So how long did it take about 20minutes? Wonder why ford decided three years later to add that radiator hose support.

Brian-I've got the breathers on each cam cover as well as the oil cap. After installing the oil cap breather I don't have problems with oil collecting in the valley of the passengers side cam cover anymore. Just FYI.

Ray-Nice shot.

The plumbing is different on the 2007+ in case that might have something to do with it.

A little longer because there was three surprises we didn't know about They made the plumbing more secure than previous models. Cool little tid bit: I didn't have to use zip-ties to hold the plastic chingadera up. There was holes already drilled into the radiator support so it looks stock of you look underneath

Yup same as Bill. I don't have the P/N's but I'm sure Bill does since he's the one that gave them to me.

11lb difference between the stock support and BMR support. If you add the weight of the swaybar you lose a total of 26.5lbs.

PACKERS WIN!!!!!! Can't believe they've bounced back so well after a 4-4 start to the season. Looks like the playoffs are within reach. Excited to see how A-Rod handles his first playoff game.

Started the install for mole skins today. Loosened all bolts and screws on the drivers side and pulled the door skin loose. Low and behold the GT-500 already has felt installed on the inside trim. Easiest install I've ever done.

Anybody in the market for mole skin felt?

FAIL. They've had felt since 2007

So I figured out what cups to bring for the next install party

1 of: K&N 62-1340 Vent Filters
1 of: K&N 62-1320 Vent Filters

I forgot which is for what side, PM scramblr.. he knows.

You will also need a (rubber) cap for the intake. I got mine from Autozone (one of those variety packs). I backed it up with a hose clamp too.

Plus I'm sure your tint guy would've tried to gouge if you didn't have the felt already.

Ray's probably thinking "This is the last time I tell these guys someting."

Everybody gets their turn in the hotseat, Shelby guys are no exception.

I hope Ray's internet doesn't go down now.

I'm hoping to do it today or tomorrow. I just need to get hold of a drill for the self-tapping screws. eBay situation should be up and running today. I'll be posting the UDP's for sale by this evening. Need that Vegas cash money!
