life.  Now, if your springs were anything like mine, you'll need to adjust your headlights.... Keep us posted on how the front goes.

    A quick up date on the front end, It has been a slow process due to work and my kids stuff, My son is a freshman and is playing foot ball and doing well. He is also in the the marhing band and doing great. so my wife and I are going many differant directions. My daughter is also playing in the band band but in JR. High. So anyone who has been a booster knows the time commitment. I am loving itI have always been there for the kids.
     With that in mind back to the mustang... I got the kit from Daze for the roller perhes and have almost completed them next will be the Upper A arms. I did pull the trigger and got the Steeroids power rack. So my to do list is long ant the moment.

    Kids need to be enjoyed while they are there.  Junior high is not far from leaving for college or a career.  Car will still be there...

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