As many of you know, I ordered a new School Bus Yellow Boss 302 Laguna Seca back in February, and now it has finally arrived!! It is car #253 of the 750 to be built. I have done several builds on these Boss's for my customers and was so impressed with what the cars are stock, and what can be done, that I figured a Boss would be my next project. I have many parts already sitting on the shelves to go on the car, so stay tuned for the build on it. :camera:

Here are some pictures my dealer sent me of the car after arriving on Tuesday. I will be picking it up in Vegas on Tuesday of next week. It will sit on the showroom floor until I can get there to pick it up with all the stickers, tags and plastic left in place.

Thank you for the comments my friends!! I am excited. :happy feet:

I don't want to spoil the build by telling you all in advance what I am doing to this car, so keep checking back, you know I will post many pictures of every part that goes on (many parts already sitting in the shop waiting to go on)

I  have a 12 GT500 I did my whole suspension package on that it getting a few more items that will be here in a few hours (11am, and will be done by noon on Sat) Then at noon on Sat, Green Mojavi (Ben) is bringing  in his 12 GT500 for a full suspension build where he will be able to see the other 12 before it is picked up ( this way he can see what his car will look like when it is done). Then I have Rick's 40th for its build, and another 09 GT500 for rear suspension and RBST. After all that I will start the build on my Boss!!

I will pick the Boss up on Tuesday. I am driving up with a friend in my truck to Vegas so I can take back the LS splitter, brake duct kit, and transmission cooler which are all shipped separately to the Ford dealers 1 week before the car arrives. When I get there I will take many pictures, :camera: tape the car all up with painter's tape to prevent any road rash, then drive it back to break it in properly varying speeds and gears all the way home with no wide open throttle jaunts. First thing that will get done to the car is to color sand and buff the factory paint to eliminate orange peel, then the front bumper, pillars, rockers, and mirror covers will be clear bra-ed. I will also change the oil right when it gets to PS. I always do this with new cars in the first 300-500 miles as the assembly lube used to assemble the engines partially clogs the oil filter.  

Stay tuned....

Alex

Alex I'll be watching for your posts this weekend. Appreciate the time you spent on the phone with me and I sent an email of what I'd like to get depending on my budget restrictions and shipping costs. If you get to that list I'm ready to order Monday before the wife sees the extra cash lying around :hysterical:  I went ahead and ordered the light covers from your eBay add and looking forward to them.

Hi Tim,

  It was a pleasure talking with you today. I felt bad not being able to talk with you further. By the time I got all my stuff done, I planned to call you back. After 20 phone calls, I lose the #'s on my phone for 21+. I will email you.

  You will love the light covers I have made for me. You will get them next week. I will do my best to get you pricing before the wife files for divorce!!  There is not problem doing most systems in phases when budget is involved. LOL
