No Shift Kit

I decided today to get the mustang out of it's winter slumber.  Sure, I still have the front seats to do, but I won't be getting to them in the next couple of weeks so I went ahead and put the front seats back in.  It is just too nice of a day to keep it in the garage, plus I have taken a couple of days off work to do the seats once this semester is done at school.

Time to wake up!

Stereo Install

Well it is officially spring and I have yet to finish any of my winter projects.  I tried really hard to have the JVC work as a trick head unit hid in the glovebox while keeping the stock AM radio in the center console.  I tried to mimic what this guy did with his head unit, but I could not get the JVC unit to fit, it was just too big.  So I did the next best thing and installed it in the truck!

Well it was back to the drawing board with the stereo and I did some more research.  I found the RetroSound Model II stereo and thought I would give it a try.  It is a pretty cool idea to me, a retro looking stereo with all modern functions.  I especially like the Bluetooth streaming that works well with my Android phone.  CJ Pony Parts was having a 30% off sale in March so I picked one of these up.  I also used their nice installation video to get an idea of how to install the stereo:
