finished trunk off(more pics on audio pg.3)                    

Got the idea for the custom paint job while checkin out a mustang gt 500 with the rally racing stripe.  The Rally racing stripes are Ford blue along with all the blue all over the entire car.  I color matched all Ford blue and black.

 The motor blew in 2005 and the #3 piston had a hole burned through it the size of an egg. I was in Germany at the time so I had to take it to a Porsche race shop to have my motor rebuilt.  It cost me an arm and a leg to have the engine redone by them but they used some pretty awesome internals.
I love constantly working on my car as much as possible. Most modifications and upgrades have been done by myself.
