Thanks, Tob, it's been a labor of love.

Started even earlier today..got the wing, brackets, and OEM vent coated so I am finished other than reassembly. <whew!> Sure hope Tom's CARE package arrives today so I can finish this project up tomorrow. That will be eleven days.

Oh BTW, this little ditty (1/2" x 1") was stuck on the bottom of the wing in a very inconspicuous location. 24 gee's...geeze, givemeabreak, bro!

I’m about to embark on this journey with my 2020 PP2. The task is daunting, but rewarding when finished. Great job!

Probably Tom, but only for a few weeks hopefully. I'm in the first batch of Pythons from Terrance so I will be installing the new vent as soon as I receive it.

Hey KB,
If you don't mind, please post some pics of the Python when you get it installed. I am in the third production run and cannot wait to see what they look like. Did you go with the 2X2 twill in gloss? That was my selection and I think it will look amazing. Great looking ride you have.
Cheers.

Marc: I know Terrance will want Python installation photos too so have no fear. :-) Yep, went with the twill in gloss to match the rest of the stuff. I re-installed the OEM vent this morning after giving it a polish and ceramic coat. But she's not gonna be in there for long and I'm like you, I can't wait to see how good the Python looks.

Thanks for the kind words.

Wow KB,.......looks awesome! After you do Jaime's car, you can do mine. LOL
I see your quality control inspector is giving it the once over. A couple of my favorite things, dogs and fast cars. Doesn't get any better than that!

S3: Yep, he rarely leaves my side...that's "Buddy." :-) He's a huge help (not) but I love him dearly. His sister, Lucy, was in the house. They're rescues from our Dobie kennel.

That's awesome.
Dogs are the best!

So what pads and compound did you use?

 

[kilobravo]

Hey Jason, I used:

Rupes 1", 2", and 5" Fine & Ultrafine pads with a couple 2" Griot's thrown in for more aggressive spots.

90 percent M205 with occasional spots requiring M105 or Rupes Coarse

And...(drum roll please...) as of 0900 CDT...

I AM FINISHED!! Sure hope I don't have to do this again anytime soon. :-) I figure I have about fifty hours in it.

Cut out the wing bracket gaskets, (thanks again, Tom,) stuck them down, and re-installed the brackets. Threw a few pillows on the deck lid, set the wing on it until I got the bolts aligned, and tightened everything down. Easy peazy and I went ahead and set the track AOA just for sh-ts and grins.

Unfortunately, it's a downright ugly, foggy, drizzly day here in South Texas so photos will have to wait.

All that work saved you about $3k, looks good, getting ready to cut down my clear coat and coat paint as well, just seeing what guys are using on this Mustang paint. Thanks

SMOKIN! Rapid Red never looked so good.

AOA - going to work it into my daily vocabulary.
