Well worth the trip.

That is one sexy car. Nice work

I looked outside at the warm weather, looked at the covered car, and said "......soon."

I bet everyone was not even looking at your car, but was amazed by that sweet lift.

Took her for a short drive after dinner. No better way to relax after a hard day!

Yeah, it was a cool day for sure. Knowing my limited skills, it probably would have taken me 6 hours to do what he did in about 90 minutes.

I believe the difference is in how it mounts to the transmission. He explained it as saying it's now like a top loader like what was found in the 2004 and earlier Mustangs. Much more connected to the transmission so that the shifter moves with the transmission when it torques and therefore prevents misalignment and the infamous high-rpm lockout.

It feels great. The difference in quality between this and the stock shifter is night and day. Way more solid and beefy feeling. Slightly stiffer to shift due to that, but in a good, confidence-inspiring way.

Did you look at his suspension set up on his boss? It's amazing how fast George gets the job done

I would have, but it wasn't on the premises. He said it was out getting an aftermarket hood (can't remember which one) fitted because he needed/wanted better heat extraction.
