Magnum 500 wheels need to be lug-centric balanced, nut hub centered.  Very few tire places have that capability.
Bad u-joint, incorrect driveshaft to tranny/rear end angles can also cause vibrations.

Bots are hitting the site and causing the issues.  I am working with tech support still to try and fix it.  I thought it was already resolved.  There is another issue with upgrading the forum software I need to take care of but it currently crashes the entire forum so I am unwilling to do so until I have ample time to devote to it.  I am hoping to have the bot issue resolved by the end of the week.
Just a little update for you guys.  Bandwidth upgrade would only be a bandaid and not a full solution, so do not feel obligated to donate any more money.  And thanks for your donations so far that should cover the monthly losses for the remainder of the year.

I pulled mine out of where it's sat in my parent's garage since 1998, and brought it to my house. It's not back inside yet, but since the neighbor's son set a fire that spread to the garage I wanted to get the 2 project cars recovered out of it ASAP, in case the roof and attic (where the fire was concentrated) decided to collapse. I need to condense my 12 year old's CJ7 project to make room in my toy shop for it. My dad's Model A project and small parts from both cars are currently filling our attached garage too...

I posted pics of my wiring and folks pointed out I had the LHS reverse light run thru the floor improperly.  I found out where it should be routed and fixed it!

Had a surprising weekend with my stang 'Penny' guys.  I had signed up for the Keels & Wheels "Concourse de' Elegance" show in Seabrook, TX.  Ive been twice before (last before covid), but this show is full of amazing vehicles, and I have been happy they let me even show.  
Well, I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to "up my game" in a short amount of time, and I noticed that the trunk was 10pts of the score.  I've never liked the stock treatment and said I wouldn't do it, but I never seem to get around to "doing it right" like I said I would.  So, to try to improve my score I bought the stock trunk liner, jack bag, and spare-tire cover.  Spent a little bit of time laying it in there, and trying to make it look decent.  Came out like this:

All I had to say was: "Well, it certainly looks better than nothing/what I had".  So I went with it.

The surprise came when I checked the judges sheet Sunday afternoon:  "Best in Class"!!  Unbelievable!
I've only put the car in maybe a half-dozen shows, and I've never done better than second place anywhere.  But the real surprise is that the show in Seabrook is one of the more prestigious shows (at least around here).  
It rained on Saturday, but didn't take any sunshine out of the day for me.  Aaron Shelby was here, and gave me a big "congrats" when I left the show - certainly an amazing day for me:

Well, sure enough, I had my harness routed improperly.  I never knew about that routing hole in the left side pocket- but it’s in the exact right place.  So I fixed it thanks to everyone. And No, that reverse light harness is never near either exhaust line line I mentioned.
Per the dual exhaust- I never knew there was a transverse muffler option.  I pulled the original crappy exhaust manifolds and single line I had and put cast iron headers with 2 separate 2.25 exhaust lines on each side with h-pipe.
thanks Mike for asking the question- I’m getting more out of this than I put in!

Sorry about that, my son still hasn't gotten around to looking at that. For some reason he puts his work before mine- the nerve of him!
Here is a shot of the wire routing using the snipping tool. I show the Cougar version first because it is the only page that has the fuel sender wire that Mid mentions in the post above:
Cougar 2-E14 interior lights, clock, cigar lighter, but shows fuel sender wire

Mustang 2-E22 exterior lights, clock, cigar lighter. No fuel sender wire shown

I was worried that the wire could get chafed and start a fire as it does not have a grommet for the hole you used on trunk floor.

Jay, is that the reverse light wire going through the hole above frame rail on this picture? There should not be any wires going through that hole, reverse light wires goes out through holes towards the back bottom of trunk drop off.

Looking good there Mike.  I coated the interior of mine with black rattle can truckbed liner.  Stuff is as hard as nails and has a nice mottled finish to hide a lot of the metal unevenness.  YMMV…

From up over the left wheel:
left tail light:


 
gas gauge routing:

 
note I have spliced in a gas gauge calibration device here.  It’s in the 3d printed box I made for it there. It’s held down by one of the tank bolts. The wood is there to kind of even up the floor for the vinyl

 
this is the running of the tail light harness from the left side headed over to the right side.

Hope these help some!!
 

If the clip is in correct it locks into the molding  ,the spring is a preload to keep the clip in place while tightening ,i sometimes bend the spring to keep it a bit tighter if the clip feels to loose in the molding ,now when tightening the clip is turning into the channel at top and bottom and shouldnt be able to come out 

Cleaned out the trunk from when we moved the Mustang to Virginia & started to work on the wiring in the trunk.
@JayEstes your Coupe looks great.

@JayEstes Love the GT style stripe.  Beautiful car.

Congratulations Jay! Your 69 looks sharp. 

Congrats! Great looking car, love the paint
