I dont think you'll need a tow hook for this first trip out, Craig. You'll be OK if you cant get one. Learn the track, be amazed at what a machine the Mach 1 is. Listen to your instructor. VIR is a beautiful , fun, fast track.
Hint: If you dont have access to a sim, watch some videos of good...
2023 F150 4-door is my daily. Other toys are my home-built 2017 Factory 5 Cobra with a 427 small block, a 2021 Triumph Rocket GT 2.5L and a 93 Fox Mustang Notch road racer with a 620hp N/A all aluminum small block. Good times all around.
I replaced most of my fender liner fasteners with the regular serrated push in ones. They are super easy to remove with the right tool and even re-usuable for a time or two. You can buy bags of a hundred pretty cheap on Amazon. And they hold so much better than those plastic push pin things.
Received a new pair of Steeda IRS braces today.
Just wanna say the powdercoat is solid, appears thick enough for complete coverage (no thin spots) and very well done.
After all the "Steeda powdercoat negatives" i've read on here, thought i'd post up when something positive came thru.
Nice work.

Big ugly switch, gotta drill hole in dash panel. Seller suggests relay and wiring tuck into sunglass holder.
It has to be for appearance only because the...
I was working by myself, so had to use string run down thru the nutplate and knotted, then pulled up into place. Lots of moving around, under, in and out of the car, but I got it.
Yep, Watson has nice instructions on their site. It does take time and careful measuring. I think the hardest part was getting the nutplates into place under the car. There's not a lot of room to squeeze your arm in there.
I had 20 years wrenching on new 767-300 Freighters at a Line Outstation. Full Maint Qual... CAT, ETOPS, Hi power eng run, Hi speed taxi... I loved that airplane. If I gave it back to ya, that baby was right.
On my '93 Fox road racer, I go thru (SN95) front hubs at the rate of 1-2 per year. When replacing them, most folks disassemble the new hubs, clean and repack them with quality synthetic bearing grease. I think the stuff they come with is just a cheap anti corrosion stuff. Maybe good for La Dee...
