There you have it. Roof and all.

I like the look of the graphics on the car except for the hood. You need that MOTORCRAFT and FORD logo across the hood. Maybe i'm old but that's how I relate to the wood brothers car.
What's the reason for 121 in stead of 21.
Good luck with your need ride!

Dan Gurney who is one of my Racing and engineering idols drove Wood Brothers Fords #121 to victory 4 out of 5 starts at Riverside CA. The car pictured above was in 1968 and he came back from 25 seconds behind Parnelli Jones to win on the last lap. Dan passed away in January and all the Fords at Daytona had decals honoring him. I decided to do the whole car in his honor.

Classy tribute, Steve.

I probably watched one of those races but it was probably 1970. Was there in 71 for the Can Am race. Cool stuff to watch as a kid. Crazy having those old tires instead of curbing.

Check out Steve's car on the TMO FB page.

Stop-Tech or Girodisc front rotors, Steve?

congrats on the car and getting the wing on. Don't think I have ever seen one on an 18.

I also just learned that a lot of the PP2 cars are hard to come by, and they are all built out until 2019. Cant even order one

Thanks for the kind words, wing looks and performs very well, my understanding was they are going to limit the number of builds and only build when weather is temperate, like the 350R cars because of the tires.

How'd Mid Ohio go? Thoughts on the car, times, etc? I was going to stop by but I got a late start to the day and couldn't make the time.

Steve, did the front splitter have the part number on the package and did you take any pics of it pre-install and do you have any pics of it from the bottom of the car post install?

Another minor enhancement done this morning.


More complicated than it needs to be but worth the knee room and feel of the Alcantara.

Sorry I have picture of the splitter in the package in the car but no part number. I think it is out there on Mustang6g.com.
There is an under tray pic.

Looks good. The steering wheel wasn't a direct swap?

No Airbag is totally different mounting pattern and horn connector is different between the airbags. Had to get a ‘15-17 airbag, swap the wheel harness from the ‘18 and take the horn connector from the old harness and solder it onto the ‘18 wiring. Fits perfectly now and all works.

Good to know. Hopefully others that are considering adding the R steering wheel to a 2018 read your post first.

Thanks Steve. Clear that Ford did that in a tunnel.

Probably changed airbag vendors. There were quite a few structural differences on the new airbag.
