OK Mr. Macho man! Whats the secret in getting the friggin plenum off I've removed I believe all retaining bolts, clips, nuts and thingy bobs and the MFer wont budge, heading back out to survey the situation this morning I must be missing something! I'd love to see your face driving my stang on ice with the rubber on it, you'd have a turd in your pocket too thinking about driving it on frozen roads!.....

He he he...My bet is you have not gotten the 2 bolts that are hidden from view. There is one bolt on each side of the manifold about in the middle (front to back) that is in a hole that you cannot see from the outside. You need to lean in over the manifold and look down. If I remember correctly there is 10 bolts holding it down (5 each side). It's either that or you really are a "wuss" and can't pickup a piece of plastic.

You guys see this?

Read some of the comments - I agree that they really hosed the interior, especially the dash.

The concept dash was much better....

The 1/4 in under 14 seconds?
