RE: TONS OF NEW MODS CHECK EM OUT (W/PICS)!!!
First let me say Grats to a safe return from the sandbox! I am currently in my 8th month of 15 and my second time here with the 101st. Second nice job on the stang, I am only half done but already have a garage full of parts for mine when I return. The only change I would make is the rear rotors, I would just get a pair of slotted and drilled ones from somewhere pre made and the reason is the factory ones are not strong enoung to be drilled and slotted safely. Ya I know it would take a hell of alot to crack them but when you drill then after the metal has been treated (heated up and cooled alot to strengthen them) you actually weaken them, if this is done prior to treating them then the metals integrety stays intact (Worked in a metal shop that made knives before the military). Just be carefull and check them from time to time. By the way where you stationed? Anywhere near FT Campbell?
