Default sleeper Mustang commentary, good & not so good

I thoroughly enjoyed modifying my Mustang over the past year. It's been expensive, but very rewarding doing most of the work myself in the driveway. You probably noticed in the photos underneath the car that the dual exhaust is not currently installed. I like the setup that I showed in the first series of photos but after a while on the highway the drone gets to you, so the upcoming vacation up north mandated getting rid of the drone and putting some sanity back in the driver's cockpit. My Suzy and Kali our Pappillion thanked me very much for this. But for the money spent and time involved, most everything I did was worth the effort. The car is very driveable, but adons like the gears, LCAs, front K-member with the polyurethane busyings have put a lot of minor noise in "my daily ride." I would say the tune and gears are absolutely the best and first modes anyone should do when modifying your car. It is money very well spent for the return. Hope you've enjoyed seeing a little of my "car world," and I look forward to more upcoming happenings, take care, Jack.

I thought you did a good job with your ride. I would agree with your new exhaust direction as well as I am not a fan of drone. Keep up the good work!

I thought it was well done, and definitely a good build up. With some DR's and a good launch 14's should be in the bag. Only suggestion I would make is next time, just put it all in thread so people do not have to bounce from thread to thread to get the whole story on your build up.

Ya its sound like a great deal of work going on and into the car, best of luck to you.....there is nothing more satisfying than to do the work yourself. Please, please don't make 27 threads about the work your doing thou.....lol
