    Re: Shelby Lancer #79...Where is it?

    PAINT IS FINALLY DONE!!!

    http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3231339/2

    Also, i know the wing and vent are supposed to be red. i have an extra one of each so i did them in black and red. i really liked the way the black stands out so i have them on for now. i also have a lancer shelby upper wing i did in black as well, that will be put on shortyl. if i head to car shows and such 8 nuts and she's back to stock trim.

    I only have the rear deck decals installed right now, i have the rest that will go on soon.

    stock rims and centers are in storage, so the 18's(225 40's) are on it for now.

    lmk what you all think

    Looking good. Ironically we got our cars restored at the exact same time. If I hadn't sold it, the SL would still be waiting in line, so I'm glad it went to a good home!

    First run @15psi with a/f reading 9.2

    Second run @22psi with a/f reading 9.2

    My Meth system was not working during the runs. Ambient temp was 96. humidity 4 million percent!

    Gained 91hp and 128 trq withan 7psi increase. With some tuning I am quite confident that I can get the 300hp mrk as is.

    A little FYI, I never plan on making this a high hp car, just wanted to build it the way it should have been.

    Great to hear an update on this! Thanks for keeping us posted. The next time we see our buddy who owned it we'll let him know it's still doing well. He def. misses that car.

    Thanks. Its still coming along nicely. always more to do

    Does he still have his GTS or Cordoba?

    Re: Shelby Lancer #79...Where is it?

    He sold the GTS locally and the ppl d.d. it now. We've seen it on a few occasions. I'd have to check about the Cordoba. Pretty sure he sold it. Him and I were just talking about #79 when he charged up the AC for me in my CSX before SDAC.

    Eh, from the looks of it the last time we saw it, the new owners had applied spider web decals on various spots of it. So it's not up to Denny's standards anymore by any means lol...

    BTW then, are you and #79 in AZ or is the car still in MI?
