What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[mustang_puppy]

Installed BMR rear shock mounts, thinking I could also put in the rear strut tower brace. Got the passenger's side inside mount done, but I guess I need new drill bits; took 1/2 hr - 45 minutes to get through the sheet metal. Putting in the driver's side mount... PAIN IN THE ASS! Blasted fuel hose barely moves, even unbolting its brackets . Not sure how anyone else did it, but definitely have a helper give you a hand (as they state in the instructions. What a novel concept. Following instructions! )

there's special high strength steel used in that area which resists drilling and probably work-hardens to boot.

Majority of swirls are introduced by owners. You couldn't pay me to use any kind of waterless wash.

I agree. You have to spray with water to spray off as much dirt/dust as possible. Then spray with a foam cannon and hand wash with a high quality Micro Fiber wash glove. Never touch or wipe your paint if it has any dust at all. Swirl Marks will occur. Never go through a Touch type Car wash with your nice car for you will create swirl marks. Paint just doesnt seem to be as tough as it use to be.

aluminum is harder to paint than steel and back when, humans did the work so thickness was all over the map and "excessive". Now with computer control they can put EXACTLY the number of microns of paint down to "cover" and not a droplet more. All to save themselves the obscene wasted cost of an extra coat. The savings of which they pocket and who gives a damn if the paint comes off if you sneeze on the panel after 3yr of ownership.

Car out of the garage and all cleaned up. A better picture of the driver’s side grille air flow modification with Velossa Tech Big Mouth Ram Air Snorkel.

Seat material. Funny as I went from leather to katzkin leather with red suede inserts (see my avatar) and now STICK to the suede!! Love the look and feel. Plus not as hot when wearing shorts which I do most all summer.

I will only buy cloth seats living down south. Leather and 100 degress doesn't mix.

Took the car to the dealer for shifting issues that are in TSB 22-2139. It was pretty quick...under six hours and got the car back. We'll see what happens.

I used to think the same thing, but there are plenty of offerings for gen 2 engines.

I see 3 at Americanmuscle.com

And 2 are clearly the same thing re-labeled, with one missing the "5.0" badge.

been driving the 66 lately since i got it back this spring with a newly rebuilt engine.....

i stopped at my local dealer and they offered me $33k for my 15 GT PP1.
thinking about selling. love the car but have other plans.....(bronco, Boss 302) and need to have $$ when the time comes....

sharpie red.. get a pack of the dual tip fine and ultra fine… take your time and it will turn out great… it maybe be a little darker than your seats. I did mine and it is hold up great.

Looks great! Any idea how long it will hold the color?

Installed UPR vertical links. Wow, what a pain in the ass. My ESS kit was easier to install than these were lol

Started prepping some calipers for paint.

Low milage so really not bad to begin with in regards to cleaning.
