    My CS almost got onto the new John's Mustang catalog cover

    The photographer figured out the blue color does not work well with the cover they are planning. Sooooo they are going to use my 68.5 Cobra Jet fastback for the cover instead (they used my 68 Gold coupe for the current catalog). Photo shoot is this Sunday. :grin:

    You might be a redneck if................

    You have a 68 Cobra Jet motor in the trunk of your Mercedes, a license plate that reads JODIRT and a guard cat named Bud. Anyone else see the humor in this? :tongue:

    Looks like the new NPD catalog will have a CS on it

    looking through the Muscle Machines magazine and the last page has a NPD ad. It shows the new catalogs and a light blue CS is on the Mustang catalog. Too bad it has incorrect taillight bezels (black trim).

    Sunday afternoon project for the Cobra Jet

    Finally found the last piece to the engine puzzle. I have a bunch of stuff to put on my CJ but needed this one to be able to start. The correct intake arrived a few days ago and I stripped it down , wire brushed it and repainted it. Ready to drop on next week.
