Ya i thought it looked like a candy of some kind. Mine i did in a three stage candy apple red with house of kolor paint (friggin expensive!!). I love the look though. it took a LOT of sanding and plastic to get that hood straight too but that's what you get with fiberglass..
back on topic though... How does your brake pedal feel? I see you stuck with the drums in the rear but the fronts are bigger, you gonna be going with disk in the future?

i might do the discs in the future.. but the pedal does feel a little weird .. hey quick question!! i was told that all 8.8 differentials had trac-lok.. now when i had the stang up on 4 jack stands.. i turned the car on and threw it into 1 first gear... i looked back and saw only the right wheel spinning....what da F?!?!?! and when i put the parking brake on the LEFT wheel starting spinning... riddle me that!! BATMAN!
now im having all types of issues with it...the alingment is all wrong.. like its really really bad.. i rub the fender on my right side and my turning radius is shorter... i think it might be due to the size of the spindles.
Yes you NEED to get it re-aligned! I did the eyeball alignment on mine just to move it around but it needs to be done the right way. I had to adjust the tie rods quite a bit. If you didn't adjust anything your front tires will be toed in a LOT. I should have mentioned something to you before, the steering geometry is a lot different with the newer spindles which is why the tie rods need to come out, and you may also need to compensate for bumpsteer since your car is lowered a lot (I know very little about bumpsteer though so someone else would have to help you with that). Which year spindles did you end up using?
they are 01 spindles..it sucks because NO ONE in this town will mess with an front alignment that has been lowered..therefore im going to use spring boosters...cuz the car sits way too low..im going to tryin to bring it up a bit...
yea i think so too... for the mean time i think im going to boost the springs and get anlignment... then in the future when i have time im going to check out the Junk Yards for 95-96 spindles.. ive just being spending soo much time on the car!
