I will post pictures along the way when I get things rolling and try to post any info that might be useful to others. It’s not much for now, but I got excited after I pulled the tape off a few things tonight and wanted to post some pictures now.

You might need to rename this as its going to allow for a lot of confusion since there are more than a few of us active and inactive that either could fit that title or have earned it already. :)

Sorry for the delay... busy day at work. I have a 2004 mustang gt I am slowly getting turned into a decent little car. I posted some of the “along the way” pictures on my intro thread a few months back, but it’s nothing super special right now.

in the end it will be a forged 2v 4.6 with a vortech blower cams and intake. I have decided to paint the car nardo grey while I’m waiting on the short block to get back from the machine shop. I didn’t really have any plans to paint the car anytime soon... but why not right.

As for the title I really put a lot of time into it haha. I haven’t really posted much about it, but from the day I bought the car it has been one thing after another on my never ending list of things to do to it.

I try and add something on stuff I’m building for my daughter. It gives me joy when she gets excited over something on my car. She’s 9 but she loves going fast.
Keep on updating the project and send in the pictures looks good so far

Thank you. I am going to do it to the best of my ability. I don’t have an unlimited budget on this project because the ol lady ain’t got over the last one yet, but it will be a decent little car. 95% of the work has been and will be done by me so that helps with the budget some... trying to figure out a way to get some tfs heads without getting divorced haha.

I can see what ya did but it probably will not show up well until its in the sun.

I’ll post a picture of it tomorrow in the sun. They have a light they use that shows it the way it looks in the sun and it pops. I did the inserts for the fogs and the grille delete the same way. Should help with all the nardo grey.

I have been considering getting turn signals like that myself. On some cars I like them, some I don't but your look cool.
