‘Twas a beautiful day Saturday  so I took the beast to work. Leaving work, about half way home the engine sputters and dies.

Looks awesome. You gonna put a spare tire on it too?

Any more word on the shirts before I order the black t-shirts on Ebay? – I think they look nice and I would rather have a T vs. a Polo.

Ford part #76025-S2Or Dorman part#120-042 should work if you cut it to length.
