Hey Tanner, would you mind showing a couple pictures of how it's attached? This is pretty interesting to me.

Top is located and aligned with a factory hole in the sheet metal.

Bottom is flush with the strut tower.

Also ordered these to mount the radiator.
It's a nice kit.

Intercooler is tucked behind the bumper and now fits. Coldside tubing will be a little more work than last time.

The pipe going to the intake is both crooked and unattached to anything, but it was hanging there when I took the picture so...



Hopefully radiator mounts will be here next week and I can start working on coldside 2.0 as unenthusiastic as I am about that.

Still don't have a hood, have no bites on the old hood anyways.



TLDR: Meh...

Started building these 12"x16" stands today. Proved to be more work than I had thought they would be.
Also, there's no wheels or even rear axles on my car so they're useless for the moment

I think they are doing an excellent job holding that tire in place.

I see a lot of guys building stands like that. I question if I'd get under a car sitting on them though. How stable are they?

As stable as a car sitting on the ground I'd say. Would take a lot of work to roll the car up over 4 2x4s. And very strong I would imagine.

Not sure they do. These aren't DOT approved like the first gen stuff

Finally got these dang things done. More work than I thought they'd be. But they'll be handy...eventually.

For now they're stackable and make great stools!

Got the fenders trimmed for the downpipes. Need to cut holes in the valance tomorrow which will be a good bit trickier.

Radiator mounts showed up today.
Feel free to admire my zip tie holding it back.
Have to come up with some tabs to bolt the top to the support.

I've gotten no hits on my old hood. A lift off will require a whole slew of additional work and parts I'm not sure I want.

I'm ALMOST to the point of cutting a hole in my current hood. It's not what I want long term but if I can't sell it, it could at least do the job for now...I don't know.

On about 12 Facebook mustang sales groups.

I can't imagine I'll cut it up. Just roll hoodless for a while.

Dzuz rails, removing wipers, living with a lift off. Not sure I'm feelin it. But I also don't want a standard cowl hood.
A problem for later.

Someone messaged me about 20 minutes ago wanting to buy it this weekend. Go figure.


Need to tweak them a bit but the bumper is trimmed and everything fits.
Be able to mark the exhaust off my list soon

They arent reccomended for highway use, but, i have driven my car with them in some pretty decent rain and they were better than a ET street bias ply and about the same as the old et street drag radial. Most people with a car that needs a tire like that try to avoid rain.

I've checked 5-6 different places that carry the 275 pro and they all state that they're not DOT approved.
The 315 is listed as approved though.
Weird.

I had a set with a DOT number stamped right on the side, they needed the DOT stamp to keep them in a bunch of radial classes. MT says not for street use but they are a DOT tire.
