Guest Guest Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Just got done washing her after a long trip. Couldn't resist taking a few pictures. Here's one to start us off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Look'n sharp there Dave. Akin to a distant relative of my SHO. An early incarnation of mine when I first started out down the modding path. Keep up the great work my pal from North of the "Cheddar Curtain".

Guest Guest Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Here is my engine compartment with Livernois Windstorm and noisemaker delete. I also have the BOV's VTA. (I usually run with the cover off during the summer.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I wish the MKS had a cool dust cover like the SHO. Ours is just plain with Ecoboost embossed in black. So I did this LINCOLN badge addition (but still wish it was more like the SHO cover). I liked it at first but now am questioning whether it is tacky.: : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 And while I am posting photos... I added some real wood to the center console a while back. The steering wheel, dash, and door wood is factory. Here is before: Here is the after photo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Nice job on the console! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Thanks all - not usually a fan of tacking on wood - but the center console black is a large area and the tactile feel of the plastic there leaves something to be desired. The rest of the MKS interior is pretty good quality feel materials (substantial/padded/etc). That area though, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not really a great big deal, however, I decided (albeit at last minute) to participate in my local community's "car show / cruising" event tonight. No awards or anything, and there's no judging or any entry fee(s). It's basically if you have a cool car, show up, and enjoy the atmosphere. Simple as that. The community puts on this event each Monday (weather contingent of course) and I figured hey what the hell..... They had pretty decent food from local restaurant's, as well beer/wine/pop/refreshments/etc., along with a fairly decent 80's cover band which was a pleasure to listen to. Didn't capture really any images outside of my car alone, however, everyone in attendance seemed to gravitate around my car exclusively. Many fellow car enthusiast's and entrants alike, were astounded at my SHO and were very complimentary of it's performance, appearance, and just overall "wow" factor. It was a pleasure to speak with (and I'll use this term loosely) "older" folk, who harkened back to their days in driving a Ford Taurus (SHO, or otherwise). A lot of the younger teens and twenty something's, also were drawn to the car, and were more tech oriented than the "elder" generation when it came to inquiring about the car's capabilities. Anyhow, enough babbling..... because there was a threat of rain, I opted NOT to bust out all the carpeting and the electric converter box to keep the car powered up on regular household current, however, I did decide to break out a FEW of the related display materials..... as such, here's a few pics: Was lot's of fun and more enjoyable than what one would consider a "customary" car show, as in tonight's event, there was no judging, or awards, or anything of the like, therefore I think that lifted the burden on a lot of the car entrants, as they didn't really feel pressured so to speak, to make their car as impeccably clean and what not, as one normally would where awards are involved. Hope y'all enjoyed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
