Load the pic onto your computer. Then find a picture hosting website. I use www.imagestation.com to host my pics...

Yeah, it's all original, except for the wheels, of course. I think my tranny might be on its way out though, but I'll nurse it along until she needs to go to the hospital (shop) for surgery (service).

For those who asked, the cold air box on my car is one of my (actually, my brother's) own design and construction. I've sent a lot of template sets to people all over the U.S. and Canada, but haven't really heard any feedback regarding if it was helpful or not.

[B]and how did you get all the plastic soo shiny?

by the way i received your templates yesterday and made the cardboard model and it fits great. Think I will weld instead of doing the rivets (no money to buy expensive tool for one time use). What do you think of epoxy?
B]
I just rub the plastic down with Turtle Wax's equivalent of Armor All (I don't remember the name...it's in a neon green bottle, though) and then go back over it with a dry cloth.

As far as welding vs. rivets, I think welding would be great. I would've done it that way if I'd had the tools and experience. If you have those, I might be jealous of your air box. If not, rivet guns are cheap ($12-$20), they're easy to use, and rivetted joints are strong. Plus, you won't use it just for this project. If you're thinking of bonding the box together with epoxy, I think you might reconsider. Epoxy is a bit harder to work with in this kind of application, it takes a long time to cure and clean-up is a bitch.

C'mon guys (and gals)...give us pics of your glorious FCs!

I know there are better waxes out there, but I've had good luck (as you can tell ) with Meguiar's products. When I'm gonna do a complete detailing, I use their Gold Class Car Soap and then I normally use their polish followed with their Yellow Wax. My paint is starting to show its age now, so about every third wax job, I use their Cleaner/Wax. It cuts oxidation really well and emphasizes the shine. Also, I use a Craftsman 10 inch random orbital buffer. It cuts the waxing/buffing time in easily in half and seems to do a better job on top of that. Everyone should have one of these. They're only $40 and come with a case and whole bunch of bonnets.

Actually, only yellow adds HP
But yes, the car is fast.

At the moment 308 rwhp and 265 ft-lbs on a Mustang Dyno. Will be tweaking the fuel and ignition maps soon. I'm expecting close to 400 rwhp at 15 psi

Damn eViLRotor...very, very nice ride! If mine weren't already gorgeous, I'd be jealous.
Dude, you have a pretty damm nice ride yourself . Thanks for the compliment
