Four members showed up last night at the John Force Cruise night - Donna, Mustanger, Joe and Tworings. It was touch and go if Buttercup was going to make her debut - we were having issues getting the rear view mirror to adhere. Donna's ambulance was a bit hit, and she even got recognition over the loud speakers. There was even an original owner GTCS there! Hopefully these pictures will satisfy Donna's "Fan Club" :grin: And Paul - for you a picture of Buttercups new wheels - great suggestion!

<<<<<< Hiring Lisa as my public relations agent.

I had to take two cars!! LOL! It was Mustang day at the show,and it was a great turnout. That blue CS original owner had a 390 too! Beautiful car. I had my CS parked next to the Med Sled but then the Legend Lime Registry guys showed up and forced me to move my car next to theirs, they even asked a lady to move her car so I could park next to them. I should have taken a picture, there were three lime new cars and then mine. A lime 67 convert. came in later.

The TwoRings' Miss Buttercup was beautiful! I loved the wheels and color combo. We were so glad they made it!

Mustanger...get that picture of David in the pedal car on here...he was a handsome little future Mustanger!

Great show and a fun time, I'm planning on going again,especially the holiday show in December. It makes it so much more fun when the site members are there!

Thanks Amy! It's a 1970 Sayers and Scovill Cadillac. 8,000 pounds of handmade steel with a 472 engine. A great grocery getter!

Hey Donna,

This Cruise was very cool!! I met TwoRings and Donna, saw so many Mustangs, and even John Force's Exibits/Museum ... I was in Mustang Heaven!!!
Here's the pic you requested, Donna (I guess my little guy didn't smile this time...):

... and here's some more pics ...

In the 1st pic you can see my better 1/2 and my little guy checking out the "Popeye" fiberglass body among the many bodies that Force had on display, the blue CS is the one that Donna spoke about earlier, then there's the MED SLED, and then there was the girl with the green Boss 302 which was featured in the latest Mustang Monthly ... too much fun!!!

Lisa, Buttercup lookin' good. 'Like the Shelby rims too?

Tim - you DID notice that I'm wearing my shirt too? Right? :grin: Although I guess I'll need a new one since I changed my wheels. LOL

Looking good! She sits a little higher in the back because my husband put 16" wheels on back and 15" wheels on front. One thing - the yellow on my shirt seems to have a little too much "green" in it - can you color correct a little?

Doesn't hurt it unless the back end is super-high and the front is super-low. At that point there is too much force on the front wheel bearings and bad things happen evey 10,000 mile or so.

Yeah, we can color correct... There was a learning curve on some of those early ones due to language barrier between computer/ printer and the precise colors of the cars.

... my pleasure, we'll have to all meet again ... perhaps the John Force Christmas Show, or even the Route 66 Show - like the thread you started elsewhere ...

It's okay for the car but you can't rotate tires in an X pattern. Have to rotate side to side. I have bigger tires on the rear of my lowrider Suburban and it's never been a problem.
