Drove it like I stole it,which was good.Also put my elbow through a seam in the drivers seat( and opened up a 4 inch gap),which wasn't good..... ::)

Does your car have original upholstery?  If so, that is a bummer.

No thank God it's not original.I had the seats custom made.The passenger side seating surface is the original comfortweave,but the drivers side (which I screwed up) is repop  "comfortweave"(the pressed stuff).I do have the original drivers side comfortweave inserts stored for future use.If it had been original I would have been really pissed.As it is its more like ...whatever....It didn't reduce the enjoyment of the drive a bit...easy fix. ;)

That is good news indeed.  It is comforting to know you have the correct material in reserve.

Yeah,well the repop stuff is far from correct,but I can assure you it feels much better if you put your elbow through it I am sure..I was lucky in that it split on the seam by the welting.Should (presumably)be a relatively easy fix for my upholstery guy.....

Finally got the exhaust done on the 67 500. Hooray!

Super 10s might need a little more help?

Impressive exhaust!   Love the cutouts.

Gave 2 16 year old girls(my daughter and her friend)a "history lesson"(i.e. scared the hell out of them) with a "spirited" romp about town in the gt500.They seemed to enjoy it 8)

This weekend I will begin to detail out #23 as it will be on display at the Keel's and Wheel's Concours near Clear Lake Texas April 30th and May 1st.
Anyone else attending? 

Trying to locate my linen pants, large lapel shirt, Birkenstocks, large face watch and more importantly a "sneer" for those "other" cars.

Randy, just open the hood - that'll knock 'em over ;-)

This morning #1154 got out of the garage and went for a front end alignment; Been trying to find time & opportunity to do this for quite a while; All was good - had a great professional to do the work; Had a lot of "lookie lous" stop in to check out the car while it was in public; Home safe & sound now ..... But covered with pollen..... "Yikes"

Rebuilt the rear brakes with correct Fairlane cylinders and new linings  - big improvement!🙂.

Filled the gas tank £90 (~$115) 😕 in preparation for trip out to The Classic Motor Barn in the Cotswolds (UK) tomorrow 🙂
