Again, bravo.
Clean, elegant, strong lines. They nailed front end as you say.

They knocked this whole thing out of the park.  I don't normally get a boner for older mustangs but this thing is hot.  I can only imagine the man hours that went into this.  

I might be afraid to drive it for fear of getting soccer mom'd.

I feel the same way!  I'm ready now!  My car is buried behind a bunch of bikes, cars, rv's and jet skis in the building my shop rents space in.

I put 10k miles on it last year.  No major complaints.  I did have a quarter window seal start working it's way loose but had that warrantied while it was still in effect (expired now)

I've become a Chemical Guys addict and am getting too good at cleaning cars up.  It's turning into a compulsion.  If I didn't have a bunch of stone chips (touched up well enough by the dealer I bought from) I'd probably do some sort of ceramic coat.

The MGW shifter I put in is awesome.  No regrets there.  Other than I have to explain to some dealer people how to get it into reverse since there's not collar to pull up on anymore [laugh]

I kind of want to put an exhaust on it but *everything* I hear has a rasp to it and I hate that so I go back to being fine with stock.

I have a set of 20" tires to buy anyway :P

I love this thing.  [evil] [evil] [evil] [leo] [leo] [leo]

If you were 20 years older...

that wouldn't scare you. :-*

Take it out of context and get back to me.

Glad you're liking it, ML.  8)

I've had mine out a couple of times recently now that it's warming up and the crud is off the roads a bit. Hoping it's nice out this weekend.  [thumbsup]

I daily drove a ‘66 Coupe from ‘99 to ‘02.  ‘A’ code 289 (factory 4V carb, but non Hi-Po) with a C4 auto and a 3.00:1 open differential 8” axle.  Dark green with a black vynil top.  Never bothered putting a radio in it.  I just like the way the V8 purred down the road.
