What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[GMONSTAH]

It’s been a miserable year, so I treated myself for Xmas and I don’t give a shit; just so happens to match my Need for Green too!

Took advantage of the Black Friday deals.
Thanks to beefcake.

Installed a Ford performance toe hook up front to match the one I installed in the rear a few weeks ago. The photo of the rear was taken before I re did my garage floor. This covid thing is giving me too much time.

Went back to stock front grilles and added a PP2 replica splitter and gt500 spoiler. I hated the PP1 spoiler so much, lines flow so much better without that huge wing.

what kind of grill did you have? I am just about ready to order a Cervini's C style grill. If that is what you had and you want a quick sell pm me

Yes I had a Cervini C series upper and lower. Bottom grille has a small bend in one side of the mesh but otherwise perfect.

Took it for a maintenance wash and drive around the town for fun since it was dry and warmer today. Giggled like a child again at my obnoxious exhaust.

Let me explain. I had a Honda S2000 track car that was so low that i could not get my floor jack under it. So I built a module drive up ramp. I parked the complete car on it and removed the center section to jack up the car and placed jack stands under it then removed the modules that were under the wheels. Now that I have my Mustang and a quick jack system that I store under the car I just didn't need it. Well I missed it so much that I built a improved one. Its wider and still has the modular design so that the center sections can be removed when the car is parked on it and when I jack it up with the quick Jack's and want to work around the wheels I and just slide them out and away as well. Anyway here it is.

Need a write up on this .... I like it and have been trying to work out something similar. Interested in your ramp designs

I will work up a complete B.O.M. early this week. The framing was all 2x4 construction with a 23/32 ply wood top. I built the same type pf ramp with 2x6 framing for my S2000 because i needed a litttle more room because I didnt have a quick jack back then.

I feel like there's a LOT more people driving around with no insurance these days. Not sure why or why the penalties for it aren't harsher.

Many years ago I was t-boned by an uninsured driver the day after I bought my RSX-S. State Farm absorbed the cost, handled everything well for me; years later they sued her to recover the cost. Hind sight I should have sued her too for my never ending back pain.

Thankfully the Expedition had no other visible damage. The mirror was tucked, so kinda impressed that they managed to hit only it, bend it backwards and extend it all the way out.

The good news is that those were the towing mirrors off an F150 and I still have the originals. Reinstalled them this afternoon in about 30min.

To be relevant to this thread: I put another 350mi on the Mustang this weekend. Went up into MD then hit some fun roads in WV. 3K miles on it so far; bought 2 months ago as a side car. I look for every excuse to drive.

Here are the quick and dirty instructions for this type of ramp.

Put GT/CS hi-temp decals on front calipers. did not have a decent size for rear but I guess like brembos, logos only up front?

I got rid of the aftermarket circular tail lights that were on my mustang when I bought it used. Thanks to a fellow forum member, I got a great deal on his factory tails.. and they were already tinted!!!

sorry, for the dark pix. I work nights.
