  Well today I put my DDMWorks coil cover on, and it was so easy to put on. The hardest part was removing one bolt that the plastic  cover snap onto.

Cleaned it and took sister to friends wedding. Let her drive it a little on way back (topless) and got her hooked.

Let's just keep in mind it was his SISTER that was driving topless... Duck1313 wasn't even looking at her....

I added a temp switch for all my light accessories while I wait for a replacement wireless one.
Also took off the driver side fender to grease all of the zerks on the VDI hinge and I adjusted the Allen head bolt as the door was a little low and wasn't closing as smooth as I like

Washed and polished the interior, vacuumed and detailed the interior, and am currently waiting for a coat of wax to dry...the end is in sight!

I took pictures of all the progress.  The first ones with the dovetails are in November of last year.  I was "commissioned" to build this around Thanksgiving of '08!  I auctioned off my services at an Air Force fundraiser.  The winning bidder took awhile to decide what he wanted built... then I took quite awhile to build it.  Luckily, we both moved to the same base from Germany.  I would hate to ship this thing!

Is it a new Mustang?  '10/'11?  Does it have Nav?  Sync?  Gotta be sure you get all the right components/modules/etc.

Wish I could finish wood like that . When I sand wood by hand I burn it from rubbing to hard and long .

                         Beautiful workmanship on both peices    :yay:

Washed mine, but there's still tons of bug guts on it from Canton. It needs claybar and wax but I'll probably never get around to that.

All the bugs came right off of my car. However, I did discover what looks like paint misted all over the front of the car and the side mirrors. Getting THAT off may take some doing, my usual polish isn't strong enough to remove it.

Kenny, have you tried Poorboy's Bug Squash? It's AWESOME, spray it on, wait a few seconds then wash it off. Bugs wipe right off!
