What have you done to your mustang today?

[jas2234]

That looks awesome! More pics when you get it finished

Will do. I figured I would finish the exterior first the next to do is air ride then build the motor.

Traded in my 2015 GT for a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack with the auto. Love this car so much more than the GT.

Challengers would be perfect if they made it in a 7/8 scale version. The whole car seems SO big. They look good though.

Thought about selling it.... doesn't see much time outside its spot in the shop these days!

They are big and weigh approx 4200lbs.. However I'll give credit to mopar for nailing it on the Challenger's retro styling..

I kinda thought Ford started the whole retro look with the 2005 Mustang.
I know that when I first saw a 2005 Mustang there was love at first sight and I knew I'd own a Mustang soon.
Took me 7 more years before I finally got one, in August '12, but I got one.

You're right, Gabe. I guess it made it seem like I was saying the Challenger started it. Obviously, the Mustang did. There was no Camaro or Challenger until the 05 S197 started the craze. I think the whole retro thing started with the New Beetle, then the Mini Cooper, then Ford re-ignited the muscle car. What I meant was, I was drawn to the Mustang by the first S197. Now it seems the Mustang and the Camaro are moving away from the retro-theme, which is fine. The Challenger has still retained the nostalgic look, keeping that cool styling alive.

I'm so old I remember clearly when Chrysler tried peddling a cheap rebadged Mitsubishi as a Challenger. The retro thing was so obvious, my buddy in high school (mid 70's) had a 73 Challenger 340 4 barrel 4 speed car. I think we spent more time sideways boiling the tires in that car than going straight ahead. I don't think it's humanly possible to get into an old Challenger with a Hurst pistol grip shifter and act responsibly. We have been saying since 1980, "why doesn't Dodge just make a current Challenger with urethane bumpers, but keep the basic shape of the Challenger with a real American V8?" Ford and Chevy still did the Mustang and the Camaro (although there were quite a few years neither were barely worth owning).

That makes me think back to my mom's '78 Mustang II. <shudder>

Changed the MT82 trans fluid this morning, and glad I did. Quite a bit of metallic shavings in the old fluid, which was in there for about 26-27k miles, and was put in at 10k miles on the car:

Ford re-ignited the muscle car

Ford re-ignited the pony car wars between the Mustang, Challenger and Camaro.. Neither were ever designated by Ford, GM and Mopar as muscle cars, but as pony cars due to their size platform..

Is that the sticker you're looking for?

 

[Gabe]

That's a big box for just that little sticker

The car goes in Friday for the air bag recall. Glad to get that done.

Got a notice from Ford that my dealer had parts in for my airbag recall. I was about to schedule an appointment when I looked and saw the notice was for my 11 GT that I traded 4 years ago, not my 13.
