So I am not super active on this site, mainly because I am on quite a few, with SVTP being my main one...that aside, I try to check in here every few days and see what is up. Well imagine my surprise when I see my car as one of the banners at the top of the site! I just wanted to let Matt (or whoever is responsible for making them) know that I am honored to represent the site :thumb: It's come a long way since its start, and I plan to try and be more active on this forum in the future

sure do

here are some from right before winter hit. Spring time will bring a few changes, it'll be breathing deeper and barking louder thanks to systemax heads, more porting on the upper and lower intakes, 75mm TB, 80mm maf, and 1 5/8 LT's. I can't wait to get all the new parts on

Hands down the cleanest 5.0 I've seen in a LONG time. Where'd you get all the engine dress up stuff like the pulleys, strut tower brace, radiator cover, etc?

The pulleys are just painted silver right now, I'm probably going to get the Wazee aluminum PS and idler pulleys and throw those on though, the radiator cover is from UPR, and I made the strut tower brace myself from 1 3/4" seamless DOM .095" wall steel tubing for a metal project when I was in school at VT. Nothing better than getting college credit to make something for your car!

Your car does have superb paint!! I really like that side exhaust too. I had the same for mine, but went with dumps! Is the 'strut tower bar' that bar over the motor itself? I think it is and that looks great, as well!

Very nice! Its good to see a really clean one since the Rio Red cars always seem to have the clear coat failure problems. Good work keeping it that clean man. :thumb:
I plan to get my RR Cobra painted later this year.
