What did you do to your S650 Mustang today?? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Ninjak]

Taking a break from installing my Dashcam. I have the front cam in and wired up, and I also have the back cam wires wired around the driver's side and ready to go to the back glass. Now the hard part.

This was as far as I could reach from the front seat and outside. Now I have to figure out how to get my 6-4 ft, 285lb frame in the back past my roll cage, and somehow into the position to finish the wire run to the middle and mount the rear camera. For an added bonus it's 90 degrees outside with a real feel of 98 and 75% humidity. The garage shade is doing nothing except making it hard to see.

After all this time, I finally got the Ford Performance Sport axle back installed. I don't know if there was a pricing error, but it was listed for under 1k. Absolutely could not pass that up. Also came with the DH valance and diffuser.

Did you remove the rear bumper, or were you able to just replace the rear valance?

And how does it sound? I heard the Ford Touring is quieter than stock

So I originally installed just the DH valance myself with the prospect of getting the axle back later. I didn't remove the entire bumper when I installed it. The dealer did this installation.

I have the Sport, and it's only barely louder than it was. I do have an H-pipe as well.

Today change the color of the grill pony to Race Red. Used a decal, as I have to ambition to disassemble the front bumper to remove the old pony and put a new one on, so I found a place that makes a decal. Using a heat gun, little spay water, small squeegee, some race red touch up paint and a lot of patience, managed not to screw this up, not perfect but I am satisfied. The red pony fits much better with the car apperance.

Well my driving partner was a 120 lb European Doberman. Sadly he passed in January. So last night I took my 8 month old Doberman for his first drive in the Dark Horse and he was awesome look forward to many cruises in the future with him.

Sounds like fun. NOT! Hope it works out well though.

Just make sure you can also get back out once you are back there. LOL!

Today I drove it on a 150 mile back road "cruise" where posted speed limits were sometimes obeyed. Always fun driving with fellow Mustang people.

Well, good news, everyone! I was able to slide, turn, and pull myself into position to get the rear wire done and get the camera up. Hah, the roll bar actually helped because I could pull and push on it to get into position. Getting out, well....yeah. But I made it.

So overall I am pretty happy with it. I do not have any good pics; it's hard to see through the front glass, but that was one of my goals when buying this model. I'll take it for a spin and see how the video comes out later.

So project Sub and Dash is finished. Now I need to put the dome lights in I received for the BRaptor.

Fitted a different front cam to see if I prefer it, and cleaned the air filters. For some reason they get really mucky, worse than previous cars. I wonder if it's because the intakes are closer to the road surface on the Ford?

Went to our cars n coffee. What a show. Everything and anything was out this morning. From an actual F1 race car build to a bike setup as a Seadoo Jet Ski.

Was great turn out as usual. I am trying to process my crap-tastic camera work. I did have someone send me some pics of the WarHorse.

I know your pain. I'm 6'2" 250 and have an 8 point bar in my S197 when I got it all finished and I have removed the rear seat belts and have a rear seat delete. I noticed the airbag light on because I need to plug the rear sensors up under the package tray. Interior is all black and 90 degree heat and I dread having to try and get in there to hook them up.

I actually purchased pre cut letters, they come with 3m tape so installation is super easy. Here is a link https://3dworkshop.us/collections/ford

Thanks @Kaleza ! I hadn't found these yet. How proud of the door sill plates do you feel they actually sit? The seller claims they are 3mm tall, and while that seems slight vs. the stated 1 or 1.5mm depth of the embossing on the door sill plates, the sellers photos make it look like these stick way out from the plates.

Do you think you'll kick them frequently? Do you think they'll catch more dirt, or be harder to clean, than the embossed sill plates?
