I put on about 300 or so with the Mustang.. Took it down to McClellandtown then had it up in Butler to see the girlfriend at school for a bit.. Now its washed and cozy in the garage. Gotta get the new wheels an an inspection on it here soon. Speaking of which I better call tomorrow to schedule that..

Awesome car! Love the 13+ 5.0s!

Thanks for the kind words folks.

Time to try loading photos again...

Stock she sits a little high - but the ride is great and handling is really good with the Track Pack setup - at least for now. I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet on struts springs and HD strut mounts $$$.

Exhaust...on the other hand...

If your on a budget just do the Pro-Kit like I did. Car rides and handles fine but has the nice stance/lowered looks, no need to do anything else if funds don't permit or you don't want to spend the money.

Haha yessir! That was after the ride home from the dealership.

Had to park around the side - it was a late lunch so the lot was nearly empty.

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. From what I'm reading lately, the Koni Sport Shocks/Struts with Steeda Sport springs and HD strut mounts are the best all around setup, and down the road I might go that route. But for now I'm just enjoying the car and not pushing it too hard ( yet ).

Exhaust needs to be the first mod. But I'm not tipping my hand until I'm ready to pull the trigger.

Congrads on the car Ron, you waited long enough for her so enjoy her. Don't keep her pinned in the garage like your other baby.

I hear ya buddy. The '66 is buried behind Dad's '57 Bird in his building these days. Hard to find time to enjoy her much. But the '14 sure is a hoot so far. If I can get some projects done at home ( and get them out of the garage ) I'll be able to keep them both at home and use the '66 a little more.
