* Power Wheels Mustang Make-Over *
So my daughter has a Barbie (Pink) mustang that I got her about 3 years ago.
This thing has been beat, banged, scratched, faded, repainted, faded-again, and paint was chipping off. The hub caps were no longer chrome and the decal kit inside was faded and peeling off. So I decided that I needed to "modify" her mustang to be more like mom & dad's. LOL BODY MODS = 1. So I decided to have the body stripped, then sanded, primed, and painted base coat & clear coat. Shout out to Chad @ Automotive Transformations in Angier! He takes care of all my stuff! 2. I then figured that the Super Snake center stripe would look good, so I got the carbon-fiber decal and put it on. 3. Next I decided the white interior had to go. What does every Mustang owner want? Answer is Black interior! So I changed it all to black! 4. I figured the dingy gray windshield looked bad, so I tinted it black also! Haha! DRIVETRAIN MODS = 1. She cannot have a plastic shifter in a nice car like this! I made a custom shifter handle (bolt from Home Depot) and put my Hurst Quarter Stick ball on it. 2. Next I figured it needed a shifter boot, so I cut a piece of black Suede and put it on! 3. If Shelby folks can upgrade their superchargers for more power, then I figured adding another battery would BOOST the output of this one as well! I added a 6 volt battery in series with the existing 12 volt battery. Now it has a 18 volt system that runs fast! 4. New "Super Snake type" wheel covers were ordered and put on! Got the bling-bling back! Haha. WIRING MODS = 1. I decided that this car needed lights so my kid could ride at night. I added 1 Watt LED spot lights on the front. I had to drill out the chrome reflector bezel to fit around the lights, but it looks natural. 2. I then added Red LED strips to be the rear tail lights. 3. Next I added a Red LED strip under the dash to have Ambient lighting. 4. I put a fuse block and a terminal strip under the dash on the firewall that ties all my connections together. 5. I gutted the fake plastic radio and installed lighted-switches into it with a custom wiring harness and quick disconnect I made. One switch is for the lights. The 2nd switch is for the Ipod Bluetooth Speaker setup. 6. Finally I added a master kill-switch on the dash (red toggle). It kills power to the entire car. Any way, here's some pictures. She got it tonight and had a ball doing burnouts & doughnuts in the subdivision! LOL! Video coming soon. Ryan |
