Marques in the Park (Canberra)

[Nuts]

Come on you lazy Canberrans, get your stang out of the garage! Who's going to the Marques in the Park on Sunday? Weather looks good and Blue is back on the road so might attend.

[whitewun]

you can count on the white one being there.
Any hints on where to park etc etc
It is the first time attending with a car and not a spectator

Oh whitewun, they'll be someone on site telling us where to go, usually is. I normally park where I want. I'll be there from around 8am. Here's the official notice:

This was my first outing last year...first time meeting some great people...the weather was shite last year and not as many cars turned up (only 2 x XW / XY GT's).

Sadly I can't go this year due to work commitments...

Drive in, look for the Mustangs and pill up alongside...easy peasy.

Cheers

Poor Nuts is chasing the ellusive set of Simmons for his mustang herd. Might have a solution for you at Feb 2015's Mustang Show!

Not this year for me, unless pete is unable to take yours there on the back of the truck, then you could borrow mine.

What's your excuse this time Mr No Show?

[moe]

LOL @ Mr No Show....

I'll be undertaking carer's responsibilities and look after my mum so my dad can have a break.

Hey nuts,

Had a look around and from the Boss 302 web site I managed to get this on locating the hood scoop.

The factory scoop's rear edge sits 6 1/2 inches from the rear edge of the hood. If you use a reproduction which is not exactly the right length, the front upper point of the scoop is 21 1/2 inches from the point of the hood spear.

also looking at the ones from the US they are all a 9 stud location

Any how see you on Sunday -

14 nov for windows
15 Nov for striping
16 Nov delivered to your place to fit the heater core and hood scoop

Cheers

Dave

Dave, which hood scoop are you getting?
