Gurley Leep's body shop has quoted me about $425 to paint and install my GT/CS front bumper... Does that sound reasonable?

Stopped by the show in Dublin,OH on my way home today. Most Mustangs I've ever seen in one place. All years,colors,models etc. Alot had their covers on, Sat & Sun will be the big days.
Met dly & chatted w/him a bit.

Scott,
I'll talk w/you tomorrow. Saw a Boss 429 same green as yours there:nice:
Chance of rain going down, now calling for mostly sunny:poke:

Nick,
Let us know how your install goes,I'm betting you're in for a full day.

Hey Robert,
Nice to see you back. :nice: My Vert has those big chucks of metal on the rear end. I don't know why some cars have them and some don't. Even cars just built a few weeks apart are different. What week is the Dream Cruise this year? The wife and I have been to two of them. Very cool time.

Hi Scott,
The dream cruise is the third saturday in August. Why do you think some have it and some don't. From a production standpoint it doesn't make sense to us. What year is your GT?

My car is an 05. It was built in early March of 2005. I really don't have any idea why some have it and some don't.

Hi,
Gentlemen, and you too old indian dude. This is Robert with Shaftmasters. Just thought I'd say hi and let you guys know our new user name. Since we quit advertising on this forum we had to change our user name which we understand. We are currently reevaluating our desire to continue in the GT market. Our driveshafts were working fine with no complaints until just recently when we have had 4 different customers use our unconditional money back guarantee and returned our shafts for a full refund. In every instance they had done significant rear suspension upgrades and complained of excessive harmonic vibration after installing our shaft. After rechecking these shafts and finding nothing wrong with them we resold them to customers without these suspension mods and have yet to hear of any complaints from them. This tells us there is some compatiblity issue between the use of aluminum driveshafts on the GT's and certain suspension modifications. Do any of you guys have harmonic dampers installed from the factory on your axle housings? We have read where some have them and some don't. If we can find a cure to this issue we will be back in the game, if not then we can no longer continue to market these shafts since these suspension mods are becoming more and more popular. Any help would be appreciated. Are any of you guys planning on coming to Michigan for the Woodward dream cruise?
Robert

Yes, I had them on my axle, removed them to install the J&M LCA reco brackets. I still have no vibration with the Shaftmaster shaft.

Hi Scott,
How have you been. Have you done the talk show host yet? So can we assume that anyone doing the aftermarket lower control arm mod has to remove these dampers? Also do you think that they serve little use?

Ok, upon further inspection, removing the subframe was not at all necessary.
We started at 11am and finished at 4pm. 5 hours. Not bad!
The passenger side manifold hit the ground at about noon, with the driver side following a few minutes later.

The Mac headers included new bolts to use in place of studs. Very nice. We Loctited them all. Some of them were VERY awkward to get screwed in due to location of the header pipes. Starter removal was easy, as was removal of the stock engine mounts.

With the headers bolted in, putting the Starter back in is 33.33% a pain. The bottom two bolts went in easily. The top starter bolt hole's line-of-sight was blocked by a header tube so we could not see it. We could feel the hole with a finger or two. So, about 20 minutes later we were finally able to find the hole and get it screwed in from afar with about 3 feet worth of extensions and a few wobble extensions.

The prothane mounts went in easy. So did the mounts that bolt onto the engine. Larry was right about the allen bolt on one side being a PITA. But we got it.. Vibration is very minimal. Hardly even noticeable. The car seems to be shifting a LOT smoother now with these mounts in, too! Yay for Prothane/MGW!

One potential issue is that the engine now seems to be sitting about 3/8" FORWARD of where it was. My shaker scoop is quite a bit further towards the front of the hole, and the front of my c&l intake is touching the power steering fluid bottle... I'll have to see about rectifying this.

With the Mac LTs, Mac Offroad Prochamber, and the Flowmaster ATs, the car now sounds VERY VERY oldschool. Its surprising. Oddly enough, at cruising speeds (and ONLY cruising speeds), the car is QUIETER than it was before. Now, there is absolutely no droning inside the car.

I'm not sure it feels any faster.... I'm running the 91 octane tune right now, will load the 93 tomorrow and give it a try.. I have not gotten on it that much, though. So we'll see!

Gas mileage.... Very nice. My average gas mileage on my 200 mile trip back from Wisconsin was 29 MPG. :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin: I did not tailgate any Semis. I drove slightly above the Speed Limit in WI and IL (55 and 65 depending on where), and exactly at the speed limit on the IN Toll Road. I did not accellerate aggressively.

Thanks to Larry and Scott for their assistance and advice with my ongoing project! :jester::jester::jester:

I hope you never need to remove them for anything, the Aluminum heads and locktite could be a bad combination. My car leaned out slightly after putting these on, Brent adjusted my tune for them and then at one of his Dyno Days we found it was still lean.

Heading to the shop to turn up the shaker air extension for you. As far as the motor being 3/8 foward you can loosen the rear transmission mount bolt and both of the motor mounts and push the whole engine and trans to the rear. You may need help but it will move back to it's original position. You will need to use a floor jack also to carry the weight while you push it back.

Congrats on your install, sounds like you had it easy.
I did notice when I put in my prothenes,it was shifted slightly forward, but only like 1/16"if that. I only had to line up my Shaker sideways( to clear steering shaft) The fore/aft with the hood is still even.

Man did all the covers come out and the pristee cars head for their trailers. By 4:30 the lots were only 1/4 of what the show was. Got alot of wind but hardly any rain. Free car covers were all over the lot as they were a flying with all the high winds. Scott and Larry , It was great to see you guys and you showed all the good pictures already. But here's a couple you didn't:

Attachment 59877

I think I got beat out by a Hosting Club members Vapor Grey Shelby GT 500 Vert and I tied a mostly stock Blue GT Vert that was owned by a MCA Board Member. Third place was a Parnelli Jones Saleen. Non winners included 2 Red Shelby GT500's, a white Shelby GT and 2 other California Specials and about 10 more GT's and V-6's. There was a stage 3 Blue Roush in my class and I didn't see him called for a plaque but later I saw him carrying one????
My class wasn't judge but was voted on by all the mustang owners in the show, I had several come and tell me they voted for me while others came by with a number already placed in the box as I spy other their shoulder even before they looked at my car. Oh well I guess I did as best as I could, just lucky Tommie wasn't there:poke:
It's late so I posted more pictures tomorrow
