Probably wont sell the car, Just because how it fell in my lap, its my toy, ill make it how i wont it and keep it lol. Im not cutting the 40th dash up.. (the part that makes it a 40th, im using one i had laying around from my 97, sea foam green i will also make a right up To be honest..

might have to do that... humm

Beautiful, same look as mine with the bullits. My paint doesn't look that good tho and i have a black SD hood lol, really need to paint it. Although some tell me it looks nice.

those bullits would look lovely on my car. Great progress on this. Are those off a mustang or what?

They look like the same ones i have and there off an 05+ mustang. The silver colour just goes so great with the Dark Cherry colour for some reason =p

I've clay barred it spring and fall. Looks nice yes but a nice wet sand and buff will bring the sparkle from the flake back

I suppose i should update some of this, I have been working 90+ hours per week. So not much time for me. Let alone my car. A few months ago i blew a fuel line inside the tank. Hacked it together on the side of the interstate on my way to work. Anyways i quit, so i have had some time to get to work on the car!



day 1, i cleaned it. and pulled the fuel pump back out and put a new line on it. Yeay! No more taking for ever to start because it leaks off fuel pressure!
day 2, i put metal coolant elbows on the car, Fixed low coolant light!
day 3, i decided to get the dash fixed/ it had been hacked up for the last 4-5 months. (this is still in progress)

In near feature/ by the end of this year i hope.
1. New metal limg (just wanna get metal in there) while replacing supercharger oil/cuppler
2. Figure out why cylinder 4 has a miss (my guess is bad injector), and fix issue.
3. Install new valve cover gaskets. I bought then 5 or so months ago, But i got it to stop leaking by cleaned the old ones up and added some blue rtv.
4. install new drilled/slotted rotors
5. install slp headers, and highflow cat, while fixing the non-existent rear o-2 sensor.
6. Figure out why the purge valve is messed up (after i have replaced it)
7. install lowering springs, both axles, inner and outter tie rods, and lower control arms, motor and trans mount
8. install scan gauges (i have 3) and the pillar
9. install new head lights and led tail lights

(would like to get done this year but dont expect to)
10. send car to get painted
11. new windshield
12. tint windows

The car now has 119,xxx miles on it! looking forward to parking it as a garage queen within the next 5k miles.

Some pictures







Made good use of some vac line



some test fitting


and this is how it stayed for 4-5 months. (had to go back to work)

used some Styrofoam to mold it. then used my old shirt as the matt lol.





























test fit for left side



start on right side








still more to do





left to do shape left side a little more. then sand and sand and sand.. then throw around the idea of putting the bar across and moving the a/c down... we will see.

Thanks! everything i said up there is already ordered and arrived.. just gotta wait to install. All i have to buy is paint, tint and windsheild
