Took a hour drive up island with dad to a local car get together.
he’s old enough now that he drives it more like it’s a chevette 😁

What'd you do today?

Well, the wife is working and I'm bored, so I'm starting this tread. There's always, "What did you do to your XXXXX today?" threads, so I thought this would be something different.
As I said above, the wife is working today, so I made it into a work day for myself. Spent 5-6 hours at our 7 acre property where we are going to build next spring. There's a spot that was set up perfect for a campground type area, so I've been working on cleaning it up.
I really thought the point of buying a tractor was to limit the amount of physical labor that was exerted, but I think I'm wrong. So, I needed some muscle relaxer for a night of watching football...
I may have started a little early though...

Headed back home and stopped to grab a bite while I wait for Louisville, KY rush hour to settle down…not eating sushi 🤣.
Stopped at customer painter on my way to Fathouse this morning. Below is a picture of the much improved Shelby hood pins. Straight from Shelby they were just fine, but installed against all our custom paint work they stood out like a soar thumb. So, painted them gloss black and painted the letters body color. Now they fit right in!
While I was there decided to spend some more money 🙄. Since this will be a show car and the trunk will be open during shows, decided to paint the subwoofer gloss black and the mesh cover body color…with a little extra bite…see below (still unpainted at the moment).
Headed off to Fathouse to meet up with @nickf2005 to deliver his special package. It was awesome to spend some time with you Nick! Wish we had more time to talk shop…maybe at ShelbyFest 2024? Seen some other forum rides there… @BLK&BLUE and @JCDriller. Bad ass rides for sure…I mean spectacular rides guys!
Seen Code Red chassis #1. Took some pictures but was told not to post them online yet 😔. Amazing piece of engineering! Ben toured me around their new shop. These guys are best of the best. If you’re considering any mods you really need to interview these guys! And, I got to see my MoTeC…finally after a year of waiting! Also pictured below.
Well, a few more hours of driving so off I go. Catch ya’ll later 🤟.

The Code Red was pretty awesome!
Glad the timing worked out! I hope SF24 works out. You know... that kid thing. 🤣
Mrs. Hyperformance hooked me up with a "Shelby themed" Buffalo Trace barrell pick. Goes nicely with my others. Don't know if I'll ever open it.
Congratulations Chris and to your daughter on her achievements that is impressive indeed, you must be one proud papa
