What would interest be if we made Swinks shifter overlay at a very reasonable price point of say $34.95 in metal - chromed with inlayed letters in say black or red?

This would be simple install....would come with double side tape factory cut 3m stuff.
Simply remove your shooter install the piece and reinstall shooter.

We could do a vote on which to make 4 speed or 5.

Be wear of shooters very addictive.
I like the quality and feel of metal better than plastic so the plates are metal cast then chromed with a back fill in color. 3m adhesive will be keeping them in place ...works perfectly with your stock housing.
Shooter rods will be up on my site in a weeks time...plates in March.

Have you guys seen my apron ?
I have a few blacks left - not on the site but would build....if your more into the LE look rather than red plastic. The center emblem is a decal they gave out at the Charlotte Birthday party for Mustang last year.

The two inserts are the same commercial grade art inserts as my ACDC and Elvis LE aprons.
The upcoming Metallica LE apron will have the same type art work.

Shifter plates are scheduled to arrive 20th for those that are watching.
I had 4 protos made and they have all been sold.

Quick question for the mustang lovers.
What do you think about a white ball shooter no engraving which is 1 1/6 as compared to the normal 1 5/8 real shifter Hurst ball? The plain white ball seems almost too small.

I had a pinball size 1 1/16 3d printed...too small. 30mm thinking 45mm best.
Would be cast resin white with inlay like the Hurst...might just be best to do the Hurst.

Shooters now on site. Here is launch if ya missed it. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-mod-shifter-shooter-plate-hooked-on-pinball

Newest edition...Speedo testing

Mustangs and cows 009.JPG

Yep its the desk top dash that is sold online.
The Clock works 100% and the Humidity gauge as much as I can tell.
The speedo in stock form is a thermometer which is dull.
Lighting I added and interactive speedo I added to the other wise stock form.

I didnt want an octopus under the playfield so its just two connections and your done.
I was going to light up battery and ALT light with the start button but didnt want to complicate it further. There is only so much you can do and sell it as merchandise and be profitable. I could spend days on it and get it all working but they would not sell at that price.

Yes thats mine and I am waiting on my shipment of shooter shifters to arrive.
The plates are in stock on the site.
Hookedonpinball.com
Also on Cointaker.com Pinballdecals.com

One of these days I will up to a Prem or LE .

Frax - you talking about the upper ball "sneak in" skill shot.
Top of spin out just before bumpers.

Sold my Pro at Atlanta show...ordered my LE tonight

with the programming of color is it possible to fix the dots? The mustang emblems look more like dinosaurs in most of the animation.

dang ...cant wait to get my LE ...soon

Wow thought my score would stick through the show...not even close great job.

Mine lands lunch on Friday....cant wait to play the LE.
You need a tach mod

http://www.hookedonpinball.com/store/p13/Mustang_Mod_-_Tachometer.html

I had my pro...loved the art work. LE is just over the top great.
LE pictures didnt do it justice....working on this package of mods now.

Mustang_NO2_mod_017.jpg

What you cant see in the shots is the true metalic backing shinning through...best Le Art work I have seen.

Guy in GA on ebay had 5 boss last check and did have one used which he wanted the same amount for because it would be a pain to rebox lol.

I passed on a Boss for 6500 - LE gets more goodies standard for the money you can buy them at.
Stern has them boxed and in storage ready to ship.

I was playing too but in a different way...dressing up the LE today.
Made the shifter shooter install vid, installed the Tach mod, H2O bottles, pinblades and new flippers from Pinballlife.com.
The brush look flippers look almost white in the pictures but look fantastic on the machine.

Oh by the way I have playfield # 1

Curiosity....are you a pro pinball tables only or a fan of le? To me mods are lifting interaction not taking away much likenthe LE machines. Mods done the right way are an asset imo.

I owned a Pro for about a year....LE about a month.

I like the pop up targets and the cross over but bang for buck Pro wins.
Unless I am missing something the extras on the LE do not really add to the game much.
I just got the LE because its a keeper for me and I like the dress up stuff.

Guy on ebay on the boss versions if your cash and carry....still dont you have to buy a shaker for the boss?
Shaker- trim- and backbox flashers and lit speakers took me over to the LE from the boss version.

Those of you late to the party I have tachs in stock ready do ship.
Working on a boost gauge.

http://www.hookedonpinball.com/store/c7/Mustang.html

So a nitro boost gauge that the needle is in the green till boost shot is lit (full action when lit) would be a bad thing? Thats the theory on it as it is.

Ah ill just post a vid next week
Channel is hooked1989 and will post here in case you miss it.

That would be cool in vpin but we have to stay within reality on this one. Your a purest so mods are a no go right?

Woohoo whats in the boxes

Excellent ! Thanks for sharing.

I could not commit that the dash would fit the LE and Prem till I got one.
Now I know that the dash will clear the turn table without issue. I am totally sold out of the Dash but if you source them I can build them ...if I can find the dashes at a good price might run a few more for LE just to be fair.

