The Pony's new shoes

[NIKwoaC]

I'm waaaaay to lazy to create a progress thread, but this is what I've been doing in the last month and a half. 5 lug swap adventure. Here is a quick rundown:

Mach 1 replicas, 17x8 and 9. 245s front, 275s rear.
Anniversary Terminator Cobra brakes at all 4, "COBRA" text cut off.
Power Slot rotors.
NRC kit (axles, e-brake, brackets), '94-'95 spindles.
Sn-95 booster, '85 Town Car MC. SSBC APV.
FRPP progressive rate springs, Strange adj shocks & struts, Hotchkis CC plates.
Steeda upper and lower RCAs.

And maybe more... I can't remember right now.

Sorry for the cell phone pics- this is it right after I rolled it out of the garage. Better pics to come once I clean it up a bit.

hit the nail on the head

 

[Cobra912]

wow, I'm not ususally a big fan of those wheels but boy do they look sick on your car! They fit it perfectly. good choice

 

[NIKwoaC]

Thanks a lot fellas, I put a lot of thought into those wheels. I think the 4 eye cars look best with some sort of a retro-looking wheel, and I just love the Mach wheels. I would have liked to go deep dish in the back, but finding a DD 17x9 Mach wheel with the grey accents is just about impossible. I believe AFS made a 17x10.5 DD, but they don't any more. The 10.5 would have been to wide anyway, the 9's are a squeeze as it is on my car.

Here is another, I wanted to censor the tag before I posted it:

... And here is my one and only in-progress picture:

Pepperoni, meatball, and black olive? Nice choice.

Edit... and tootsie rolls? WTF?


Oh yeah, the wheels... they look killer on your car. I don't think I've ever seen them on a 4-eye before. They look like they belong on there. Sick.

 

[MahFiVeOh]

Is that a deep dish pizza?

PS Rims look good.

 

[302GTS]

Nice! Those are a tough set of wheels to pull off, IMO, but that fox looks great with them! I've only seen a few cars pull off the Mach wheels like that!

 

[Darkwriter77]

Pizza brake rotor mod?

I find those rims to be most agreeable.

 

[cornfused]

Very nice, and different!

 

[DeVus1]

The only Mustang GT that actually looks good, even though the 10 holes were a bit plain. Nice upgrade.

 

[90mustangGT]

Awesome. How do those brakes feel?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Looks good.

So how many years do you think before seeing 4-lug Mustangs becomes a rare sight!

 

[ill advised]

Wow NikwoaC, that looks really good. Pappa Johns?

As 302GTS said, the Mach 1 wheels are very hard to pull off. They fit that car nicely though.

 

[5.0Droptop]

Indiana boys know how to do it right.

 

[NIKwoaC]

Thanks for the kind words dudes. I know StangNet can be a tough crowd sometimes, so I was a little nervous to post!

Pepperoni, meatball, and black olive? Nice choice.

Edit... and tootsie rolls? WTF?

A local pizza joint throws them in the box. Its a good idea, but they melt and get all sticky, so they never get eaten.

Awesome. How do those brakes feel?

The most I've driven it was just around the parking lot in 1st gear. I'll post a follow up after it gets an alignment, etc.

Looks good.

So how many years do you think before seeing 4-lug Mustangs becomes a rare sight!

It almost wasn't worth it with how much trouble it is to convert a pre-87 car. Getting the booster in was a farce, and I had to make a bunch of custom hard lines, etc, etc.

Nothing like a black 4-eyed car! Congrats!

 

[Shaolin Crane]

i cant wait to put my powerslot rotors on, im wating till i can drive the car before i let them get all rusty

 

[92GreenGT]

Love it!

 

[Shakerhood]

Looks good.

Unfortunately never, I think as long as they offer those ugly as sin 4 Lug Cobras we will be stuck!
