Starting all over

STJIM · Jun 16, 2022

Hello everybody! Well I couldn’t stand not owning an ST so i went out and bought my second one yesterday. I have a list a mile long and going to start ordering in about an hr. First one was a new 20 this one new 22. Hard to believe but the fit and finish is better on the 22. Can’t wait to get started!

Welcome back. Love black when it is kept up.

Totally agree. Black is one of the nicest looking colors on any car when kept clean. On the ST, Black does look sweet. Welcome back and looking forward to seeing what you have planned this time around.

Thanks! Will be posting as progress goes along! Hopefully within a month I’ll be 70% done. Very excited! Jim

Welcome back to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. Seeing the ST in Agate Black makes me miss my 2014 Tuxedo Black Sport and almost makes me wish I’d ordered that color instead of the Atlas Blue that I have.

Welcome back

Thanks and understand It’s not for everybody. I spent plenty of time out on the dealer‘s lot looking at Atlas Blue, Rapid Red and Agate Black vehicles. All good choices but remembered how often my black 2014 had been confused by people as being the Police, ruled out the black and red (Fire Dept) options. Turns out that it doesn’t matter what color Explorer you drive, they all get treated like you’re the Police.

Enjoy your beautiful ST. It just needs some black lug nuts to compete the look.

Nice work in a very short time. Loving the split 5 spokes.

Black is definitely the sharpest color on earth for a vehicle, and without a doubt the most intensely difficult to keep clean. The perfect paradox if I ever saw one!
My SHO and Stinger GT were black, and I was washing them 3-4 times a week.

Also, LEO's use that color in my area so I made sure to avoid it. Don't need angry lawbreakers venting their rage on me.

Got to admit they definitely move over!

It's not the one's moving over I'd be worried about, it's the armed escaped convicts that might come at 'ya that concern me!

STJIM · Jul 6, 2022

Getting kind of tired of worrying about everything you do in this crazy world we live in. I made it to 70 just hope for a few more!

TheHypnoToad · Jul 6, 2022

Looking very nice and black lug nuts too.

Did you farm out some of the work or DIY it all?

STJIM · Jul 7, 2022

TheHypnoToad said:

Thanks! Did some of the work myself. Farmed out springs and intercooler. Hell to get old. Been spending a lot of time with my cardiologist lately. We did everything ourselves on our 2020. Amazing what happens in a couple of yrs. Enjoy yourselves while you can And never stop enjoying performance oriented anything, Cars, Boats, Bikes and the list goes on! Lol