Seriously thinking of doing the valve cover mod now...stay tuned.

Are the color dmds out yet? If so anyone have one to review?

GAP where did you get the speaker lights? My LE lights are just lacking.
I could mod it but would rather have plug and play lights there.

BTW - great looking game. Prem is my favorite playfield version of the three versions.

For the 1:64 fox body cars look up JL cars on ebay there are a lot of the hatch versions out now. You will have to mod the bases with spacers. I also put a boss hoss matchbox on my pro.

All you diehard Mustang fans....Valve covers are in the works and we are upping the displacement.
Testing on boost gauge is going well just waiting on art.
Fun stuff coming to the Hookedonpinball.com speed shop.

Ah that pesky boost gauge....just figured out how it will work off of the insert...took a while.
Art work stalled but its back on track now...it will happen ...oh yes it will...lol.

Valve covers will be a simple bolt on to scale and 351 logo'd but it will be Feb.

Mustangs and I go way back so this is a mod labor of love for me.
I believe Boost gauge will be the last run of mods for this title for me....Unless I can figure out that start switch mod .

Ha! no oil caps...cost a ton as it is lol....getting final art work tonight.
Figure Valve covers will hit end of month ...hoping same time as my first GoT mod.

Too much Nitro will do that to a motor...
I'll post a black and white of the gauge face this weekend or sooner if I can get it off my phone.

Face is colored. Will be back lit internal to match tach mod. It will be old school needle like tach mod. Black and white is just a working sample. Watch for valve covers too...powered by ford logo.

Trying to link

20160103_153247_(resized).jpg

Yes it will be cool / could be if I can get it right.

I think I will have to put a blue boss on my LE now...looks great!
Check these out... up next... Late Feb.

I just looked at the aftermarket valve covers and each had 4 notches so went with it. Actually I wanted to do just three across the bottom but changed last min.

My le has the custom song program installed. I noticed I have seem to have lost some songs...anyone else notice anything odd? For example there was a motley cru song...its now not.accessable.

Yes there were 4 in Georgia last I checked. Also the highest plaque I have seen is 118 well over the rumor of under 100.

Classic gamerooms. He has them listed on ebay. He had one open box a few months back that was traded with some mods.

ok all you diehards here they are... true valve covers for out hot rod pins!

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-mustang-mod-coming-true-valve-covers#post-2959137

On my site hookedonpinball.com speedo is functional. Vid on my youtube hooked1989

Owning both id say ...mustang deeper game. IM is great but if one would leave IM would go first. There is just more going on with mustang. Pro is a great bang for buck.

Updated my LE today...very fun game.
Before I knew it I was game 5 in deep...so much for a quick game before work.
Very addictive.

Dont know about that. I spoke to my bearded friend at SFGE.
(maybe its there just I dont know how...)
The cross ramp could be selected by the flippers like AV.
Also he had mentioned something about the player selecting the letter being played for across the back in MUSTANG...unsure how that would play into the rules ...just seems random right now.
I know they have run Prem well over the 100 mark now and I am getting orders from the EU market for Mods on new machines being delivered. I hope they will run it once more in 2016.

Is there a color dmd option available turn key for Mustang?
Seems color DMD doesnt have it PinballDMD I dont see any kits?

Those look like they fit nascar well.

Maybe something left side 1963 protos to 1973 wide body cars.
Rt side top hinge areas mustang 2 cobra...best of the bad years 1979 pace 1982 5.0 1985 last of the carb cars. 1987 Fox 5.0 1995 cobra r 2000r 2005 new style 2008 KR....ending at the shooter with 2016 Shelby 500.
Kind of a through the years tribute.

Yes you right that's prefect for Full Throttle.

There is or was a bag inside of the lower cab to the left of.the speaker which has all the pieces needed.

I learned the hard way...made my own platforms then found them lol.
Now start mod'n that pro

If any pro guys want a bolt on horse above the DMD get a 93 cobra grill emblem...its what Stern used.
Your Speaker panel is predrilled for mounting it....well early ones were unsure of the current production.
Flip over your speaker panel - should be a hole in the center. You simply poke a hole in the speaker decal then it mounts in place.
Reference:

ebay.com link: 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 MUSTANG COBRA BUMPER INSERT EMBLEM

I believe I got mine from CJ pony parts.

Yes that looks.like it.

Paul- he is looking for the emblem above the dmd that stern used.

NOS gauge testing. Gauges are here - faces are done - working on bracket and response of gauge.
Not dead just testing mod.

I believe the red apron is extinct. I do make a mustang metal apron in black with red running horse log and I am working on a LE chrome version now.

Hey Paul,
I have been playing with two vendors gauges and not happy with the readings yet.
One gauge reads great but there is feedback in the insert lights...so I am playing with still.
Once I get it right I can move forward.

