Almost Done

Here is some pics of my 2013 GT. In 2020 I sold my 13 gt that was supercharged and I always regretted it. So I told my wife if i ever found a decent equipped one with less than 5000 miles I would buy it. Well I found one with just 124 actual miles and in November 2022 it became mine. Its a long story. I brought it home and immediately changed all fluids. Installed Weld Laguna wheels and some new tread. In rear i used roush drop springs a massive pan hard bar and bilsteins to still keep a decent ride but to get that more level stance. Also added 3D Carbon gt500 style rear spoiler and used ppg hot hot matt black to paint the faux gurney flap part and at foot away lol it looks all Ford. Removed the factory over top stripes ( because i just wasnt a fan ) and they lifted right off with heat gun had one lil tiny quarter spot of glue to remove that was it.
Then I installed 160 degree thermostat a lil DEI watter wetter and a Roush 710R supercharger package from Brenspeed and 401 shift boot and 401a shift ****.
Then flowmaster outlaw axle backs and some 06-07 style Shelby GT emblems.
Next week it will get a super nice detail all over because its sat on my lift for months uncovered and tomorrow it gets some window tint. Once its detailed its done. Dude in pic is my friend and my painter and had no idea he was in the pics sorry. He was the one who forced me to finish car to keep me busy. I also did the roush hood hinges. Im not impressed I have used redlines in past and they fit better. Also my last GT I did the edelbrock 650e package from Brenspeed. I have only driven car 20 miles since the blower but I truly think the edelbrock car ran way better. However my car nowruns extremely well dont get me wrong but if Iwas buying another kit Id get the edelbrock.
I wanted to post pics sooner but my wife suddenly passed away last day of February and to be honest I just have not been in the mood to do anything and im really still not. We had dated on off 10 years and I finally decided to get married Oct 28 then this happens. We were super happy and I know others go through same stuff but I gotta say its hardest thing I have ever dealt with.


ever dealt with and Its sure tough.

First and foremost, very sorry about the recent passing of your wife, as I can surely understand your reasons for not having the passion nor interest in doing anything, let alone posting on a website forum... In the meantime, excellent find on your 2013 GT with just 124 original miles... I also agree with removing the black stripe, as she looks much cleaner without it... That being said, I also really like all the mods you've added, thanks for sharing, and congrats

Thanks so much for posting those photos. I am ultra sorry about your wife. I'm not even sure how you mustered the strength to post here so soon. Perhaps it's good to reach out to fellow car lovers for some company. Maybe it is something I would do as well, but if my wife of 45 years passes before me, I may end up like Fred on Sanford and Son having the 'big one'.
We all wish yout he best in the future!

It always saddens me to become aware of a loved one's loss.

Love the color, the double vented hood, and the wheels. Enjoy the Stang.

Goodness. I'm so sorry about the passing of your wife.
I hope it wasn't because of those **** "c19 shots".
It made me so sad to read that. I can't imagine the pain you are going through. My heart and prayers go out to you and your/her family.

Nice car. You did a great job.

God bless.
