After getting all the front end and fluids changed, the weather finally broke down here. High of 72 degrees (I know, I'll shut up). I'll probably be laid up on the couch for three days but cleaning it all up was well worth it.

I can certainly relate to being laid up on the couch for 3 days after performing maintenance tasks along with washing and detailing my Mustang.... Once you get to be my age, the body and joints don't quite function as well as they did back in the day...LOL

In the meantime, congrats on getting your Mustang all cleaned up, as she sure looks absolutely stunning.

Man That is PURDY!

Makes Me Want to Shine Up My Vista Blue Gt-500!

And I Would Be Laid Up 3 Days! Going Through That at The Moment Trying To get 5 Dinosaurs Tarped Up For Our Random California Rain. 3 Verts With Real RAG Tops & 2 With Roof & Rear Window Seal Issues! Don't Want Em To Be Bath Tubs!

I Absolutely LOVE The Look of Your Car. If It Were Mine The Only Thing I Would Do Which I Think Really Makes The Side Pop is Replace The GT Fender Emblems with The Powered By Ford Emblems!

Kacey, no doubt on the emblems. I wanted to switch them out way back but chose not too due the how often the OEM's were being stolen. Now that it's a garage queen, why not.

My Cobra Snake Stays as Well!

As An FYI, Be Aware There are Some That are very Similar But Not Exactly Like The Ones on My First Link! These are $62.00 And Both Are Nice Just Different!

I know that feeling as well. It's a GOOD hurt though when you see the results.

Looking very sharp in that Sunny and 72…. Just dreaming when we will get back there.

Car is looking great, and well worth some weekend football I hope you got on the couch.

Yes, I had the couch, feeling good now, just in time for a 4 day weekend to do work around the house, then more couch time to recover!

Did a shoot with an old buddy of mine who just got back into a Stang with a new 24' GT.

My Fondest Memories of The Mustang Are The First Gen Like My Big Block 68 GT/CS. I Can See Those Cars in The First Gen S-197. While The New is Certainly a Fine Vehicle I Can't See That Linage in the Body Style. I Love The Classic's!
