  When I first bought my GT500 it had been sitting for over 10 years, I was planning on trailering it, but my brother talked me out of it, he said "When will you ever get a chance to drive a Shelby across country like that and not have to worry about the paint"? I explained to him that with it sitting so long, who knows what part might give out. He said, "I thought you could fix anything"? So my Ego and I took a very humbling and long trip from Arlington Wa to Tucson Az., but thats a story in itself! ::)

Time for Mobil 1 15w50 oil-filter change, wires, cap, rotor, plugs and valve adjust.

Those plugs suck with the pollution crap on,  oh well life in the big city !

Nice work!

1 Hour to change my plugs. 
;D
In my old 70 GT500 fully dressed with smog, tall LeMans valve covers, 1 piece export brace and a few home made tools I had plug changes down to less than 1.5 hours. With my current CJ car with no brace on and valve covers off(engine paint and bay detail) with no smog and running hookers I changed the plugs in less than an hour. Those plugs had been in the engine since I bought it in 2013 and I'm betting since before Dan's divorce. Gary
