It needed it! It's pretty much back to the way it looked back in the day. ![Firedevil](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/firedevil.gif)
Things I noticed..
Getting an exhaust rattle on the rear drivers side when first started (cold). I knew exactly where to check and yup, it's the Stinger hanger rod hitting the frame. When they installed my new H, the rear midpipes weren't pushed forward enough. Easy fix, but was too lazy to do it today.
Getting a little hiccup when the motor is warming up when the rpm's go up. I'll ask Greg about this, but I have a feeling it's the base tune as it feels 'unrefined' through the power band.
So yeah, spent around 3-4 hours cleaning and tinkering with the car.. it felt good!![Icon Mrgreen](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Jed-Billet grille looks great. I vote for no emblem.
Bill-Car looks clean as usual. Now get out and rack up those 500 miles so the real fun can begin.
Hurry up and get those CS69's.![Stickpoke](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/stickpoke.gif)
Here's the ebay gauge vendor. Just shoot him an email asking for the gauge you want and he'll respond back with a price.

Hey 89Trooper, were you at the MOSI event last week?
Jonco, were you there? I think I saw your car but since I've never seen it up close I'm not positive. I went buy the one I thought was yours a couple different times but nobody was immediately around it so I didn't get to meet you if it was yours.

If I was Wade Phillips I'd cut Brad Johnson at halftime and and send him home on a different plane. He is far to old, slow, and weak to still be playing. What are they thinking?

Does a bear **** in the woods? Hell yeah I'm excited. Best part is Wednesday's my last day of work until the following Wednesday. So I'll have plenty of off time to thoroughly enjoy my new found horsepower.

So why aren't you out driving? We shouldn't see you on TMS unless your at work. Any other time you should be behind the wheel of the TR.

+1 Jed, Looks great.
You gotta show me how to do the whole porter cable thing. We talked about it and I'm still apprehensive 'cause I don't want to burn the paint. Still I have the spiderwebs and if it will help then I really ought to do it.
Did Randall cut you a break on the price ?

Atleast the Packers are 2nd in their division and only one game behind the Bears which they still have to play twice. After today's game the Cowboys are going to find themselves in the cellar of the NFC east 2 games behind the Giants. Not to mention the Cowboys were Superbowl favorites.![Stick Out Tongue](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

I'm actually at Kev's and staying here for dinner so no time to go home and cruise.
If the weather looks good this week, I'll take it to work.
I would like to check out your SC on Friday if time permits.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I was totally surprised. Had to wash the car today because I didn't have a side or rear 3/4 shot since I've bought the wheels
. So I got pics now. They are all nice cars and I'm fortunate to be considered.
Wait til Tues/Wed... I was dying, thinking of all the things that could go wrong, motor blowing...etc (this was right when Bill's died).... Not joking, I could have been talked out of doing it all togther I was that paranoid. Still Greg or Adam (who's doin the install did I miss that) whoever you decided on knows their **** and you'll be driving away in one awesome car !
Well, I thought it was just me guess not. I'll have to see about getting one and then have Randall help me out at one of the R&Rs or something. I've seen the little movies on the Adams site but nothing compares to having hands on experience. The Meguiars thing isn't a bad idea at all.
![Doh](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/doh.gif)
Tell me about it. That's the main reason I'm not going to the NHRA event or to the GTR open house.

Sure I can show you I actually followed the vids that came on a DVD from Adams some of these vids are on their web site also. Wouldn't you know it a new generation of pads came out. Whats good about that is all of the gen 1 pads and the adapter is on sale aka closeout. Randall is a nice guy be he has to be one of the least responsive Adams sales guys out there. Everytime I try to use him he forgets about what I ordered.
Funny I have better luck ordering from Stage 3 Motorsports that's in Arizona and I get it quicker + (no shipping) go figure. I can tell CS is not job one for him. ![Thumbsdown](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)
The buffer I bought direct from Adams, you they are local , their shop is in Torrance you could order online then let them know you want to do a will call that's what I did.
