Something's been a secret because my new workout and work has been running me ragged, mixed with trying to keep the Mustang's important projects in line- and I don't want to talk about it before it's done. It's not amazing or groundbreaking, but I'm excited about it. It will one day be ready!
The underbody has failed. The issue is mounting with the hose clamps. They are not strong enough for the suspension to travel. This is the issue with using one piece for the center and rear. It now shakes and rattles violently past 53 mph, so I go 50 to minimize the disruption when cars pass.
This build will not be in vain. I will continue to use the frame, and use some of the sheet metal. I will make the center portion aluminum, and the sides polycarbonate. This will let me reuse all of my materials, and not need anything new.
So, a 4x4 rear portion. This will make a great base for my diffuser. The center 4x6 will be 1x6 AS, 1.5x6 PC, and 1.5x6 PC, in the frame. I will resume my use of cable ties for this, but will be using a LOT of cable ties.
I have made the leap to LEDs for my taillights- but it is still in progress.
So far:
This is still in progress because I need a taillight pigtail. Since I now know the correct part, my search is now for:
I also finally received my data logger. Since the Mustang is not doing much and has 150-250 miles left (quarter tank), I am going to put it in the Insight for a while. A review will be up shortly- from getting my hands on the product, I am really ecstatic about it, and even more the price- but I don't want to jump to conclusions on it.
