    Bad photos, I got a great deal on billet 17x8's. I just changed my 8in out for an 95 8.8 so it sticks out a little bit. If I got with the fox length it will take out about 3/4 in which might be enough. The mustang cap will be removed in place of a generic black cap

    mustang floor pans are now completely in with new braces, applied seam sealer...will apply POR-15 tomorrow after work..looks so awesome, pass side went in 10000X easier than drivers side, knowing how to attack it sure makes it a lot easier.

    wonder which project i should take on next..i'd really like to have brand new quarter panels to hang on it..but not this winter!

    I would love to go but I work weekends and still have a lot to do on that thing. still have to polish the radiator and build a shroud for it and order a battery tray but I will make it up there for sure one of these days. I just want it running so I can finish the body work and paint it so I can put it all back together and drive it. Then work on the interrior but that should not take to long. My ideas for the paint have changed a few times and its final. motor compartment is Mercadies Brilliant silver and the body will be satan black with metallic silver stripes and the ford gt stripe on the side.

    Looking really sharp, just wish I lived a little closer to Phoenix.
    You guys have to keep me advised about SpeedWorld/FireBird because I have put it into my travel plans to bring the Maverick to Phoenix next October...........if I can go racing at least a couple of times during the two weeks my wife will be there.
