Arrow What's on the Winter to do list for your Mustang?

It's time to start planning for the spring, so I'll start with what I have planned to do or acquire over the winter.

- parts to rebuild rear end
- paint the underside
- colour match the mirrors to body
- change interior gauge setup
- relocate shift light

That's about it for now, but other things will most likely be added as I go

Install seat covers front and back on the GT.
Change out the a/c control *****.
Install billet fuel door.
Polish out swirl marks on hood.

Installed the plug & play sequential taillight kit from AM a few weeks ago.

The only other thing to do is drive it in the beautiful Arizona sunshine before it likely makes it's journey back to Alberta in the spring and becomes a winter garage queen up here again.

Well my car is due between 12-18th of dec. So besides going nuts
(Apocalypse pony no pun intended) Because I can't drive it.
I am researching expel as a paint protection, maybe tint windows and
likely hood struts, that will be the only Mods this car is likely to ever see

Don't get too excited, right now the only way it's going to appear in the driveway is if I steal it, or Santa Claus hears what a good boy I've been all year. lol I'm looking into it though, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. This would be a retirement keeper car, probably have to delay retirement just to pay for it. lol

Pun away, man I'm excited for you, can't wait for you to take delivery!! Tinted windows are a must, every vehicle I've ever had I got the windows tinted, protects the interior. I'd od lots and lots of a good quality wax for paint protection, never heard of this expel.

Getting a 4 post hoist for storage and working/cleaning the Boss. Also it essentially makes my garage a 3 bay so that I can keep my 1975 GMC truck with us all year instead of storing it in the winter off site.

As far as mods to the Boss, going to add the tail light sequencer, red line hood sruts, paint my spare strut tower brace Race Red and stripe it to match the Boss hood stripes on the cente of the arch, Laguna Seca trans cooler, one piece drive shaft and make sure its ready for a track day at Mosport in May 2016.

Did the gears this year. Transmission build last year.

This winter...maybe wheels and tires. More boost would be nice, but probably not in the cards this year.
