Hey everyone, my name's Adam and I'm from Chesapeake. I've been in the club this year, snooped around the forums some, and have finally made an account so I can post/comment some. I'm currently a sophomore going for a BS in Engineering, a BS in Applied Physics, a minor in Math, a minor in Robotics (70% sure), and a minor in Astronomy (80% sure).
So, about the Mustang. My parents surprised me with the Mustang after one of my heart/chest surgeries that I had when I was 16. They had bought it from a friend who was going away to college since he wanted something better on gas. My dad and I have done work on it since, including stuff like dual exhaust, Flowmasters, higher heat rating parts under the hood (ex: coil pack), SR cold air intake, etc. Also, my dad did the paint job it (he's done paint jobs since he was my age).
So, nothing too major really except for my audio system. Throughout last year, I did work on the audio by upgrading each of the Mach 460 mid range speakers, tweeters, and amps. I installed 2 10" Kickers in the rear shelf and 2 12" Kickers in the trunk. Currently, the car has 4 amps and 12 speakers in total. As of now I'm certainly content with it, but I may end up installing 2 more Kickers into the sides of the trunk since my dad has some sitting around in our garage. Also, I'm going to add a 5 farad capacitor this summer that I have waiting back at home.
I've been looking into maybe restoring a 71 Mach 1 with my dad. If we end up doing that, I'll probably sell my car and daily the 71 (I know, dailying a 71 brings issues, but to me it would be worth it). So hopefully, in the near-ish future, I'll have to create a separate thread about that project!
