Joe Gosinski Chicane Motorsports R.I.P.
For those of you in Southern California that deal in late model Mustangs mod shops many of you
probably have met or heard of Joe Gosinski owner of Chicane Motorsports in Torrance. I
met Joe a few times and what impressed me about Joe was his passion and I mean passion
for American Muscle....Mustangs. Joe was very good at his craft and it showed. His shop
was cleaner than most hospitals and he was always working on something new that would
improve the performance of your Mustang.
The first time I met Joe was in 2008 at the Fabulous Fords Forever Show in Southern California
the next time we chatted was at a Mustang show and cruise that Joe organized , me and two of my Mustang buddies drove up from San Diego to his shop (Chicane Motorsports) in Torrance, CA.
We arrived early that morning before the vast majority of Mustang owners had returned from the
cruise, before we knew the street was filled with Mustangs and they kept coming. From the old
school classic '65 Mustangs up to the current Super Snake filled the street on in front of Chicane
Motorsports. If you were a Mustang lover you had a smile on your face that day Mustang owners
from SoCal showed up in large numbers for Joe's event. It's safe to say there were probably a few
hundred Mustangs in attendance that day. I attend several car shows a year and that was one of
the best I had attended; a reflection of Joe and his attention to detail.
I received a phone call today that Joe had been found murdered in his shop in Torrance, I thought
this must be a rumor gone bad but it wasn't. I thought maybe I was dreaming but I wasn't. I thought
it was an early April Fools joke but it wasn't. I thought Joe must be in the hospital recovering but
he wasn't.
Another talented person has left us too soon. We will not get a chance to hear that sax solo again.
We will not get to see that great open field tackle again. We will not get a chance to hear the next
album they were producing.
Joe Gosinski's life has been taken for reasons that are foreign to me. There are many foreign places
that I want to visit but this is not one of them.
The Mustang world, friends and family have lost a good one but I'm sure the chariots in heaven
just found a great tech.
Joe Gosinski our prayers are with you, your friends and family.

Jimmy the Crackhead
When the S197 Mustang was released in 2005 a flood gate of Mustang accessories opened and the race was on to outfit your Mustang GT or V6 with all the latest toys. Window louvers, side scoops, rear spoilers, window scoops, taillight panels, plenum covers and the list continued, but the new designs stopped.
Looking through the publications of Mustang magazines and attending several Mustang car shows a year you'll be hard pressed to find new Mustang accessories and parts. Hanging out at a Mustang show in search of fresh Mustang accessories is like watching a Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, you already know what's going to happen, but maybe you'll be entertained.
Some manufactures have got complacent and Mustang owners are bored out of their minds. Let's
be honest, your die hard car enthusiast is like a Crackhead looking to score their next hit. The old
smack is not doing it anymore. Jimmy the Crackhead is looking to score with some stuff that will
keep him on cloud nine for a month. Jimmy the Crackhead will surf the net until 3am looking to
score that new Mustang accessory that he has to have for his car show on Saturday. Jimmy the
Crackhead has no idea what's he's looking for, but he'll know it when he sees it. Twenty-five pages
into Google Jimmy the Crackhead finds his next hit of Mustang accessory.....a chrome strut tower
brace. Jimmy hits the "Buy Now" button and places his order, now the shipping option appears,
Ground, 3-4 days or Overnight, Jimmy selects Overnight. The flash chrome strut tower brace is
$199 and Overnight shipping from Maine to California is $250 for a grand total of $449. Jimmy
doesn't care he needs his fix. Two days later this chrome strut tower brace arrives via brown truck just
as the sun is setting. Jimmy rips open the box and lays his bloodshot eyes on his new drug.
The strut tower brace comes just in time as Jimmy's withdrawal symptons were starting to show.
Jimmy grabs his extension cord, work light and socket set and within fifteen minutes his strut is
installed on his Mustang and Jimmy has scored again.
As a manufacture of Mustang accessories and parts it's up to us to create new products for the Ford
Mustang that keep Mustang owners excited. We must be creative and not complacent.
Bangastang has several cool accessories for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang that are very different.
Our Mustang GT Plenum Cover, Whaletail spoiler, Roundtail spoiler, Mustang Front Splitter,
MGP Caliper Covers and our top seller Mustang Radiator Covers are Mustang accessories that will grab your attention because they're new and innovative.....just what the Mustang owner needs.
To see our selection of Mustang accessories and parts, visit our website www.bangastang.com
Do you have a story about yourself when you acted like Jimmy the Crackhead post and tell
us about it?

Mustang Parts Christmas Shopping
It's now eleven days before Christmas and many of you are still trying to figure out what to buy for the
Mustang owner in your life. Maybe it's that Mustang carbon fiber armrest or the Mustang Window
Louvers that they keep lusting over on their neighbors Shelby GT500 or better yet our Bangastang Shelby GT500 Radiator Cover .........now hold your horses and and we do mean horsepower!
This is the time of year when last minute custom orders get a little haywire. "Oh please I need it for
my husband before Christmas, can't you speed up the order, he's been talking about this since May".
As much as we would like to make custom parts in two days it's pretty difficult especially when
your talking about a Mustang accessory that needs to be painted and painting takes time, even more
time when large quantities are involved. Some folks have a misconception when it comes to auto body
accessory painting, they assume if it's just one part it will be finished in 2-3 days.
Factor in the array of colors that were available for the Ford Mustangs from 2005-2011; we're talking close to 30 paint codes. Some of the colors available were Legend Lime, Grabber Orange, Tungsten Grey, Windveil Blue, Torch Red, Mineral Grey, Alloy, Redfire , Grabber Blue, Performance White and the list continues. When car accessories are painted they are painted in groups of the same color for
convenience and cost. A painter would much rather have three of a kind instead of a full house.
Paint guns can only store one mixture of paint at a time, they're not like your ball point pen that you
had in grade school which had four different colors of ink.....blue, black, red and green.
The paint process when do correctly takes time and involves three stages; prep, paint and finish. All of the stages takes time and can't be rushed, even during the Christmas shopping season. There are countless auto body shops with various levels of quality. When shopping for an auto body shop do not
based it on price but the quality of work and the materials that they use. Too many times people will
hire the least expensive company to do the job, what's the old saying "You get what you pay for". If
you paid someone $50.00 to paint your Mustang spoiler then you got a $50.00 paint job and more than likely you will have to pay a second time to have it done right.
So for all you late shoppers that are ordering painted Mustang products for your loved ones eleven days before Christmas, there is a good chance the elves will not have it finished in time to load on Santas' sled.
Ho Ho Ho.......MERRY CHRISTMAS from BANGASTANG!
