Like Chad, I'm not a fan of the woodgrain, but to be honest it doesn't look too bad in your car, and hey like you said you just wanted it to be different than others, and I like the idea of being original. As for the car itself, that thing looks awesome, and although I'm not a big fan of stripes either, again you made it work on your car. Great work, and +1 for the great pics right off the bat. :tup

Thanks guys for your opinions. We all got opinions and like the cars we drive they are all unique to us. I've always liked stripes on a car so that's why I went that way and as far as the wood grain goes after seeing it I'd never be without it. :wiggle:

I don't know were I have been as I am usually one of the first to welcome the new guys. Oh so welcome. I have to say that of all the Newfoundlander's I met in the army there was only one that was a dick otherwise a great bunch from the Rock lol. Hey can I give you a great mod tip, with the wood grain I think a dark wood steering wheel would look absolutely great. Anyways welcome again and keep the posts and pics rolling in.

Thank you sir. No matter where you go there will be dickheads. There all over the place :LOL:
I want to personally thank you for your military service. You are amongst Canada's best! I have a deep respect for military life and for good reason. Both my sons are are in the service. One Army (bio tech) and the other Navy (logistics) it was tough to see them go off to foreign places to do things that most of us wouldn't do but that's what separates the boys from the men.

That's the one thing I liked about the premimum GT was its steering wheel and with the electronics package it's so much fun..

On a side note. I restored a couple of old toy pedal vehicles in honor of my sons and for those who serve. If you'd like to see them I attached a few links.

The idea is to keep adding the promotions and the places they've been to them and at the end of they're service they would be like a trophy time line thingy tat they would have to display. Sorry for going off topic. :bleh:

well I'll be jiggered!!Thats one great idea for the antenna!Its unique,you'll probably get orders for some now:wink:

Lord tunder'en by. A feller from NB! :cool:

Glad you liked the stubby antenna. My lathe isn't a CNC lathe so those buggers take me 1.5 hours to make. I've tweaked the design a bit as you can see in the photo. Also included a photo of me running the lathe. Family Doc says I got to much iron in my blood :lol

^^^^ Soooooo cool. Love the stripes too.

^^^ LMAO .. I've never heard that one before. That's a good one!

Wildfire,

Congratulations on the new car! Looks great!

So as a former GM tech, what is your overall impression of your Mustang, things that stick out positive and negatives?

Also, when are you takin orders for the antenna? Does it come in black aluminum? The reception remains good, right?

Again, enjoy your great lookin car!
