Got mine from JJ @ Gex. My mods so far include; Invisiglass, a pulley, a new car, pinball side mirrors, LEDs in the speakers, under the cab and soon in the buttons too.

Invisiglass was shipped safely with my game.
image-881.jpgimage-881.jpg

I attached a pulley to the ceiling to haul it upstairs. Why didn't I think of this sooner!
image-733.jpgimage-733.jpg

Found the gray one on eBay for $20. It looks just like my daily driver. Maisto and M2 both make 1:24 scale cars that bolt right into place.
image-495.jpgimage-495.jpg

Up close and with some white LEDs in place of the reds in back.
image-898.jpgimage-898.jpg

Picked up my mirror blades at TPF for $70.
image-335.jpgimage-335.jpg

Added some speaker lights DIY style here.
http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/mustang-pro-diy-speaker-lights
image-53.jpgimage-53.jpg

And some under cab that are tied to the speakers, both of which can change color or cycle or flash, etc.
image-268.jpgimage-268.jpg

Up next, adding these to the speaker grills.

Hope you like.

April 17th 2014 is the 50th Anniversary Ford mustang.
The Mustang script is from a 1968. The 2 running horses are off of a Mustang II. Looks Good.

You nailed the dates. good job!

My next mods will be adding a subwoofer, lighted speakes, and adding two cars on the ramps like the premium/le.

Funny the ramps have 4 holes in them and was wondering how you add cars to it - what is your plan?

I'm cutting some lexan and going to add the black spacers and use #6-32 screws and nylon insert lock nuts. This looks to be exactly what Stern is using on the premium/le. I have a couple of hot wheels cars coming from ebay. Mounting the cars to the lexan pieces is to be determined once I get the cars.

It would be a good idea if Pinbits makes a protector set and also includes the car ramp plastics.

Car ramp plastics with a small LED in them and hook to a flasher. Flash under the car. Hmmm, maybe something I should consider making for cheap. If someone sends me the dimensions in millimeters I can try to come up with something cool.

How about using a Comet Pinball 6.3v, 3 or 7 led strip, they only have white and purple right now but their 12v, 3 led strip comes in colors. They would put a lot of light under the car. To get even more light paint the underside of the car white to reflect the light. That "might" work, not sure though.

Dang I want one of these, I might just have to bite the bullet and get the Pro. It would be my first NIB. So who has the best deals?

Most likely I will not be drilling any holes into the Boss Hoss. I maybe able to use the wire axles to hold the Hot Wheel in place. Any other 1/64 car would be fair game.

I did a ton of mods to mine. I installed a train and replaced the mustang with a swinging bell. Swapped out the playfield with an AC/DC one, bought new ramps, moved a bunch of posts and metal guides around, redecalled the cabinet with different art. It's like a whole new game.

I've put many shakers in, but I acquired this machine with a shaker already installed. The connector is already there and the mounting holes are already dimpled on the inside wall of the cabinet for the shaker board, and the t-nuts are already in place in the bottom of the cabinet to mount the actual shaker assembly. I did have to remove this one to fix the board being mounted incorrectly and the screws were loose causing it to rattle. The whole job is about 20 minutes.

Nice mods Tekman. Any body know if the getaway key start mod would work on this game? I'm also gonna do a shift knob shooter rod. I have them on most of my car pins. Griots also has a cool clock shaped like a mustang dashboard that might be a good topper. Hoppy lobby also had a big running horse that might work. Either topper would look good with Lasrerifffic led light changeling topper light.

One more idea. Pinball life aluminum flipper bats. I've done chrome but not aluminum. I think they would look good. This mod hobby sometimes gets out of hand but it's a distraction from my car hobby.
