I took a cruise with a few other local mustangs to enjoy the changing leaves, and found a couple roller shots. ![http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/1253/dsc01488it.jpg](http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/1253/dsc01488it.jpg) ![http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1971/dsc01478fz.jpg](http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1971/dsc01478fz.jpg) ![http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2861/dsc01473b.jpg](http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2861/dsc01473b.jpg) ---

Been spending some time doing little odds and ends that I’ve been over looking. changed the oil, doing some cleaning, fixing some leaks here and there. first off this eye sore. ![http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7514/img2410ze.jpg](http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7514/img2410ze.jpg) ![http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9926/img2411gd.jpg](http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9926/img2411gd.jpg) while I was polishing my valve covers and air cleaner fins I decided to polish the top of the rad. At first I wasnt gonna do it but it looks good. Its not a mirror shine so I like it. It has a finished look to it. ![http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4052/img2436q.jpg](http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4052/img2436q.jpg) ![http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4282/img2437m.jpg](http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4282/img2437m.jpg) another thing I have to do is paint the fanshroud black. ![http://imageshack.us/a/img19/3197/img2438zs.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img19/3197/img2438zs.jpg) I also noticed the centers of my wheels are starting to age nicely. They are starting to get the bronze color that the movie car wheels had on them. It really ties them into the car much more now. Im going to take the wheels off an polish them inside and out, they need it badly. ![http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/5664/img2439bj.jpg](http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/5664/img2439bj.jpg) compared to 3 years ago. ![http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4994/img3040ah.jpg](http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4994/img3040ah.jpg) and over the weekend one of the original movie cars sold at mecum for $1 million dollars :lol1: 🍌 302/4speed car.
