Lots of sweet Mustangs for sure Ed. Looks like you had a really great time at the museum, no doubt. Meanwhile, thanks so much for sharing all those awesome ponies

Will have to put that one on my list of things to do this summer. Have a couple pics of my girl all finished up. Didn't take her out the garage tonight still some lingering clouds and also some showers and couldn't get the final coat wet for at least 3 hrs.



clouds broke for the last one. Will follow up with one of her outside tomorrow.

Thanks. The hood was horrible. Who ever polished it last before I bought it didn't really know what they were doing. It looked like someone put some air bubbles in the clear coat that's how bad the oxidation was on it. Took me 2 hours to clear it up. Thank goodness for the chemical guys. Lol I know what you mean. We have a tree right outside our house and my wife's car is covered in it. A little hesitant to put her back out there.

When detailed properly, black has one of the finest quality paint finishes IMHO, The only issue, is that you notice every little spec of dust, smudge mark which requires more routine detailing/cleaning over most other car colors.

Installed the Steeda torque box braces to compliment the Steeda jacking rails I installed earlier.

I bit the bullet and purchased the Vector V2 tail lights from American Muscle about 2 weeks ago. I have to say I like them very much! The diffused red lights keep showing up as kind of "orange" in photos; it's really a nice solid red that is very close to the third brake light color. I also installed the Cervini Speedster covers for the summer


Sequential lighting as well as a very pronounced separation of the three bars!


Here are the OEM assemblies with the MMD black bezels. The bezels just seem to have to sharp an edge to them al the way around

The smoked lenses will be a nice touch!

almost there...


Here is a client's 2019 GT for comparison; These tail light bars really pay homage to the original design idea rendered by Mr Halderman
Hope everyone is enjoying some excellent spring driving weather in your part of the world!

Looks fantastic. I like them a lot but I'm waiting to see how good they turn out to be in the long run. I got burned on the first run of Vectors.

I'm with you on the longevity issue; I saw a fellow on Youtube who put these on just over five months ago, and I asked him how they were holding out. He responded that his new V2 set was still like new and running perfect, unlike the crappy waterlogged set of Vector V1's he replaced. I'll certainly keep you posted on mine, and give an honest review of them.

Although I do like the V2's a lot, I'm also concerned with longevity as well, following the water condensation issues of the previous V1's

Switched the wheels on the Vic and the Stang.Now the Vic has the base model Stang wheels/skinny tires,and the Stang has the black Bullitts.When wifey asked me what I was doing,I said I'm putting the cooler wheels on the cooler car
Now the Vic REALLY gets rubber when it shifts into second with the skinny,hard compound tires

I fixed a chain noise of my Boss and installed a MGW shifter in my GT350R.
I had a rattle noise high in the engine on cold startup. Replaced both primary chain tensioners, problem solved.
