Working, Car parts and Car show weekend

So I have been back working in Berkeley (hence the reason I have the Berkeley photos) and have been working on the Lobby of the Hotel Shattick Plaza, which is a large hotel remodel.

Here is a photo of part of the lobby we are working on. The white and black checkerboard is white marble and black granite. Should look pretty nice when it's done.




Been doing some work on the Cobra. Has some stuff polished and installed new performance rotors and brake pads. Made a big difference in braking power. Got a smoking deal on a set of cryo treated rotors on Ebay. Still can't understand how the guy can sell them that cheap, but I'm not going to complain. Here is a photo of what they look like...





Previously, I mentioned that I went to Knotts Berry Farm to a huge car show last weekend as well as a show and shine and a photo shoot of a friends car that will be in Muscle Mustang magazine. I will be posting photos of this in the days to come.

Here is one that I took when I visited the Kenne Bell shop in Rancho Cucamonga on Monday. They built the supercharger that is on my car. I parked my Cobra in front of their shop and snapped a few photos.

Happy Holloween!

The weather turned colder today with some rain. I didn't get much done except to chase down some plans in Chico for some possible future work, which is always good.



I don't drive the Cobra in the rain, so no progress on that front. I'm sure the drag races will be canceled tomorrow night because of the wet weather. That's a bummer because it's the last race of the season and I was hoping to get some pictures and video of a couple of friends cars on the track. It will have to wait until next year...



I did get to take a few pics in Chico this morning while there. It's such a photographic city, especially when the colors are changing. This is my favorite of the ones I took today.

4 more days until the election. Any comment on who will win?

First Post

Well I did it! I finally got around to getting a blog up and running.

Since work is slow this year (and the economy is in the toilet) I may have time to spend on this and my web page I just put up. You may not see new post every day, but I'll try.

Mostly what you will find here are my random thoughts and opinions. Maybe even some useful information on occasion. I will be adding features to the blog as time permits, so check back often, and please post comments if you have time.

Today, I am working on my 1993 Mustang Cobra. I'm getting ready to install a water/methanol injection system. It works by injecting a 50/50 water/methanol solution just before the blower, which will cool down the air charge, and up the octane from 91 to around 115 octane. Since the car has a twin screw blower on it (Kenne Bell) I need some help staving off detonation. Once I get it installed, I will write a review on the system and post it on my website.

Thanks for looking...
