how come you painted the spindle orange???

while I appreciate your work, i hate it when people choose rare/limited edition cars and turn them into racecars. Why ruin a good SSC? Why not start with a stock 5.0 mustang ???? I mean the owner is already spending a bunch of money anyway?????

This bugs me, where is the daily rant section at? (see signature)

Looks like its moving along nicely
