What did you get done on your Stang today????

Pulled the cover off the stang today to check on it. It seems we have a critter in the garage.

I found a little pile of bird seed under the back seat. Last week I noticed a bag of seed that has been in our garage for years was chewed into and seed was all over the floor. Went on a hunt and found a little pile of insulation and seed next to the wall by the mustang. So I figured I better check out the car. And sure enough the little bastard carry some seed up under the seat. No damage found yet.

So anyone have any advice on how to catch the thing? I put out some snap traps with peanut butter and they didn't work. He just licked them clean. I can't have this creature living in the car for the winter.
 
Uh.....I oiled my muffler bearings and rotated the air in my tires today to get ready for MITM this weekend.

Actually just checked the air pressure, oil and coolant levels. The green turn is behaving way too well for me.

Sticky (glue) traps. I use them every year staring about this time. Kinda funny timing because I just found a pile of bird seed in the garage myself. Chewed through the bag just like yours did. Time to bring that stuff inside the house.
 
Google bucket mouse trap... I came upon the idea when I found a dead mouse in a small bucket of water that that was next to the foundation ledge in my garage. He must have fallen in walking by. Looked online and made one using a 5 gallon bucket. Caught 4 in 2 days.
 
It's been perfect weather lately for starting to spray things so I need to get my butt in gear. So I made some more purchases towards getting the car finished. Yesterday I ordered a gallon of epoxy primer and activator from SPI. This is the second order I've placed with SPI. I just gotta say their customer service is second to none. I ordered it yesterdayafternoon and it was on my door step today! What was even better was the fact it was a few dollars cheaper than what I had planned for (based on their web price sheet), and there were no additional shipping charges! I hope to get the last few bits cleaned up this coming weekend in order to start priming a few areas. Next weekend nothing will get done on it. It'll be MBB time then! :thu

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I made the bucket trap and misc glue and snap traps. Apparently it scared him to death. My little girl and wife found him rolled over on the floor today while I was at work.

Started to the Coker Tire car show in Chattanooga in the Vert. about 30 miles out of Chattanooga the generator light started to turn red. Decided to turn around and go back home. As long as I stayed 70 and above the generator put out enough charge to make it home.
 
Finished up the new engine install and put the car back together.

Nothing. I had to travel 85 miles each way to take a 4 hour test to become a Certified Reliability Engineer; this test comes around only once a year and it fell on the weekend of the MBB. Can you say PO'ed?
 
I finally finished installing all new brake lines on my SN95 Mustang! It had been languishing in the garage taking up precious space I need to work on the 68 to finish my suspension overhaul. It was my first attempt with bending and flaring brake lines, and I must say the job was a PIA! The car is lowered substantially and it's just very cramped underneath, made it tough. However, I am very proud that when all was said and done, I got it right the first time. NO LEAKS!

Installed some bling!

The new EMS billet hinges.

Strikers came from Mustangs Plus.

The hinges are EMS and seem to open as far as originals They are very stout! All moving points have sealed ball bearings. Very nice piece although they should be for the price!
 
Got my rebuilt generator back and installed on thew 64 1/2. Ready for a 75 mile ride tomorrow. Hope it warms up a little so SWMBO will let us use it as a vert.
