Thanks Bear! Mine is not believed to be cancerous, but they are doing a biopsy. It was actually a birthmark. The dermatologist wanted me to get it off because it was changing color. The cut he made was 7.6 cm (3 inches roughly).

Damn White. Sorry to hear that. If they keep taking 3x3 sections, maybe we better find a good "body shop" for you so we can have some patch panels installed on you. LOL.

Hope you are feeling better. What came about with the 06 Expy? Did you get it fixed?

LOL, I have my own patch panel for right now. I've lost enough weight that there was enough to fill the void.

As far as the Expy, that is my weekend project. Going to redo the vacuum lines correctly and that will involve pulling the intake. Ford couldn't draw vacuum from the top of the intake??? Really??? Just another reason I won't be buying a 3V.

It seems that the truck 3v's are a lot worse than the 05-09 Mustang 3v's. I don't know the difference, but I've got friends with both. The 150 guys are cussing, the Mustang guys are racing on the streets every day with the exception of one guy. He had the VCT take a dump and ticked constantly. He went to the aftermarket design, and now he's good to go. I have got to do some thinking on that one. I know the vacuum routing is different. Hmmm

I found that a buddy of mine was going to sell his 2013 5.0. That is one sweet car. He made me such a great offer that I just called the bank to find out how much the payment would be. I'm waiting for my loan officer to call me back when she gets in at 930. I may own a white 13 GT tonight. Depends on INSURANCE also. I doubt it will be bad. No tickets or anything since 1995, AARP insured now, so it ought to be decent. I pay $960 a year for 4 vehicles, with full coverage on the 07 Mustang.

I guess I should clarify... I would own a 4.6 3V, not a 5.4 3V. Your statement pretty much sums it up too.... for some reason the 4.6 is less prone to all of the standard issues that the 5.4 suffers from. I'd own a 3V Stang all day. Rahter have a 4V though

I found it ironic that the day before I dig back into this thing, FordtechMakuloco posted this:

It can be difficult when it's not about the money so much. The sweat and dedication thing along with digging the outcome is sweet.

But that father and son thing. Personally there's something about that I'd like to see come true. As long as I wouldn't suffer TO MUCH.
