Lorne34 Shelby GT350 Build: MESTENO

Thanks Bill. I will have the rest of the slat wall completed on Monday, along with a suspended shelving cage in the back corner for bulky items. I have been holding off on hanging stuff until this is done. Will update with more pics once everything is completed.....

Made the mistake of taking the Shelby out for one last joy ride before putting her in storage last winter. I was cruising down a country road near our new house and ran over what I thought was mud....ended up being Cow Manure
Got it cleaned up the best I could and decided to deal with it this spring. So yesterday I finally got her pulled out and worked on the wheel wells getting the last bit of it cleaned up. It was kind of neat to be able to view the inner workings of the air flow system both from the side venting to the intake at the front bumper.
After the cleanup I did a full foam and wash on the entire car since it has been a while. Had to pull her inside to finish drying as daylight was gone. Exhausted, but happy and content.

Glad to see you get it all cleaned up. Kept thinking you had something on the hood of the car, but I think its reflecting the shelving unit in-front of the car.... Looked at it for nearly 5 minutes.

Thanks.... I'm not worried about dirt in the wheel wells, but cow manure was crossing the line of what I could live with... LOL....
Yeah, the lighting in my garage is playing tricks on me all the time. I just installed a suspended ceiling shelve/Rack just above the side entry door in front of the Shelby. That Performance Blue color with the GTechniq Ceramic is just incredible, but the lighter blue color reflects every bit of shadow and light. It's good training for my recovery from OCD...

Ford Performance Oil Separator install FINALLY. Bought it last year and just never got around to it. The push pins were a bit confusing at first until I realized they had to be pulled all the way up. For some reason i was thinking they were direct inserts like the battery cover.

Posting some pictures of my wash, detail and a local Ford Car Show. Enjoyed the scenery and had some great conversations about the Voodoo Engine. Was finally able to clean the engine bay and put on tire dressing which was badly needed.

First ever track day at Road America. The weather was not cooperating as it rained heavily in the morning and fog delays as well. Was able to get some runs in with my instructor in the afternoon. Was a good experience overall and left me wanting more....

Experienced a bit of a scare before my first track day.. oil leak on the garage floor. Ended up being from belly pan that was not completely cleaned up during last oil change. Brought it back in and they were able to drop it down and cleanup the remainder. No issues since...

A few pictures taken while out on the town. It's great to be able to drive this car anywhere...

Same thing happens to mine nearly every time it gets a service.

The instant terror followed by the relief of finding it just hasn't been cleaned up properly is something I could live without.
