I LOVE that cover. I got it here in the classifieds from someone who sold their car, but I don't know what brand it is. I've looked for a tag, but the prior owner must've cut it off so I don't know what brand it is. Really soft inside, but a heavy kahki/denim feel to the outside.

Ok sweet, thanks! Those are pretty much the exact rims I want for mine. I love the look and color, would go well with redifre I think

Looks Great as always John
I think you might have tucked away too soon, had mine out again today.
50 deg here in January, unheard of, but loving it

So far so good on the weather, although the roads are still salt covered from the snow last weekend. I've been waiting for a weekend day where I could get it washed, where it wasn't 32* or raining out. Never want to put the cover on a dirty car. Finally got it cleaned up when I had the chance since I've lived in Ohio long enough to know that if it's 50* on Tuesday, it'll probably be a blizzard and 10 below on Friday.

Car's still looking great John! I'm jealous that you're just putting your's into storage now...mine's been in since November.

BTW...the car cover might be a Covercraft. That's what mine is and it's custom made for the 05-09 Mustangs.

I would've put in under cover several weeks ago, but it's either been raining, snowing, or I haven't had the time to get it cleaned up. Wouldn't want to put the cover on the car w/out cleaning it first.

And thank you.

Gotcha....I thought maybe you'd had good enough weather that you were still driving it, but now I understand. Now that I think about it, when I put mine away, it was just starting to rain when I finished it and I had to do the final drying in the garage. You can get it killer clean when it's chilly and a little hazy out though.

Car is sick. Do you have the insides of the headlights painted black? Looks different than stock

I didn't mess with the inside of the lights. I think the camera was picking up the light reflecting off of the 'gills'.

Found some of these old pics I haven't seen in a while. I was going for a 70 Boss look, but was never quite able to pull it off, so I decided to go w/ the look it has now (in the beginning of this thread).





Either way is a long way from Day 2:

Is there any reason you're switching from 373 to 410 other than wanting to hit 12s?

Yes. When I installed my CMCV delete plates, I was disappointed by the loss of torque... initially. I ordered the 4.10s to help compensate. THEN I found out that there was a problem w/ my tune. The CMCV delete tune was set for a 80mm MAF housing and mine is 95mm. After the tune was corrected, the car's back to running like an ape. So, now I already have the 4.10's and figured I might as well put them in. No problem w/ the 3.73's, they're a great gear, but jumped the gun and bought the 4.10's and figure I may as well install them now.

Not at all. It mounts to the back of the lid (and the back of the quarters), not to the top of the lid.
