This guy looks like he just got a finger caught in the jack. :)

Ford Performance camber plates installed. Not a hard job at all, took around 1.5 hours each side taking my time.

Super easy to access everything if you remove the caliber and rotor.

Note: No pressure is being put on the shock tube, it is resting on the table, the vice is barley snug to hold it steady. I need a different spring compressor, but I did get it to work, barely.

how you have that lift hydraulic line routed makes me nervous.

How so? Plenty of clearance.
Just not a fan of how the line is turned back upwards right after the fitting at the cylinder. I see you have the roller mod installed as do I. I run the lines straight out after the cylinder fitting. They are already angled slightly downwards (like yours) so they lay flat on the ground and are under the part that lifts up so they cant be pinched. Yours is probably OK, but for me I need stuff on the ground when I can so I dont trip over it.

Ahh gotcha! I disconnect them while working 9/10.

I didn't for this, because I was raising and lowering it to get a basic alignment before going to the shop.

I started it for the first time today after installing a Hellion Sleeper kit. I ended up going with the MBRP 3" exhaust that kept the active valves. It sounds absolutely wicked. I can't wait to finish the tuning and get it on the road.

I'm working out an issue where the BOV's are staying open at idle: I've got about 21 inches of vacuum at idle. I wonder if the elevated idle (raw tune, have to send logs on Monday) with a closed throttle butterfly is what is causing that. Though slowly advancing the throttle doesn't close the BOV's, they only close when I quickly rev the engine.

Those with stock M1's: what is your idle speed and vacuum reading at idle?

I really need to invest in the ceramic coating as it sure makes the FJG pop!
Pic of what I did after the window tinting just in case you’re interested.

Can’t wait for this to go in. Hopefully tomorrow.

Its amazing how dynamic the FJG is... It can literally change colors in different light. Your's looks fantastic.

My experience is (though I have a full PPF wrap over an FJG) that the photo effect is very sensitive to the lighting (tint, orientation), the ambient color of the scene, and photoprocessing the phone AI decides to apply :wink:. I have already many shots of my Mach 1, some, not so many, with heavy dark gray tones, and some almost whitish in direct sun.

Looks awesome dude! How much power you hoping to make?
