Well, I am officially a tuner away from being able to drive it.

All the fluids are full, all lines are run, all cables attached. I need to bolt the hood on, but Im waiting for a second set of hands. I also installed the OEM bed cover I picked up.

G, You'll notice 1 sticker missing from the rear window... I bugged bossman, but he hasn't returned my pm.

Busted! I'm in it, I promise! I'll bring it with me to the BBQ, for an official christening of the revived beast

I bet there are quite a few Mustangs that you could crown the mirrors of in that overtired, overtorqued beast.

Best part of the first video, right at the end "Awesome"

Watch for the red blur at the 7 second mark in the second video
