Has there ever been a color you've sprayed that looked like ish ???

I like it, Dave. What are you planning to do for wheels ?

Wheels? I’m still hot and bothered by Jeff’s old wheels

I think I recall you saying "mini-tub" at some point. If that recollection is true, I like these:

I also like the SC wheels:

10th Anny Cobra wheels.

Nothing but the best for your Boogie.

Anthracite may look good with his gray accents. Or Dave, you could paint some wheels the exact gray you used on your trim.

Billet Specialties Streetlites are really btchn if I minitub it. That’s still up in the air though. Though soon I’ll have to decide, Booger gets surgery on his floor pan, subframes and torque boxes this year.

Do a Google search when you're bored Dave:

Tubbed Fox Mustangs with racing wheels =

Tubbed Fox Mustangs with wide OEM style wheels =

Let the examples for best Fox wheels begin!

The whole question is wether to tub or not.

Did someone say IRS?

Not lately

I found an 8.8 for $100. Woohoo.

It'll be a couple weeks before I can get it though.

Got to figure out how exactly to make my new rear look good now.

Hmm... possible new ct..

My last comment sounded kind of snarky, sorry. I think I want to get an 8.8 SRA.

Nothing against an IRS though. Just might mini tub is all.

Mini tub Jeeves. Not even like the mini tub you see on race cars that rely on a fabricated inner. Just follow Mike's "connect the dots" instructions on how to section the existing wheel tub and add 1.5" to the actual width of the tub. Then, go out and buy yourself a set of 315's cause you'll need something to fill up all of that space inside the tub, and a 315 does that quite nicely.

275's are so puny,....so girly man,....soo early 2000. The green monster deserves a choice USDA set of meats under him.

I dunno why-but it feels like I’ve had this conversation before
And seems like you both where involved in said conversation