Anyone have a color dmd out for Mustang yet?

Where can I order it? I dont see it on the site

Sweet!

Any word on a new run of Pro games? After hearing the 1.7 code is coming I was just wondering.
Still looking for my color DMD if anyone has a lead .

Where can it be bought?

Where can it be bought?

There is an le in orlando on mr pinball ...smoken deal if someone is looking.

Mustang specific I got 10 test boards in for my NO2 mod this week. Gb I am waiting on plastics to be cut...more to come.

I posted a picture on page 23 about 4 months ago. It works as is but I'm not happy with it yet.
Hoping these boards will do the trick.

yea that one had some green leds in it which looks like poo but its all I had on hand.

oops your right that one had a red led at the bottom attempting to light the needle.
The current one in my machine has green leds backlighting.
Sorry mixing current and 4 months ago in my head.

They sold out the LE's long ago. As far as I know I purchased one of the last two LE's a year ago. As for staying power, I owned a Pro for a year then sold to upgrade. Cant wait for Color DMD to hit.

This makes me wonder if the GOT le line ever sold out. I believe I have seen more prem GoT owners than LE.

It may not be for sale but I am 100% sure there is a box at stern that is labled mustang le as of last month.

Added over 7 years ago: The last LE sold 4-28 confirmed it with the new owner who placed an order with me.

I made 38 of these before casting my own knob...rare bird.
Good luck with the sale.

Oh my....well its still on my machine. Boards I got did not give the response I want so its in limbo. I have about 4 to 500 invested in it so it will happen some.day lol. Getting areosmith and metallica ready for Atlanta.show at the moment.

The puddle lamps.work great on while floor and ceiling.

Yes please post a vid of how yours works not mine.
Id be very interested in seeing it.... before you blow smoke at my mod which by the way is 89 ready to install and in stock at hookedonpinball.com

For those that may not know a stock tachometer will not have the correct reaction without modification. A spinner does not spin fast enough to trigger the reaction needed. Vid posted above is of my modified tach three years ago.

If someone is looking for the proper mustang emblem used by stern....it is a 1993 cobra grill horse which you can get.on ebay and fits the factory holes on your pro.

No shipping is $6 which covers PP fees and shipping in the USA.

The "blowing smoke" reference means it is misrepresenting my mod you show in the vid by saying you can buy a off the shelf tach - hook it up as you describe and expect the needle to move over 2krpm. Your "more or less needle movement" is a deal breaker to most. My request for you to post a vid of your creation was to showcase what it would actually do if built to that spec.

I'm sure your a mustang lover like all of us at heart and I applaud your efforts to customize your game.

You will get a flinch from any switch on that row...pop..start button etc. If its in the same matrix it will see the ground. The spinner is a series of closures. Once the mod is done the readings alter slightly causing higher rpm readings.

I personally like the 2011 to 2014 Roush bodies. Totally skip 2015 which was a "Lets try this"year. 2017 and 2018 look to be solid with the new body coming in 2019.
We have had three 2017 gt350 cars traded for Roush stage 3 cars which was a shock but seems people are after power and track performance these days. I drove a hell cat that was traded in a few weeks ago...what a heavy load that was. Had 17k miles on it and it felt like a slug.

Reminds me of a story...guy came in and bought a gotta have it green mustang with a stick shift.
Three weeks later he came and traded out for a red automatic.

So the saying around the dealership was "gotta have it green but rather have it red" poor guy lost his butt on a trade but he would rather have it red.

Yes my story did not specify a boss 302 just green mustang honestly cant remember if it was a normal Boss 302 GT or Roush version. Just know he went green stick to an automatic red. I know mustang guys are as dedicated to them as pinheads are to pins so Boss or no boss it was a kick in the tail for him swapping to the red automatic. We had another go from a GT350 to a Roush stage 3 in six months...again kick in the pants on trade in but these guys have money.

Working at a dealership I have seen many new Stangs hit walls, curbs and smoke tires till they blow with under 1k on them lol.
One guy made it less than a mile on his shelby, smoked his tires fish tailed into a curb...one rim and tire to go please lol. Another customer of ours went to pro dyno, left after getting it tuned only to find himself crashed few min later.

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=pro+dyno+red+mustang&&view=detail&mid=3C025634E15D1CF183FC3C025634E15D1CF183FC&FORM=VRDGARshed just a few seconds later.

Hoping for our color DMD soon...teaser or something soon in 2018. I have seen clips but nothing finished.

Anyone getting a 2018 mustang due to the unique body being it changed 2018 and will again 2019. Sure its just cosmetic but its unique.

How much for the cobra? Always wanted a 1986 so also

Lol they seriously mentioned a 4 cylinder diesel last year.

When the new electric hits you guys will go nuts. Still few years away but developed by Roush Racing with faster zero to 60 numbers than current gt.
