Default My First Mustang


Here's some pics. I have not washed it or cleaned it up yet. Gonna do that this evening. Although, I did spend $100 bucks yesterday at autozone cuz I came out of an office and the car would not start. Needed a battery, and you cant help but buy some extra stuff!! Monday, I have an appointment for Flowmaster Delta Flow 40 Series to be installed. I cant wait to hear it then.

looks good, but aren't your hood pins a little far up?

They are, but the previous owener did that, so it is either leave them til I get a new hood, or drive around with the holes. It will be taken care of eventually though.

welcome to the forum
My thoughts exactly, but if you look where they are mounted under the hood, where would you put them that is further towards the front of the car? I bet if the car were in front of us, live, the placement would look fine.

Still need to wash it? Looks better than two of the four cars at my house (just washed and waxed two of them this weekend or it would look better than three of the four cars at my house).

Good looking car, welcome to the site. I think the hood pins are fine. I've been told that in pictures my hood pins look like they are too far back also, but they are in the stock location.

pictures are crazy that way. You'd think my car is a 67 mustang when in fact it's really a 92 ford tempo. Ha ha you guys thought I had a mustang!
It's probably just the angle you took the picture at. Other than that great ride, and enjoy!

I dont think you could put theme any farther forward under the hood unless you fabbed something.

i dont know if its they are too far back as much as it is they are too close to one another. Usually the hood pins are spread out as far out as the rubber hood bumpers that come off the radiator support. Nice looking ride though!
