Got the GPM parts in and I managed to save enough for the Mustang, they went fast so I’ll be placing another order in a day or two. I ordered a set of wide track bearings from VXB which should arrive today, so with luck this evening I’ll install the GPM parts and bearings. I’m also painting the hood scoop today. Dupli-Color has two real close colors Avignon blue and Light blue. I may have to layer them but with luck I should be able to match the paint, Yea.

No bearings today

all those wonderful parts and I’m waiting on stinking bearings.

Right now the scoop is just sitting on the hood, it still needs a little light sanding, a finish coat, and a clear coat. The color seems to be a good match, the problem is that I think I liked it better with just the flat black primer, and am sorry I didn’t take a picture for comparison. What ya think should I stick with the matching paint, or go flat black?

I'm liking it the way it is. It looked good in flat black, but nothing else on the car is flat black.

By the way....are those alloy knuckles I see?????

Why yes they are.

How is it you have alloy knuckles when noone else does?

RCMart has this stuff so far, but no knuckles yet.

Yeah....I was noticing that myself. The knuckles are probably the most needed part....you would think they would get those in first. I might go to the shack a few plastic sets and do hogs jbweld mod. I'm sick of waiting for the alloy ones.

I think CJ is holdin' out on us. He's keepin' all the goodies to himself and rollin' around in them on his bed like its money. Kinda creepy.

I'm about to grab up a plane ticket and head over to sushi land and get them first hand.

I hope they get here soon! I need knuckles and cups to complete my franken-mod chassis. The rest I can wait on, it's just those that are really important to me right now.

You might as well visit candy land there are 3 pages of parts, and while you're there you can chick on "photo gallery" or "Xmods" to see some of my other projects.

So are you selling these?

LBRC · Post by **LBRC** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 11:54 pm

What’s left is now on ebay, I put an order in for the local crowd keeping one set for the Mustang, then put the leftovers on ebay. Am now placing a second larger order and will either get the web page up and running or ebay what doesn’t go locally. Some of the hommies have been pushing me to get a web page going so I can carry more stuff and they have a place to order from when their away (U.S. Navy types).

I wish I had those!!

I like the fact that LBRC has http://lbspd.com/v-web/gallery/album15/TMX025 the Driveshaft, http://lbspd.com/v-web/gallery/album15/XM054 Front Arms, and http://lbspd.com/v-web/gallery/album15/XM056 Rear Arms. GPM was holding my order till End of October they said that those won't be ready till then. I hate the fact that they are 13 hours ahead of my time it take a week to get an email from them.

@LBRC when you ordered yours for your homies did you just get one color?

LBRC · Post by **LBRC** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 12:39 am

Actually I forgot to specify colors for the Xmod parts, so everything came blue.

Since you got XM041 are they the same size as the rear cups? They don't look like the front cups.

Visible Power. This Mustang needs a hood scoop.

Super tight steering. Hot as in one Hot Rod.
