What have you done to your mustang today?

[UltraKla$$ic]

Put it in the garage and hooked up the battery tender.

I know the feeling.

Stupid question but I gotta ask - what amount of time should pass before I decide to hook up a battery tender? 2 weeks? 3 weeks? I never winterize my cars since I drive them year round as long as no snow on ground, but obviously i go up to 3 weeks or a month without driving them sometimes. I never know what amount of time should pass before I should put a tender on it to maintain the battery.

Well, you asked the right guy as he would know!

 

[weather man]

I only leave my tender on for a day or until battery charged. I don't like leaving the tender on all the time. I hit it about once a month. Just seen to many sheds burned down.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Batteries lose their charge exponentially after about a week of inactivity.

Look what Lito has gotten me into!!! Getting rid of all the un-necessary wiring in the body/chassis harnesses since my car is going to be drag only from now on.

Just pulled them from the car and it's time to start un-wrapping them all.

 

[95ragtop]

That looks like a nightmare. What do you plan on deleting?

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Dysan i just took an advanced electrical class and we had to do that to a machine harness. All i can say is fuck that!!! lol. Good luck man.

 

[skwerl]

Fuck that. I'd rather leave the extra 5 lbs of wires in the car. Cut off the plugs and trim the wires back to the harness bundle, yes. Remove and unwrap the harnesses to remove unused wires, no way.

 

[Ray721]

I gave mine a pat on the bum as I walked past it in the garage today...fuckin winter.

 

[dysan]

These 3 harnesses weigh approx 24lbs and I'm hoping it will weigh under 10 when I'm done. Every pound counts at this point since I'm trying to have my car running 10.0 with just 9lbs of boost.

That looks like a nightmare. What do you plan on deleting?

No more smart junction box, no turn signals or parking lights, only low beam headlights and basic tail lights operated with a toggle switch. Only thing that will function in my gauge cluster will be the tach. Heater/AC core gone along with the blower fan and all the duct work behind the dash. Windows and door locks will operate just using an old fashion window switch and I will be wiring the windows to work in tandem with just a single switch. Alarm sensor wiring will be removed...horn removed, windshield wipers and motor gone...

I'm going full retard!

If it wasn't for Lito I wouldn't be attempting this. Thanks.

I was thinking the same way but said what the hell.

I use a batt tender because I can just hook it up and leave it. I've left the car sit as long as 2 months before with out hooking it up and started no proble. I just like the tender because it monitors the battery and trickle charges as needed. I do the same with my motorcycle and seems to work well.

Don't get me started on body harnesses. They are not fun, especially when pulling the evap box out to get to it.

Exactly, I hadn't gotten that far when I took that photo.
