What did you do to your GT350 today?

[young at heart]

Great photos Charles!! I like to photograph cars too and I am totally biased on my Magnetic GT350.

Stunning car and photos Brad!

Could I ask what kind of wheels those are?

To avoid a very long post I've decided to consolidate my work into "What did you do to your GT350 this month"
I've had a long list of items waiting to be done on my Shelby and for some reason was procrastinating. Now that the weather is warming up I figured I needed to get these done.

1. Buzz Rattle Fixes for C Pillar, Trunk and Front Dash.

2. Unplugged Ford Modem in back trunk.

3. Bemaro Films Front and Rear Shelby Badges, Steering Wheel Stripe.
4. Full interior detailing, including the dreaded inside back window.

5. Etsy Custom Radiator Support Bar Plaque
6. Removed Hood Prop Rod (installed redline last year, but had left rod on)
7. Steeda coolant tank - finish install, lube cap threads with silicone
8. Track Decals on rear window

Outstanding job my GT-350 brother Loren, for a while there I hoped that you were not slacking

My GT-350 is no way detailed under the hood, nor as clean in the cabin as your blue beauty !
Guess that I have something to shoot for. One item that you might consider is to reinstall the hood prop rod. I only raise my hood to cool the engine or work under the hood, sometimes its a little windy and the aluminum hood dances around quite a bit when the only thing holding it up are the 2 red line struts. I put my prop rod back on just in case I needed it when its windy and the hood needs to be up at the track. Carry on young man, and if I'm ever up in the Wisconsin area I'll look you up.
Regards, Ray

Thanks Ray as always for the encouraging words! I had not done a full interior detail in 2 years (yikes!) so don't beat yourself up too badly.
The prop rod came off due to the install of the radiator support plaque. I guess it was a vanity thing that I wanted it to look good.
Good note about the hood; maybe I will reinstall during track days.
I am planning on doing a full engine bay quick detail which means lightly hosing down the engine bay and gently agitating with some cleaner. Seems to do an effective job for keeping dirt and dust under control and it only needs to be accomplished a couple times a year.
Here is a great video from my guy Larry over at Ammo NYC. I love his thought process and methodology for maintaining the car.
go to 20 minutes into the video..

Vossens they are.... VFS-10 to be exact and unfortunately they are discontinued. The VSF-1 is similar and still in production.

Threw on the Auto Fanatic rock guards up front this afternoon. Trying to patiently wait for my AR BiRDS to ship before I throw on some stuff under the car.

The BiRDS are awesome. One of those subtle mods that’s well worth it. You’ll enjoy!

Have been chasing a rattle sound. I think the exhaust slid back when I installed the resonator and the hanger is tapping the sway bar when it’s hot and the exhaust expands.

This hanger is too far back right? Need to try and push everything forward or trim a bit off the factory pipe up front?

That’s 100% your rattle - without doubt that’s too close, especially for a 350!

Can’t believe I’m reading this. My pops came by when I was putting my hood struts on. Told me the same thing about wind at the track, and I kind of laughed it off and assumed it was just his love for Ford and his view that they could do nothing wrong at the factory…guess he was onto something! So I have struts with the prop still on…

@CharlesC What exhaust? That's a weird looking hangar for the pipe. I have the same sway bar and there's nothing even close to it on mine.

Factory exhaust.

Looks like a Steeda swaybar or maybe the Ford Racing swaybar. Do you have adjustable endlinks? Bar looks like it should be rotated a bit to get it away from those hangers.

It's the ford performance sway bar and factory end links. Going to try and see if I can snug up the exhaust to push the hangers forward (thinking it needs to snug up in the mid-pipe). If not maybe some endlinks are the move.
