actually Thursday, but installed my www.customcargrills.com complete grill set, I paid $380 shipped but they were worth it! didnt have to deal with the headache of cutting and gluing, not to mention they use authentic Ford grills. Added my @MF_AutoDesigns coyote badges. and lol that is NOT me in the last pic, thats from a car show I went to

First oil change got me too....overflow cit-ay. I'd been using the same 5qt pan for decades and didn't give it a second thought. :headbonk:

The new one I got holds 4.5 gallons... good to go now!

I drained my JLT 3.0 oil separator today. This is from around May 5th, damn good amount.

Installed the Mishimoto coolant overflow tank cover

Removed the JLT logo off of my intake. Filled the low spots with molten ABS material. About 4 coats of filler primer, sanded between each. Should be done tomorrow-ish.

Another coat of primer and I should be able to move on to the base coat.

Paint looks great - how do you get it to shine so much?

Local car cruise in.nobody in my area brings the S550 to the shows and I get tons of questions on these new Mustangs

Over the weekend hooked up my sound system power/ground wires that I ran under the car previously. Installed a new high performance sound system battery up front (XS D4700), and installed some custom battery terminals I made for it. Couldn't find any terminals on the market that would fit the tiny bit of space we have in the battery compartment, especially with the top of our battery not being flat. Had to cut the front of the battery tray but otherwise fit well.

Overall the wires are nice and protected and safe. It does look a little cluttered since there are so many, but with the amount of wiring going on here I couldnt find a way to make it look any neater. Also ran a wire from the upgraded alternator to the battery. That cable is fused to 400A (370A alternator), the other cables are fused to 300A each.

Got the battery cover to mostly fit back on. The wires were touching the hood at first so I raised the rubber hood stops a bit and seems good now. No marks or anything on the cables. Wired up the rear battery and battery isolators. Installed methanol pump.

Very unconventional mod huh :lol: More info and pics in my Build log. With current fuses capable of transferring 600A to the sound system. That should be sufficient for music. If needed i can up the fuses to the cable's max rating of 750A.

please explain..........

Should say oil drain / catch pan, while changing the oil. Guess it only had about a 6qt capacity, the rest then went all over the garage floor.
