Re: JB's Build Thread *Update 8/22/10*

New AM Smoked headlights installed...looks pretty much the same, just fresh and clean.

Still wrestling with this catback...my extensions and clamps aren't holding...so it looks like its back to the exhaust shop to get some welding done.

Also, since I changed my console to a Mach1 console, I no longer have a spot for both my convertible top switch and my fogs switch. Anyone have any ideas on splicing in a new fog switch and tucking it somewhere?

Re: JB's Build Thread *Update 8/22/10*

you could try and run the wires into your armrest console, trace the outline of the holes from your original console, then transfer the tracing to the inside of your armrest, drill out with a dremel, just pop in the connectors like they used to, just in a diff spot. So where are those pics and vid's? Am I going to have to get a vote started to get you banned like I did to Nate?

Didn't someone sell some Pacifica boomtubes in the forum classifieds within the last year?? I believe they're motorcycle mufflers applied to Mustang applications...

It came out great...I have it sitting in my garage right now tho because I was playing with the foglight switch and wiring and never put it back in. I need a new foglight switch. I'll get some pics in the spring when everything starts coming back together.

Exhaust pics I forgot to put up:

Ignore the leaky diff...also, this catback was meant for a foxbody so I had to get some extensions welded in, and I'll have to fab up some brackets to get the hangers correct.
