Lots of mods this winter are done
Been very busy, I still have to finish hooking up one gauge I added, change the oil and filter and I'm ready for spring.
- Modified rear suspension to fit 10x15 inch wheels (looks like I can fit 12x15)
- Installed a double DIN Kenwood stereo with Pandora and Iphone5 support
- Relocated the battery to the trunk and added a 850 CCA DieHard Platnum marine battery
- installed charging post under the hood for the battery
- All new wheels and tires, 10.5x15 MT slicks and M&H 17 skinnies for the front
- Installed a new rear sway bar to make room for the suspension mod for the larger wheels
- Installed a new front radiator support / sway bar delete (with the bat relocation and this sway bar delete, I lost close to 100 lbs of the front end).

Nice ride, are your stripes factory? If not, where did you purchase the stripes and is the color silver? I like the "eleanor" grille, I am thinking of doing the same mod for my "pony edition" Mustang.

The way your weather is going in the northeast, you might even get to drive her come June or July! LOL! It drove me nutz when I had to store our Stangs when I lived in PA and the Chicago areas.

Here's some pics of all the work I did this winter to date. I'm sure there is one or two I missed but, its the bulk of it. Been a busy guy.
The gauge far right is what I just installed. There was a Sirius radio mount there but I'm using Pandora now with the new DIN.
New double din Kenwood with my custom background
This is where the OEM battery was, now there is charging posts there.
This is where the 0 cables come through the firewall and up into the area where the battery was.
Finished battery box with a digital meter (activated with a push button) to check battery voltage.
Push OFF lever for the track (its off for the street and looks stock from the rear of the car.)
New rear sway bar (with modified OEM mount for clearance)
This is the motorized exhaust dumps which work great..
Mustang sill plates
New driver side motor mount bracket, the OEM was hitting the headers so, built one out of 1/4 inch steel plate.. Now I have plenty of clearance.
OEM next to my home built
