Well this project is moving along at a much more accelerated pace than my last few cars. My plans for the Mustang were to knock out the cosmetics then just chill, save and enjoy the car for awhile then look into going supercharged.
Anyways, this week made 1 month since having the car. Unfortunately I didn't have it for almost 2 weeks. I just got it back Tuesday because a few weeks ago coming home later at night on a small back road, 2 dogs were wondering in the left lane (keep your ****ing dogs contained people) and when I was slowing down, one of the dog started to lunge towards the front end of my car. My natural reaction was to swerve to try and avoid it which put the passenger side of the car into a screwed up ditch (no shoulders) which ended up snagging on the PP air splitter and pulling it back which caused it to pull on the front bumper as well, breaking off the clips and causing flex which make the fog bezels, and grills to pop loose as well. Anyways, insurance got it fixed up for me. I took at to a specialized Ford body shop to make sure it got the right treatment and they did a great job. The upside I guess was, when I bought the car I specifically asked not to drill the bump for plates and they did... so once I found out they were replacing the front bumper I requested not to tap it. So now I don't have that ugly crap on the front.
Anyways. Since having the car I have done the following.
35% ceramic tint
1080 Black Gloss on the roof
Full front and rear Anchor Room light vinyl tint kit
Borla S Type catback exhaust
Blacked-out decklid GT symbol, front pony emblem
Gloss black 5.0 badges on the way
Velgen VMB8 Satin Black 20×9″ front and 20×10.5″ rear concave wheel with 255/285 tires
I'm really feeling like the only thing left on the outside is Eibach Sportline springs and painting the brembos white using G2 paint kit. Then I might move to the engine back. I have a buddy who does great hydrodip work.
