Thanks for sharing that pic. When I was looking at getting 17 inch wheels, I was reading about the fenders and fitment issues. Hoping I won't run into that with the 16 inch wheels.Those will look awesome on the car. Just be careful about tire size. When the 16" Pony wheels arrived Ford changed the front fenders and changed the size of the front opening a bit for clearance.

I did a little bit of vacuuming but that's about it, lol.You could have done that with out removing the console. I've done it a couple times. Pain in the ass, but doable. On the bright side, now is a great time to really scrub and vacuum that carpet with everything out of the way. LOL
I did. I finally got it installed and the interior put back together and I've driven it a few times the last few days. I love driving it even more with the new shifter.Did you drive it yet? Shifter makes a notable difference on these cars.
Heat gun finally arrived..along with some other random stuff. On Friday evening, something else arrived. Our foster dog, Lady, gave birth to one puppy at our house and then was having trouble delivering the next one. We ended up having to take her to the clinic and she got an emergency c-section. An little over an hour later we were driving home with Lady and six tiny puppies. Hell of a Friday, lol.
Once things settled down, I managed to get some garage time. Took advantage of the heat gun and started removing the body molding stripe.
I need to look a little bit closer but it seems like the stripe on the door moldings is possibly a different material or might even be painted on. I didn't want to melt the door moldings so I didn't mess with those much longer while removing the rest of the stripe around the car. I also got the front driver side wheel off again and started doing some more work on the rust. I need some spray bottles for the degreaser and metal treatment from the POR-15 kit. I had initially ordered them from Chemical Guys but the order got cancelled due to lack of inventory. Fortunately I was able to pick up a couple of alternatives with my grocery pick-up at Wal-Mart today. Hopefully these will work fine and I can get at least one side of the apron done with POR-15.
On the alternator power cable situation, I finally just sucked it up and ordered the SR performance cable which already has the 200 amp in-line fuse. I figured between everything else I'd need to order to do it myself, I'd only be saving 15 bucks and at least with this kit I have everything already put together. That should be here in a day or two.
Anyways, I got a new video up documenting some of these things.
Thank you!Nice work Dude!
That stripe in the doors is not a sticker like the rest of the car. As I remember on mine it was a hard plastic piece that was part of the mounding. I think I still have the stripes for the front bumper. Anyway your stang is looking good!

Thank you! Haven't been driving the Fox as much lately because of the snow but the few times I've driven it has confirmed that I really enjoy that shifter.Nice work on the shifter install, the boot and knob look really sharp!
Man....I failed to make that happen. I don't even have a good excuse. I'll definitely try to take advantage of the opportunity next time, lol.Make a video drifting the fox in the snow!
