What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Biggsy]

Getting closer to having the wheels ready to go on the car

How many coats? I need to redo mine. Let brake dust sit too long I think.

Calculated the cost of all of the remaining mods I want to do and said "Hmmm. That's a weeeeee bit more than I was planning / thinking." I may have to revise the list. Or not.

The more I think about it, the more I think I need to just send it. I need to help the economy get back on its feet!

Or trade/sell it for one that’s already built with the mods .... LOL

Did you paint your rear spoiler or it came black from factory??

Bought it from ebay

finally got around to uploading a video of the exhaust I installed last week.

Drove to Yarnell and back.

I briefly thought about that. But, I don't think they make the Red Line interior anymore. And for some reason, I'm hooked on that. And, even if i did find a suitable replacement, I'd have to start over with some of the mods. I've been looking, just to see, and right now, nothing's jumping out at me to make change.

Although, there are a couple of 350s that might come down enough for me to make a move.

I haven’t actually done it yet. I’ll probably get around to it the next weekend I have off. I was thinking about doing two coats. All I’ve done is mount/balance the wheels/tires and test fitted them. So while they’re still super clean, I figured coating them now would be the best and most efficient option

Yea that’s what I did with mine. I did two coats before I put them on the car. Definitely best time to do them. But after my first time washing them and now whenI wash the wheels I can definitely see that it has lost some of the coating.

That sounds really good on loud mode. Is there an in-between where the valves are partially open?

Just removed the shift knob and the chrome emblems. New stuff arriving tomorrow.

yes it has a remote with two buttons one to open, one to close. if you press and hold for a second it opens or closes all the way. if you tap the button it will open 25% per tap. They also sell a "smart box" that is blue tooth controllable and GPS enabled. Check them out online https://xforceusa.com

I bought my 2008 convertible on that basis: Everyone needs to make a living. Same thing this time, for the 2019 version. That plus the "Mount Everest effect"—It's there, and I can.

Today: Drove from San Diego to I-8 via Hwy 94, Honey Springs Road, Lyons and Japatul Valley Roads; return to San Diego on I-8. Bedded the brakes, and found the speedometer will show more than (redacted) MPH. Nineteen point one MPG displayed on the up-curve sector, climbing and curving; as high as 88+ MPG cruise-coasting back down on the freeway; 31.X overall. Maybe an 80-mile loop ending at odometer 260 or so. Such fun.

Lower left corner to upper right. Mexican border very near the bottom.

I picked up my Best Girl this afternoon! She's been at the Beauty Shop for a month.

Someone ignored the fact that it's a 4000 pound traffic cone and drove into it.

Despite my best efforts, the 2012 Jeep GC tried to mount her and just rubbed her left hip. Besides, the guy in the 1970ish Datsun 'what's it' pinned against the guard rail would have been hosed if I didn't stop with the brake and full starboard rudder.

The little parking lot dink was nothing but an inconvenience. She is just a race car now*.
