The back side needs help, too
A cloth or sponge isn’t enough to clean the back side of your wheels where they meet the hubs. Once the wheels are removed, consider the Mueller Kueps Inner Rim Cleaner to do the best job possible. The device has a base unit and a cleaning disc that attaches with Velcro — for easy cleaning and replacement — and works with either cordless or air drills. The company says this type of scouring is also important to maintain accurate wheel balance. Get full details at www. mueller-kueps.com and purchase for $70 at www.amazon.com.

No more rotten bodies

Back-seat delete
Hey there Mustang owners, when was the last time you had more than yourself and a passenger out for a ride? If the answer is hardly ever, why not consider lightening the load by removing the rear bench seat and replacing it with a hand-laid fiberglass or carbon fiber Rear Seat Delete kit from TruFiber. This is also a good idea if you use your ’Stang on the race track and/ or are installing a roll bar. All of the mounting holes have been pre-drilled for easy installation and the one-piece panel can be painted or left in its natural state. The fiberglass Rear Seat Delete kit sells for $160, while the carbon-fiber version sells for $700. Note that TruFiber also makes this product for other models, including the Chevrolet Camaro.
