Just got the driver airbag inflator recall done on the Shelby.
Took less than an hour, including the tech putting the car up in the air for the required multi-point inspection, hoping they'd find stuff to upsell me.
They found nothing.
Recall itself took about 10 minutes once the tech actually started it.
On the way there:

Sounds good. Glad you had fun. Thanks for reminding me to get my recall done.

Today I started doing some work on my car, didn't finish since the rockauto shipment didn't arrive today as scheduled
But I got the new blower belt on, the new 170-degree Reische thermostat is in, the new hydro-dipped engine coolant tank is in, and I've removed the alternator belt and tensioner, they'll be replaced tomorrow if the new ones ever freakin' get here.
So, half way there:
Both tanks as I was picking them up from the hydro-dipper:

Lol ... when I got back home after having her recall done, she comes out to meet me in the driveway, she laughingly asks "how many times did you spin my tires?" ... "only once" was my honest response, lol ...

Took the green machine for a nice cruise after supper since it was really nice out. What a blast! Car runs and sounds amazing.
I may detail her tomorrow after beating my body up at the gym since we're getting some needed rain here. Sunday looks awesome, but I'm devoting "my free time" to washing the Ram Sport. She needs it badly.

Been driving the ever loving snot out of my Mustang. If the road is dry the top goes down and the smiles go up. I start the Fusion once a week just to keep it fresh in case I need to use it. It gets no love.
Today was prep day for a show on Sunday. On Tuesday it joins me for an almost 3hr drive to the South Jersey Shore outside of Cape May. I'm visiting some friends for three days at their vacation rental near the beach and it'll be the first time the Mustang won't be garaged. But I've been itchin' for a long topless excursion down the parkway ever since I got it, and the days I picked look to be the best weather of the week. I'll deal with the ocean salt spray and dust when I get back. It'll be worth the effort.

Installed the new belt tensioner that finally arrived today (rockauto order, went for the cheap DHL-involved shipping which turned out to be a cluster****, DHL delivering it to the local Post Office which then took 2 days to bring it to me).
Went to install the new main serpentine belt, it was over a foot too short.
What sucks is that I ordered the "main belt" as they listed, same part number that Tasca's site was also showing as being the main belt.
I didn't order the accessory belt, which I would think to be the belt that only runs the A/C compressor.
I'm now returning that belt and buying a Gates belt from the local O'Reilly in the morning, so I can finally finish putting the car back together
New belt inside the old belt:
Called the local Ford dealership, turns out the belt I need is a BR3Z-8620-D, not this BL3Z-8620-D, and that BR3Z part number came up after I told the part person the engineering part number that was on the old belt, BR3E-8620-KA
Tasca's screen, showing the belt I needed as being the part I ordered, which is stupid short:

I probably wouldn't order a belt online, I'd have to go and see it in person, compare it to the one I had. That's just me though.

Crappy pic time! From my iPhone before yesterday's date night for sushi, and a movie of suicide squad with wifey. No kids!!!
Marilyn had a coat of CG butter wet wax. First time I tried. Awesome stuff.
Kona blue when swirl free and lusciously wet? Game over.
Also include the sushi pics (of course!!!)

Thanks Tony.
Just got back in from working on her, got her all buttoned up this morning, new Gates belts, new Gates idler pulley to replace the Thump Racing pulley, topped off coolant systems, and ran her for probably about a half hour.
No leaks, and according to my Aeroforce gauge the coolant temp was staying right about 185-186 degrees, and that's without altering the fan settings, which I have yet to do.
Happy so far.
Still need to flush the brake fluid, and see if i can flush the clutch fluid somehow.
Pictures and video coming up!
