RIP (??) RED98

Red,you need to quit talking to yourself .

Glad to hear your stang is back on the road.

And you talk about squeaks and rattles.Man,the way I see it is once you start removing interior panels,your car will never be sound again.I'm used to it,well sort of.I'm seriously thinking about using Dynamat all over the interior.Makes a huge improvement.And if you put the stuff around panels that squeak and rattle,it shuts them up for good.

Make sure your bumper covers are very secure.A fastener in every hole.The covers are notorious for rattling.And those dang plastic snaps get loose too easily.And they WILL get loose if you scrape the lower bumper guard often over parking blocks.

Do the same for the side skirts.There's like 20 of those things on each side.I put a little silicone over the tops of them so they can't get shaken loose.

You may also want to check the radiator overflow resevoir.That likes to rattle if the top isn't secure or the bottom slide notch is cracked.

When the new stang comes out (2011),I'll def be waiting a couple years before I'd lay out some cash for it.You'll be paying up da arse for this.Brand new just isn't worth the $$$$$ imo.

sorry to hear bout the wreck. glad you got it fixed. I wrecked mine almost identical to yours except my bumper was ripped in half. i did the same as many of yall. invested 5k in a new engine and many other misc stufff then a week later totaled it. but yall are right. it was my car and no other car could replace it.
