Welcome back! The car looks great. The current wheels are like mine, and the ones you've ordered are very simular to the ones I'd like to get. Very cool!

That looks awesome :).

Is that Blue Flame the Ford color? If so my Focus is that color. The metallic in it really pops in the sun.

Had a set back last night! Took the Thunderbird out for a drive and sheared off the waterpump shaft. Took out the rad, shroud, and maybe the fan!!!

I have NEVER heard of a water pump shaft coming apart.  Crazy stuff. Are you sure it wasn't the fan that came apart? Well, I had to ask.

I had the water pump hub fall off on my old Buick Century. Since it was front wheel drive all that happend was the belt fell off.

I've had that happen before. It really sucks. That's why I always replace a pump if it's even the slightest bit noisy or leaky (though they don't always give such advance notice)...
