MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

This is my 2007 Shelby GT500 “Grabber” and it is one of 13 stripe delete cars built in Grabber Orange in 2007.

This Mustang is equipped with Eibach Multi-Pro R2 coilovers, Maximum camber plates, UMI - UCA / LcA - on car adjustable poly-roto joints, Fays2 watts link, painted rear end, AFCO twin 10” fan intercooler, FP Blue valve covers, billeted coil covers, Hose Candy carbon/kevlar hose covers and boa clamp hose clamps (no metal hose clamps), Shelby Baer Racing brakes front and rear, Forgestar F14 wheels, full carbon fiber splitter/rockers/diffuser by Raceskinz, 2013/14 Lighted sill plates - plug and play integrated by me (no splicing), and 2013/14 Recaro seats (powered). All built and wiring converted by me to fit 2007-09. Plug and play integrated by me (no splicing).

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no.

I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

I researched and found all the factory connectors and using the factory diagrams used correct wiring color and hand laced it into the factory wiring harness through the firewall and to the fuse box. Just like it would be in a convertible from the factory.

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in
