Saturday, was front KYB Gas-a-Just shocks and I detailed the inside of the fender wells, front chassis and added a fresh set of those little splash guards.
In '73, when my dad got the car, there was a similar set of splash guards that the previous owner had installed but, were a bit tweaked after 49 yrs.
I almost just removed them and didn't replace them but, they may do their job one day... The KYBs made a great difference!
Today, I installed a couple of new "Ivy Gold" repro arm rest pads.
This coming Saturday, I'll install the new rear KYBs and clean up the rear chassis...
I'm waiting for an 'over the console arm rest/cup holder' in "Ivy Gold" that just fits between the buckets (the simple one) and an 'air conditioning front console chrome trim piece' for the naked edge on the front of the console that was removed when the dealer installed air conditioning was installed.
Both of these pieces are backordered with no E.T.A...
Car looks great! She's a beauty!

Ugh... So jealous. I'm getting real sick of this winter. I'm glad I'm keeping my oem brembo rims and tires. I'm gonna use em when the roads are still icky next month or two. This is too long.

No, I live in San Antonio now, and have for the last 17 years. My family is still in the area so College Station is still on my visit list each year.

Those don't come cheap 'ya know. Not too many SG/ saddle with glass roof available out there?

Actually i've never seen or heard of a similar equipped Mustang.

How's it going? Still itching to start her but decided not to and instead popped out stuff in the engine to get them painted.
Yes I'm going to the auto show but I don't know which day yet. I hope the 2015 is there.

Officially confirmed by Ford and the auto show site, the 2015 will be there. Hoping we see a GT coupe. Fingers X .

Drove it

Been sitting for a couple/few days, when I first started it she didn't run all that smooth ... took it on the road and drove it the way they should be driven, and she was much happier

I droved mine to the dealer for a front end alignment. Took the looong way so i could listen to the new pipes. It's so gorgeous here in Vancouver right now i could've put the top down if i had a rear windscreen.

Being that yours is a Canadian car, I would say it's probably 1/1 in that combination of options.
