What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[shogun32]

I was in Tomcats. I liked the F4 as well, but nothing compares to an F14

I used to drink coffee in the traffic control tower... Not anymore.
I was going broke just from the laundry fees.

When I lived in Japan, I was a quarter mile off-axis and 6 miles due north the Atsugi approach/departure path of an F4 squadron or two. I don't know why but they would fly by my house at maybe 3000AGL as slow as a snail, bursting ear drums of the poor sods who lived in the high-rise apartments. I guess back in the 80's the USN could give a sh*t about noise abatement. There was just no need for it.

man, the open sewers are STILL there 40 years later...

Looking to do these or a couple others I am debating on. Man, I wish I had a photo with them on the car. Argh.

I really love that top wheel. I tried to make it bigger and can’t tell what is the brand?

Did my second mod today. Ordered a new blacked out pony for the grill and 5.0 badges using my Ford Pass points from the purchase at the dealer. I got them installed this evening. Looks much better, chrome doesn't belong with this paint color IMHO. Getting the Ford Performance Blacked out trunk panel tomorrow, hope to get it installed soon.

How big of a pain in the butt was it to swap the pony badge? I looked at a how-to video from CJ Pony Parts and they tell you to snap the old badge off... I'm not 100% sure I want to do that

i’m wondering and did the same team looking at the videos. I’d like to get a green one.

It was a pain. The 22 has a rubber air duct under the removable shield that requires the bumper to be removed, that shield isnt in the videos. I was able to finagle my hand down in there and snap off the studs on the emblem and then I went and got some strong double sided tape and used that to attach the new one. Will be much easier if I ever need to remove it.

Next mod came in today. Like it but it came with an RTR logo. I had to research and find out what it meant. Supposed to be blank with no emblem. It definitely looks better than the chrome GT that was there.

Don't know if the year of the grill matters or if worth doing it this way but I recall posts showing where to drill thru the pony from the front exactly where the studs are.

I used a set of needle nose to break off a piece at a time until it was all gone, then put on the new one.

With double sided tape or on the studs that were there?

With my 18 I undid the top radiator supports and the air box fasteners. With the air box pushed back it allowed the radiator to be pushed back and allow an arm to reach down to the. back of the horse.

Did my first oil change at 3300 miles.

LiquiMoly 5w50 (recommended for superchargers) with a K&N filter.
Also swapped out the drain plug for the UPR billet version - probably overkill, but it counts as a mod.

Looks like you drive over your Quick Jacks?

Its a bendpak mid lift scissor lift. Mine is made to be put flush in the ground. I just have not had time time to cut out concrete working 84 hour weeks so i made temporary ramps. It lifts 40 inches. On a 8ft ceiling my mustang is about 6 inches from touching at max lift. I do 99% all my own work and with a bad back its a god send, lol

I put the new one on with sticky tape, 3 years + still going strong.

Foam bath to keep it clean.
