SKi's 99 GT

I've finally got my car back after an F-16 dumped hydraulic fluid on it !! The whole car had to be repainted. I did have them add 35th anniversary scoops with the grills painted red. Currently, I only have K&N FIPK, MustangWorld bumper and wheel inserts, and an ESCORT Passport 7500. Paid MODS for this summer are FMS C springs (w/ Ron's precision cuts), tinting, pulley's, SRP pedals, and 35th Anniversary dash. Unpaid Mods gears 3.73's, Borla's complete cat-back exhaust, and Throttle Body.

I was attending the NCO Academy at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City. My billeting room (hotel on base) parking lot was in the flight path of the bases F-16's on final approach. Well Labor day weekend (the weekend before I left!) one decided to have an hydraulic leak dumping fluid over a number of cars. White and light colored cars looked like that had the measles. Initially, my insurance company only wanted to paint the roof, hood, and trunk. Buff and polish the sides for a total claim of $500 (plus I pay 250 deductible which the Air Force ended up paying). I was not a happy man. Later, I have fully repainted car that looks better than new and has a thicker layer of clearcoat.

MW Editor Comment: Ouch ! Good to see that the stang is back in good looking order.
