why progress has slowed a bit on my lime gold GT/CS. I just had to share some photos of Flagstaff's latest winter storm. We have accumulated 25" of snow since Monday, and we are expecting another 36" by Friday!! As a result of these storms, I've been spending time blowing/shoveling snow instead of doing "important" things, like working on the GT/CS.
Before the storm hit, though, I got the car running, and I'm very pleased with the way the engine sounds and responds. The compression is 130 psi. in each cylinder at 7000 feet elevation and the dual exhaust is a WINNER! The exhaust sounds great and is a big improvement over the sound of a single exhaust. The front fenders are on (unfortunately, I chipped the paint in a couple of places), and they fit like original 1968 Mustang fenders fit....poorly, at best. My painter is going to repair the chips and then give it a final polishing so the stripes and chrome trim can be installed. I also installed Goodyear RWL polyglas tires, which really sets the car off.
If the snow stops for a while, I think I'll be able to meet the deadline of January 31st.
