Have fun brother!
Unfortunately I've gotten way to good at it.
Me too brother, replaced my 5th one right before the cobra hit hit lol.
Lol. I think we're about even. Having the aftermarket K member helps a lot.
Man I bought new wheels for my cobra and now the new mustang drops. And I like the damn car.

The top wasn’t going up without manual help so figured it out (thanks YouTube) and replaced the hydraulic lift cylinders. Then bled the system. Getting that fill plug back in the top motor was a bitch! Ultimately jamming the plug in with the handle of one of the kids’ paintbrushes was the trick. The plug has to stretch enough to fit in the opening. Up and down like a charm now.

I think I might have lost a tool or two due to throwing them in anger figuring out how to do this install. I still have a bolt I didn’t put in I think
It's definitely one of those installs where you need to know the process and angles.
The alternator is in and working ok. I think painting the bracket was a bad idea though.
I had to remove my sway bar mounts to get that damn thing in. Old one came out ok, but the size difference I could not for the life of me get it in. Just saved some foul language for later and undid the sway bar mounts. Works great though!

Congratulations! That's a serious piece of hardware. Love the wheel choice!
What's the decal on the corner of the windshield, passenger side? I can't make it out.
How you like those side spilters? How was the install
Finally swapped out headunits on Saturday. Nothing too fancy. GF got it for me for Christmas and I found some ambition. I tore out all the Mach junk two years ago and installed a 5-channel amp in the back. Ran new speaker wires and all that. Here I was splicing and dicing the harness into the factory speaker wires. Derrrr... Edit: At least I had only connected one of them when I realized I was doing excess work. lol

congrats - a couple of months ago i did something similar repair. the top had developed a rough, jerking motion and the motor wasn't running well at all and it seemed to be getting progressively worse over the last couple of years. so i checked the level and sure enough, it was very low - probably because it had been slowly weeping from the cylinders over time. i filled the fluid up to the top and it really did the trick - now it goes up and down like new again. and you're right about that fill plug, that thing is a tight fit!

Install was easy. Had to drill through side skirt bottom. Love the look though. Money well spent
