I've seen them be sold for some pretty low prices...the WS6 hoods are sold for some insane prices...

I sold my WS6 hood for $900 and I have seen non-WS6 hoods go from between $50 to $200 it just depends.

Problem is shipping them. Shipping is in the $125 range so you can't get much out of them. Most people want ws6 or fire hawk hoods anyhow so my hood is for sale but I just haven't listed it or told anyone about it.

Tried to do the Aux input mod to the stock monsoon unit but ran into unexpected issues. As in it looked nothing like it should have on the inside. Have to decide what to do now.

I experienced the infamous clutch pedal sticking to the floor about 2-3 blocks from my house. Limped home in first gear - not a lot of fun. Replaced the clutch master cylinder with a Tick. Not a difficult install once you move the massive wire bundle out of the way to get the Tick in position. Car is running great but I had to learn to drive again with a much improved clutch pedal feel.

had a family day in the twisties this weekend...also discovered that I have to adjust my drivers side headlight cover because its rubbing on my front bumper.

More suspension parts installed... replaced the rod ends on my panhard bar and rear control arms and greased the poly ends Installed my subframe connectors after they have been in the garage for about 3-4 years.

That's one sexy ass you have there!

Bought me up another ride at auction today. It's not a bird but it's a toy I can ride around on and not have to worry about the T/A being my daily anymore. Well, once I bring it home and get it running good again. It's been sitting for 2 years.

If you are running factory shocks I'd say it's time for an upgrade.

Definitely fender contact. Looks like only occasional as when you launch hard. Since you are running larger than stock wheels/tires did you also upgrade your suspension bumper to the WS6 piece with the metal spacer? The difference between stock TA and WS6 is about another 1/2" of clearance. Might be all you need to solve your problem.

I think I've seen what your are talking about...its the spacer for the bump stock right?

Yes, kind of a pyramid shaped bumper. If you have the WS6 style it should have a large metal spacer underneath. If not, you can buy them from a variety of sources and it may solve your problem if you only need a little extra clearance when the suspension is fully compressed. You also need to look at the condition of the bumper itself. If it is collapsed it should be replaced.

well after 3 weeks of fun and school I finally had the motivation to pull the heads off. Dropping them off at the shop tomorrow as well as the rockers with the trunion upgrade and even the lifters. Having them check it all. Turned the motor over several times and didn't see any issues with the piston walls, so that's a good sign.
