Only thing so far I won't do myself is install my 4.10s. Everything else I have done and plan to do will be be carried out by yours truly.

+1 I know I wont be able to do the gears, I hear transmission and gear work is a bear, especially if you dont have the right equipment.. one other I might take in for install would be the shock/struts/lowering kit. Everything else is basically "bolt on and wiggle around".

I did all my mods on my last car. I did the shocks, springs and shifter on this one so far. I did not do the cat-back or 4.10s on this one because I had other crap to deal with and didn't feel like getting dirty. I hope and plan to do everything myself in the future.

I buy most things online through reputable shops such as the sponsors. I do all the work myself on both my car and truck. The only thing on my truck i did not do was the paint job and it will be the same with the Mustang.

Ahh man thats the cherry on top of doing you own work!! I'm not sure about a cat-back but axle-backs are easy and I you don't get too dirty. Hell the entire exhaust system looks easy, but I understand being in a bind for time. As far as 4.10s I was told you would need a shop press and since I have no idea what that is I should leave it to the pros.
