snapped a few pics over the weekend at the Smithtown show. mostly interior/trunk shots though

Car board I made. I have a slight obsession with uniformity as you can tell with the 2 tone and red strip lol


My MSD box, I flipped the stickers upside down so i can mount the box "upside down". reason i did this is bc the direction the wiring comes in this was a lot easier to make look cleaner, NO ONE has ever noticed it but i figured since no one has ever said my wiring in the hood is sloppy so i guess it serves its purpose lol


I put mini-me on the shaker at shows



That was 3 die casts put together to make one. 1st one i used for the exterior that i painted but it came with standard interior so i bought the 2nd one to swap out the black deluxe interior to match mine, the 3rd one was a 2004 Mach 1 that I stole the rims from. i have to much time on my hands at times....

Year One gauge cluster with wood grain decal and i got chrome moldings and put it around the openings to look like the original one more. according to my speedo i am going really fast in this pic too





3 point seatbelts buckled


custom rear seats and panels.




Fully upholstered trunk with oil/water/fuel cans.

i love the way them came out. if you need any advice ask me. i was confused when i first ordered them bc mustang monthly said four 2 5/8" and the year one site said four 2 1/16" gauges. wishful thinking i got the bigger size and had to return them and order the smaller size.

I need your opinion on this everyone. I have 2 amps hooked up to my radio, 1 for the 4 interior and a 2nd one planned on hooking up 2 10" JL subs. I have the subs already and I am thinking about taking the carpeted panel in the trunk and cutting out the holes and mounting the subs there. I might make a small enclosure behind each sub but I was thinking just run them open air for looks mostly. Would it look out of place to have subwoofers in the back of a muscle car or would it fit in with my setup?

To further explain the location of them, the pics I put up aren't the best but imagine 2 subs where the 3 cans of oil/gas/water are. On that panel.

The dash looks great. That is the same gage panel I am going to use in my 69 Coupe. IMO the sub's would look out of place in a classic Mustang.

Have a pair of subwoofers open brings back imagines of unfinished cars to me. My personal opinion is to enclose the subwoofers.

Thanks again for all the compliments. I recently took apart my radiator and got a dual electric fan and shroud setup off a ford mystique. The shroud is the exact measurement the core is on the 69 so it looks perfect there and it pulls about 3600cfm so I will not have to worry about running hot in traffic. I also took the shaker base off and have it at the body shop getting painted the grey to match the car. Lastly I got a custom plate made to go on top of the ac compressor that matches the valve cover fins. I painted the valleys black so it really looks good next to the valve covers. Once I get the shaker base back from the body shop I will install it and post pictures of all the new goodies.

here is the AC compressor cover i was talking about.


another angle of the cover and the new dual fan setup.


a little better picture of the fans


here is the shaker base painted the same color as the car. i put a red pinstripe to match the car. i think it looks better than the blue one.


i still have to put the front back together and radiator cover but i just wanted to get some input on what you guys think of the changes. i have to clean everything up and take pictures with something better than my nonsmart phone.

I really like that red pinstripe around the shaker.

Did your car come with the shaker or did you have to purchase it?

No its aftermarket. I got it from cjponyparts a while ago. The fitment was an issued. I struggled with motors mounts to lower it and then I had to modify the base to make it sit even lower so the hood would close. The hood I reused the original one and cut the hole and welded up the holes where the turn signal wiring went through. I have a few pics of that in my build thread. I
