Trying to clean up the garage, I still have stuff out from last summer from working on the Cavaliar. Built some shelves to put the general stuff on. Took alot of stuff off the floor!

Also took some tire and put some mods on the Computer! lol I put switches onto the front bay so I can shut off the fans in the case. 80% of the time they don't all need to be running and the computer sounds like a vaccuum with them on!

Today went to a flea market with the parents and my little brother. Found a set of "Power by Ford" valve covers that supposedly came off a Ford 460 big block. I decided to give them a good home. Plans are to clean them up, repaint them blue. Paint up the "Power by Ford" logo, and clear coat. They make some nice garage ornaments!

And spent the week trying to reorganize my room and the basement with all my stuff from college. Takes forever to get itall put away so I can take it out again in 3 months and move back into the dorms. That and tookd some time to watch movies and a night out to visit a few friends. :laugh:

I always thought it would be funny to slap an SVT badge on your car and see if anybody calls you out for it. I bet if you told people (outside of this forum) that it was an SVT model, they'd believe you. lol Car looks:drool:with the wheels tho. *thumbs up*
 
Win. Where is that photoshop of the mailbox on your hood, Zero? I'm having a tough time finding the thread where there was that pic and the one with the rabbit LOL.
