So I stumbled upon this new add from Ford for the new Shelby GT500. Quite funny, I love their sense of humor, although I must say I’m a classic man myself and much prefer a vintage Shelby GT500 but I wouldn’t say no to this.
And how about this one from last year. Steve McQueen, the legend lives, driving the modern Ford Mustang. It’s quite ingenious the way they’ve done it.
Word just in! The old girl is heading in on Monday morning for the fitting of some of the kit and the last bit of body work with the rear chassis rail. Now i’m very excited.
Updates and photos will be posted as they come to hand.
So these are the blue lights in the front valance just inside the main headlights. Seems they are not produced by PIAA any longer and have been hard to come by. Luckily enough one of my friends on the Customfastback forum has a spare pair, and better still, they are brand new in the box.
Paying for them on Monday and hopefully have them in a few weeks. Once i get these that will complete all the exterior lights i need.
In an effort to keep the engine bay clutter free and neat I’ve decided to relocate the battery to the boot, and thankfully this isn’t too difficult with the Taylor Aluminium Battery Box. IT comes with relocation cables so setup should be a breeze. Here’s what is said about it.
Taylor’s three-piece aluminum battery boxes meet NHRA rules for installations where there is no firewall between the driver and the battery. They fit most battery sizes and hard-mount the battery to the frame. The removable top allows access to the battery without having to remove it from the box. A heavy duty, welded hold-down and the mounting hardware are included. Positive and negative standard battery cable included for trunk mount relocation.
I finally got around to purchasing some more of the lights for the car, i went the easy way and bought them all from the one place, Mustangs Unlimited
