RUFDRAFT Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well - the Garage is wide open today! Yeah - Ruf had a good time today with the Bow Ties. Got a chance to take a look at PK's digs. Sweet place. Lots of nice interior touches. Met his son's too. Nice young men. Too dam hot to Zaino anything. Plus I've got some sort of cold - feel kinda lousy. PK got Froggy while driving behind Ruf on the way to lunch today. He kept darting around behind me - I felt like I had Ron Fellows behind me! :happy feet: Great pics, StangWorshipper - I'll post a few in a little bit here. I like the Reflection shots! Thanks again for the paint, Chris - next lunch is on me. I'm going to try and do one wheel a day as soon as it cools off a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Did you paint them, Chris? Looks very pro. Is it just a high-temp paint or a special caliper paint? No - he did what StangLover did - the exchange deal - OEM's for powdercoated calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had the patience or the time but I dont so I paid to have them powdercoated. The guy who does them will probaly powdercoat anything and hes a really good guy.

moabman Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hey Ruf - I don't know how many times I've looked at the Rufstang, but I just noticed that you don't have the stock fascia. I knew you had the billet upper & lower grilles, just didn't notice the fascia. Which one is it? Those are 3 beautiful cars.... of course, I'm kinda partial to the one in the middle :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanks Dan. We had fun taking the pictures. VE = VETTE ENVY :happy feet: Where's my drink? No - no envy. I could have bought a used C5/6 instead of the Mustang. I love Vette's - but I think I'm just a Mustang kind of guy. I probably better identify with this car's "image" more than a Vette. And - lot's of memories from previous Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 From the monsoon capital of North America, that dry yard looks kinda good! Remember the headlines about the amphibians all disappearing? Mystery solved, they've all moved to Houston. When I go outside at night, it sounds like a rain forest. Wait, it IS a rain forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I bet gettin' busy in a Mustang is one of them Yeah, you're right! I remember one young lady who just loved giving me the "business." I mean we'd just ride around town and she'd do what she did best. It got to be distracting, though. You know, we'd park at the burger joint and my buds would walk up to my window to shoot the bull - and she'd just keep doing her thing. Hard to hold focus on a conversation with all that going on. I broke up with her. And then I started dating her mom. Much more discreet. She'd wait until we were back in her house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moabman Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ok all you bow tie boys, what's the external difference between a C6 and a ZO6 seen from the rear? Oh, and no cute comments about that vantage point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and no cute comments about that vantage point Do you mean in terms of width? The Z06 has bigger rear side panels to allow it to fit 19 x 12 rear wheels. It also has a larger rear spoiler. The regular C6 has 19 x 10 rear wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
