After owning 7 different Mustangs over the years (3 currently), I finally got my hands on a 5.0 when my factory ordered Sterling Gray/Brick Red '14 GT arrived to Sam Pack in Lewisville a few weeks ago. Ticked off just about every box (Track, Comfort, and Electronics Packages, rear camera, glass roof).

Not many mods planned for the near future, but so far I've managed to delete the sound tube, paint the coil covers blue, and upload a custom image for the nav screen. I also have hood struts on the way, and plan to order the Ford Racing Procal package (GT500 mufflers, filter, Procal tune) within the next week or so!

Only issue so far is a distorted windshield (which will hopefully be replaced)- otherwise, I'm enjoying having a bit more power in this one (compared to my '65- which has the little 200 inline six).

Welcome, how do you upload an image to the nav screen?

That '65! :drool:

Welcome man! Definitely went all out. Haha

I really want to see a glass roof car in person to see if I regret not getting it.

Thanks for the welcome (GTRacerX, Racer X was my favorite character on Speed Racer)!

You can load an image that will replace the FORD logo when the nav screen is in the "home" page. You have to format the image as a .jpg then burn it onto a CD-ROM disc (unfortunately, loading from a USB drive doesn't seem to work).

Go to the home screen, get the FORD logo to display, then touch the screen on the logo. It will bring up an option to edit or add images. Then, load the disc (sometimes you have to hit "ADD" a second time for it to find the images on the disc). You can load up to 32 images.

You only get to use the left side of the screen- and not even the entire height of the display. After tinkering around a bit with Photoshop, this is what I came up with for my screen...

What width and height is that image? I'd like to do this for my mom's Expy.

I searched and searched, but could not find the exact "native size" of the image. However, through trial and error it seems 850x522 pixels. You cen "edit" the image when loading it (which seems to stretch the image horizontally if necessary if the image wxh ratio is too small).

Thanks again- the glass roof is one of my favorite features!

If you're in Corinth, you might want to swing by the Sonics on Swisher (next to WalMart) some Wednesday evening. Some of the local younger guys meet there each week for a club called Denton County Stangs.

My 18 year old likes to take our '03 vert out there, and occasionally I take the '65 or now the '14 out when I want a shake.
