Default Our weekend to mod...

We decided that we were going to get the things we had for the Vette installed so we'll be ready for cruising season. Here's a few pics -

While we were installing this -



We pulled the radio out and got the FM modulator all hooked up so we can move this between the Vette and the Taurus -



It's not fully mounted yet. We didn't know exactly where we wanted it, but I think where it is in that pic is where it's going.

After getting those two things out of the way, there was one other thing sitting in the garage that needed installation -




I took this after we got home from testing out the new mods -


It seems to be happy in it's new home (we just moved in our new place the beginning of April). I know we are happy with it's new mods!

We also did the anti venom mod while we were at it.

Thanks guys! We are really happy with the new mods. I forgot to mention that with the VR, we installed a B&B Bullet exhaust about 3 weeks ago. Love the new sound!

It's a mod to reduce shifting effort.McGillis did it and did a pic/write up.She gets in on many threads,if you see an avitar with a girl sitting on the hood of her red vet,pull her profile and find her thread on it.

Sounds like you had a very busy day.. All the mods look great. I love the MGW Shifter and the Vararam.
