hello everyone my name is carlos. i am a 26yr old disabled vet. i currently own a 2005 gt black with red striping. i have owned the car since sept of last year. so far i have put a Modular Powerhouse short block in it(eagle crank, manley rods and pistons, 9.4 comp), had the heads worked and valves back cut, polished Vortech v2 blower, spec clutch and flywheel, and some 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear wheels black with chrome lip. this is my second stang that i have built. my wife has a black 2010 v6 also... love mustangs and hope to meet and hear from others who share the passion and learn some new tricks.....

welcome carlos!

Where in Mobile are you at? My wife and I are originally from Mobile, all of our family still lives there, and we come back every now and then. Do you ever make it up to the Steak & Shake on Schillingers? My brother-in law makes it up there sometimes...maybe you've seen his car around....below are some pictures of it.
