time to get the mustang out for the 2013 season
Hi Mustang owner
it that time of year just wont to remind that we here at Maine Mustang can handle all your needed like tune up, oil changes or any of your repair needed so you can enjoy the warm weather and feel safe know that your car is ready to go
Don’t Get Mad
Don’t get mad at me, when it cost you so much money to fix you car right because you had taken your car to a cheap bondo and paint body shop to do your work on your car when it should of been taken to a restoration shop. Now the car is all shiny looking but all the mechanical s are done wrong and you can’t enjoy your car because they don’t really know what they where doing and ended up using this and that or whatever they could find to put it back together or just leave it apart. Telling you that it is not their job to do that and they now have thrown out parts that they didn’t think was going to need again.
So now you got to have the car taken to someone that has to go over the whole car to see what is assembled wrong and what is correct. So you end up paying twice as much to get your car done then if it had been taken to a restoration shop to start with and had the job done right the first time.

make a better firewall pad
how to make a that aftermarket made firewall look more like the factory one
first cut pad
remove the black rubber save the jade padding
now jet three can of Napa 4004 stone guard and applied to the top in coat let each coat dry before doing next one
will take three to four coat but when done it will look like this( do remove all punch out needing removal before spraying)
now you have a pad that has the same type of sprayed on textured look as the factory pad did
some pic of pad installed
