Hmm I’m going to definitely look into this. Once I get all of this done and put back together I’m going to combine all of this with some quality tint and hopefully it’ll make a noticeable difference

Also do you have any advice on how exactly I would go about fixing that? It won’t be me doing it but I’d just like to get an idea on what that would entailCheck the area where the doors bolt to the cowel, they may need attention too.
That’s wild that it was enough to melt the rubber shift boot. I’m actually about to finally put in the shift boot and it’ll be the first time the cars had one since it was swapped to manual who knows how long ago. Having some trouble getting the tunnel hump from lmr to fit correctlyI can say the Dynomat I put in the valdez did the job, it was very hot under my feet and down the trans tunnel before, the heat under this car is enough it melts the rubber seal at the shifter hole.
now it's barley warm.
I couldn't say, I will leave that to an expert, the type of repair depends on the damage done.Also do you have any advice on how exactly I would go about fixing that? It won’t be me doing it but I’d just like to get an idea on what that would entail
Do you have a link for the heat barrier? Definitely going to look into thatI used the 80mil Killmat and then 2 layers of the noico heat barrier. the car is very quite and it stopped the heat off the floorboard.
You can find it easily on Amazon.Do you have a link for the heat barrier? Definitely going to look into that
https://amzn.to/2WbtoWE I’m assuming this is it. I’m glad you mentioned this because the southern heat is absolutely brutal and this will come in handy on top of the kilmat that will be going in. Maybe now I won’t be cooked alive when I get in the car after a hot day and when combined with the tint I’ll be throwing on should be a good comboYou can find it easily on Amazon.

Yeah I think this definitely played a big part in it. I didn’t expect it to take this long since he’s usually very quick but I guess I did hand him a pretty big list of things to do and he’s only one person. Before I found the S550 I had big plans for the fox and I was going to make it into something special but now that’s all going on the back burner for a while. My girlfriend had to go to the dealership for a recall on her car and when she was there she saw the mustang and sent me a picture of it and within 4 days the car was sitting in my driveway. I’ve wanted a coyote mustang for a while and since my former daily driver is basically done for I pulled the trigger on this oneCongrats @sav22rem22 !! My daughter just got a S550 ecoboost, and it is a beautiful car. I know that same gorgeous car, with V8 noise coming out of it, would be AMAZING!
I know when I had my floorpans welded in (I long ago made a decision- I will do all my own work, except for welding) the shop did a great job, but took months. I think these guys would make more money overall if they could schedule work such that jobs get done and out. I only say this because, if other customers are like me, I get fired up about my car- and will do a lot of work if I can strike while the iron is hot. If I get delayed months, next thing you know, I'm excited about something else for a while, less likely to spend $$$ on my car project for a bit, until I get excited about it again..
I don't know- first world rant on my part I guess. I know those guys are busy and have their reasons too- I'm not hating on them! But I can't help but wonder- if your car was fixed sooner, would you have bought the '17 GT? Maybe you'd be back in their shop paying for more stuff?
Yeah I definitely feel that has something to do with it. I’ll be taking the car over to a buddy’s on Sunday so I can take the rear drums apart and maybe bleed them all in the appropriate order once more to get the rest of my pedal feel back. I’m honestly not sure which quadrant is in the cad because the pedal rack assembly seems to be out of a 4 cylinder since the car was swapped to a manual. I do know however the car has a firewall adjuster. Given that I can fix the above issues I’ll be investing in a V8 pedal rack so that my feet aren’t smacking the clutch and brake at the same time and I’ll go ahead and swap out the quadrant and cable assembly as well.Don't lose steam man, you'll get it fixed up!
I suspect a lot of brake feel comes from the rear brakes and adjustment of them. If they were in there messin around with the e-brake cables and brake lines, this could be why? Sounds like you gotta take the drum off anyways- maybe a spring popped off or that little adjuster cable or something is all it is.
Also- are you still running the original equipment ratcheting clutch quadrant? If so, try pulling the clutch pedal all the way up, and then try the clutch again, see if that helps the clutch feel.. (if I'm not mistaken, that should adjust/reset the clutch quadrant pawl against the quadrant)
I had a car that leaked water from the windshield when it rained- I bet some guys have sealed theirs up with some caulking, but, for peace of mind, I had a windshield installer come out and install a new windshield. For the car I had this done on (a 2000 VW beetle that was my daughters) it cost 250 bucks. I hear they can remove the windshield, and if it doesn't break/crack when they take it out, they can clean it up, and re-seal/re-install it, and obviously it will cost you less as there's no windshield to buy.
I used the MM subframe connectors too- and the seats bolt through them, and through the floor and your seats, so, maybe they just left a seat bolt loose?
I wish I had a nice little shop or even a concrete pad to work on my car. We have a gravel driveway that’s at an angle so I have to send my car off for anything that requires jackstands and it’s frustrating because of things like this.I hate reading stories like that. It makes me glad that I can do stuff myself.
Sounds drive your back brakes weren't installed right or the e brake cables are rubbing the tire.
The windshield will need to come out to get resealed correctly. Patching floors is ok as long as the surrounding metal is solid and the repair isn't sloppy.
Keep keeping on with the plan man. These road blocks don't last forever
