What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

I started down that road - I have the 24"x18" plexi in the garage still. I initially mocked it up using cardboard and duct tape. With all the areas that needed 'filling' I decided it wasn't worth the level of effort to get a clean looking finished product. That said, I did pretty much sacrifice my Airaid box by dremeling out the the opening to accommodate the JLT.

Yeah I was figuring you had to with the airaid since the JLT tube is bigger. Nice mod tho, looks clean.

Where i live (apartment complex) they won't let you use the water to wash your vehicles unfortunately so i'm forced to use a car wash. I always lived in houses and did the 2 bucket wash method but moved out here for a great paying job and live in an apartment until the job assignment ends. Then hopefully i will go back to Florida/South Carolina or Georgia area.

I'm living in an apartment as well right now while we figure out if we want to build or buy. I have used a coin-op car wash a few times but I still do the 2 bucket method. I've since switched to a rinseless wash and wash it at my apartment. The stuff is like magic when you can't use a hose.

With the winter coming up I put a battery tender on, along with a volt gauge. Working great so far, tender comes with alligator clips or can hard wire with an inline fuse. I have it hard wired and I can just unplug it when I'm not using it pictured here with the red arrow.

Here's the Tender I purchased if anyone is interested.

^^ nice.
can I come clean that engine bay though!! ;)

Thanks, yea I need it cleaned up and I don't even live down any gravel roads or drive it down any. I guess its just a dust magnet under there.

Unfortunately I did this today..........the GF of 3 years decided to break up with me (my fault) and now I have to move out, we just got a dog (6mo blue pitt) that I love that is hers so I wont get to see him anymore, etc. I was in blank daze, jumped in the car, started backing up and backed right into her car.

Paint chips / scrapes and the lower quarter panel above the bumper is pushed in with a few smaller dings inside of it. Was quoted $1400 to fix it all, seems high to me? $450 if I just wanted the bumper re-painted and re-aligned but dam near an extra grand If I want the quarter panel fixed. He said they need to pull the quarter panel (and the rear side glass?), get the body straight, then repaint and blend all the way up on the roofline over the window. Ive used this body shop multiple times in the past and they have always done fantastic work and decent prices, $1400 for whats pictured just doesnt sound right to me.

Jesus man, $1400 to fix that? Someone in another thread was just commenting on how all these bumper damages that look minor turn out to cost a couple grand and stuff. That's crazy. I don't work on that side of the table and never have, so I can't say what it sounds like.

On the other hand, sorry to hear about all of that man. Especially the gf breaking up with you.

Thanks guys, yea needless to say Im not in best of spirits. The car was just the icing on the cake

Might check eBay, Craigslist, etc for take off parts so you don't have to repaint anything

Sad day. I noticed I got my first dent and have no idea when or where it could have happened. Crazy location too, IMO. At least it's small, but I'm sad.

Might be hard to tell, but is the paint scratched or is that someone else's paint (or whatever else might have done it)? I have no idea. I put the closeups at the end.

Try dentdogs.com the last picture on the site photos looks just like that. A friend got some hail damage done through them pretty cheap

For those of you who enjoy fishing, I decided to take a pic of my Mustang next to a boat [emoji2]
