As the year went on and shows were attended, other improvements included titanium ceramic-coated FRPP short-tube headers, black powdercoated FRPP aluminum valve covers were added, and I modified and powdercoated the Kenny Brown strut tower brace to hold the Halon nozzles. During that two-year time the car has taken First in MCA's Modified Class at seven national events, First at two MCA Grand National events, two MCA Pinnacle Awards, (Best Modified in Class for each year), and First in class for both years at Mustang Alley. Through all the mods, one thing has remained constant: working on her is relaxing, almost therapeutic.

A trailer queen obviously has no place in his plans, and we admire folks with the tenacity and energy to keep a frequently driven vehicle in show condition. We expect that by the time we meet up at the Mustang's 50th Anniversary bash, Jim's Fox may well be approaching the half-million mile mark. And the modifications still won't be done . . .
