90GT Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks 90 - But I'm not into competition except at stoplights - in - a - straight - line for a while! No more circles... However - during our upcoming gathering on the Outer Banks - I don't think the Shelby guys will be losing ol' Ruf in any major way... As my grandaddy said, it's not the size of the man in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the man. You dig? I hear ya!!! I just got my suspension done by Evolution and what a difference!!! I only got to drive it for two days before we had another ice storm but the difference is dramatic. The car now sticks to the road like glue!!! :happy feet: With the Tokico D Spec shocks I can go from a full race to a nice comfortable ever day ride. Well worth the extra loot in my opinion.

Joe G Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've got your brick wall, right here, smart azz! I only kid the people I like... Do you drive the PT like you stole it? Do you use the 1ST and 2ND gear in that automatic? Do you try to spin tires around corners? Have you tried to mod it? Is it Zaino'ed? How many coats? Do chick's check you out in it? Does wifey say you look cute in it? Do you Rev on Ricers? Do you try to power slide it? Does the stereo crank? Do you cruise with the A/C on and the windows down? Do I ask too many questions? You're a bad dog... bad dog! I'd PAY to be there when the payback comes!! Sand, crabs and salt water... dog boy's going to be finding stuff in misc. crevices for weeks!!

Joe G Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I heard from Orf yesterday. He's in. I heard the same thing. You two should go on tour together. There was the "Kings of Comedy" and the "Blue collar comedy tour"... what would you call your tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hey now, Dan! I'm trying reaaallll hard to remain calm. My baby got tore up pretty good - but I realized it gave me an op to take it to the next level. I think it's gonna come across as meaner - stronger - even more stealth - and sound like nothing but trouble! The guys at my Ford store will see it when I take it there to be aligned. I can't wait to see their reaction. The bodyshop gang loves it. Shoot - the paint guy apologized for not getting the left front fender "perfect" the first time! I wish I could have you with me when I take it for the first ride. It's not as fast as some of these Shelby's - but it makes up for that with how it looks and sounds, Daddy. I think I just may take Friday off and burn me some 93 octane! Maybe a ride to the beach. :happy feet: YES. YES. YES. :happy feet: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: The Rufstang is comming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Both? ? Is there more than 1 secret? Ruf, Please PM me so I can be in the loop. Poopy is so out of the loop. He has turned the hints over to his kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think I'd better keep the full-time gig for now....! But somtimes, this site makes me feel like I'm doing stand-up! Bodyshop update: Stopped by this afternoon. They were wet sanding the right front. The front end looks super. I love the badge-free fenders. The spoiler is on and looks great. Very low-key - but "fitted." They washed it - finally - and I just about drooled on it. It's been dirty for weeks. One of the guys in the shop told my guy he forgot to put in the bulbs in the marker lights! You can't see the Stealth bulbs until they're on! Very cool. The 1/4 windows are out - and my guy's waiting for a template to mask the new louvers before painting and installing them. Tomorrow is alignment day - we're taking it to my Ford store where I had the engine work done. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they see the car. The techs there were very sad when I whacked the Wall. I'm sure they'll feel better to see the Rufstang looking good. One of our maintenance guys at my College has bought my rear tires/rims! He's got a '60's Mustang and wants to give it a fresh look. (he bought my OEM front springs, too) And - we're going to see if we can fit my Bassani's on his car, too. Will I sleep tonight? Nope. The car is looking very good. Can't wait for the car show on the 31st. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KobraII Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Will do. I think I might either clean out the Explorer, or take some pics of it in some good scenery.

RUFDRAFT Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Sorry, Mad! I've just been trying to share my wait with y'all. The car's not going to look "in your face." Since the wreck, I had a chance to refine/rethink the stealth look - you know - removing badging - adding a discreet spoiler or two - the window louvers - that sort of thing. It's just going to have a very minimalist look. All business maybe? I hope the photos I post on Sat or Sun do it justice. Less is more, my friend. Except under the hood!

RUFDRAFT Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Of all the changes, I think the louvers are going to be the most impressive. Hopefully, tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't want people to think I was trying to be a Shelby. I love your color, by the way. Your car Rocks! Your painted miirors stand out really well in that pic! I was thinking of having mine painted. I ordered the partial covers. Body shop should be done with getting my upper and lower side scoops on by the end of the week. They just finished preping, sanding and priming them today. So hopefully tomorrow he gets them painted after wet sanding them and mounted Friday so I can take her out by Sat., whether permitting. They have to sit for 24 hours before driving once they stick them on. I can't get over how much prep work was involved! You would think they would come better prepped than what they did, and Cervini's claims their parts are the best as far as less prep work required than most companies out there! Hope they turn out good and make the car stand out even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 90 - Weather permittting - on Sat, I'll pack up the wife and some beverage and we'll just head East. Windows down - ZZ Top in the CD (low - so we can hear the Bassanis) - and just ride. We'll glance around at the farms and the farm houses - just lean the seats back and ride.... Dude - please post some pics of your paint work! Man - I had no idea how much prep work was involved until I had my ride in the shop! These guys are my heroes! I just need a day to ride - just ride.

KobraII Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Man, I know how you feel. I saw a GT with your style of stripe Ruf, and it looked sharp. It was a silver GT with a red stripe. Can't wait to see some pics of your Mustang. I can't wait to have mine. My dad was wanting to have it completed for my senior pictures, but I don't think that'll happen. Oh well, maybe I can get the 69 instead . I can't wait to hear that sweet symphony that's played by 8 wonderful musicians, from your Stang, as well as mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
