Changed out the exhaust manifolds for Jet-Hot coated units.

I didn't realize until just now that I'm unable to see where your intercooler tank/reservoir is located... Isn't it usually mounted next to the radiator coolant tank and power steering reservoir?

Obviously, I asked a really stupid question, as I didn't even notice it was behind the CAI until you just brought it to my attention... I suppose that my attention was so focused upon the radiator shroud location that I never thought to even consider looking behind the CAI location... In the meantime, thanks for bringing me up to speed, as mounting the intercooler reservoir behind the CAI is also an excellent location as well...

Thanks for understanding... You're exactly 100% spot on about being used to seeing something like that in a certain place and not paying enough attention for other locations... I will however be more aware in the future...LOL

After 20 Years of S-197 Threads It is Real Easy To Get Tunnel Vision! Lord Knows My Noodle Filing System Needs a Clean & Purge!

Factor In I'm on the 3rd Medication Variant in Three Months Since You Can't Consistently get Your Regular Meds These Days and I Get To Go Through 7-10 Days of Malaise Hell Everytime There is a Change! Today is Day 2 on Latest! The Good News it's My Regular Meds! Now If I Can Just get Them Next Month & get Back to My Normal! Which is Mediocre at Best With Fybromyalgia!

So Take Any Questions & Statements From Anybody as You Just Don't Know What This Person is Going Through or Dealing with at Any Givin Time! Kinda Like Toby Keith Rest His Soul I'm as Good as I Once Was! Man I Know That Feeling. They are Few & Far Between! So Take it Easy on Yourself Rocky!

We are All Just Trying To Get Through This Thing Called Life! I am Proud To Say I Still Believe We have The Most Kind Mustang Site Around! Nobodies Perfect & We All Miss a gear Now & Again With a Post! No Harm No Foul! A Small Group But a Really Good Group!

Be Well!

KC

Thank you, Kevin, as your recommendations and life experiences are always valued and much appreciated... Like yourself, I'm also on various types of medications which at times do affect my vision and can also affect my thought processes as well... Therefore, I totally get where your coming from and agree 100%... Although this is moving away from the topic, I'm now dealing with blood coming out from my urine following my biopsy surgery from 4 days ago...

I called and spoke with my urology specialist on yesterday about my concerns and he claims that blood in the urine is normal following biopsy surgeries that require cauterization, but this is now going into the second day in a row and I am now getting very worried and don't know quite what to do

Try Not To Focus on it. I Don't Know About You But These Days I Heal So Much Slower Than My Younger Days. Takes Forever For Cuts To Heal & I Swear it's Worse With Band-Aids I Don't Know What Chemicals They are Using These Days But it Seems To Hinder Vs Help. I Pass Blood From Time To Time Because of My MCS Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. If I Have Handled The Wrong Thing! Which is Just About any Liquid You Should Not Ingest. I Just Keep Trucking Along and it Passes! Literally!

The underside is really clean so I'm removing the exhaust and driveshaft and rear end, detailing the rear end and clear coat it. Wet sand the exhaust and clear coat the painted sections underneath. Replace the driveshaft with an aluminum unit FPP. Should be good.





How the heck you keep that underside soooo clean???

Work at it.
I have access to a 4 post lift next week, hopefully I can get some newer pics posted since I did some upgrades.
Oh and by the way MadGT - that's a beautiful Mustang you have.

Having a 4 post lift sure makes keeping the undercarriage clean much easier than having to depend on using jack stands...
