    FoxBullitt

    Here's a shot of the interior with the manual tranny and new console in place. There is still a LOT of work to do in the cabin, but it's a starting place. I have a leather shift boot on the way and several other "detail" parts I am going to install. Still trying to put the final ideas on paper...

    We'll see how long that lasts! I figure if I do the car right, clones will begin popping up all over the place within a year. heck, I bet someone saw this post and started theirs already!:bang: Oh, well. A lot of the comment/suggestions in this thread are already in the plans, along with...

    FoxBullitt

    The car is actually in the final stages of a manual conversion as I type this. There was no way I was going to keep the auto.

    FoxBullitt

    Okay, I am underway with my latest project and I thought I would post up a little bit about it here. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a 1989 5.0 LX notchback with the intent to make it my daily driver. However, when I say daily driver, I don't mean beater, so I resolved to make the car...

    Finally got the '65 to the track

    Lord knows I do. I rarely get the car to the track, so practice on launcing the car is few and far between.

    Finally got the '65 to the track

    Honestly, I was looking for mid-12's considering the hot weather and high humidity. My best 60ft was 2.23.

    2005 Exhaust dilema !!!!!

    Before I sold the '05 a couple of weeks ago, I was running the Stainless Work 1 3/4 longtubes w/hi-flow cats setup. I retained the factoy after-cat setup, but with Flowmasters. It had no drone to speak of and a deep, healthy sound to it. If you are interested in the headers/cats/hardware, I...

    Long Tubes with Cat

    I had the 1 3/4 Stainless Works longtube headers, with the hi-flow converters, transition pipes and Flowmasters on my car before I sold it earlier this week. I loved the sound. I have the entire setup for sale, BTW, for only $1000. ($1399 plus shipping if you order it retail.)

    JBA Long Tubes with High Flow Cats

    I don't have JBA's, but I do have the Stainless Works 1 3/4 longtubes, 3" hi-flow cays, Bassani x-pipe and Flowmaster axle-back installed on my car. The sound IMHO is perfect with no drone. Like others have said, getting mximum benefit from the set-up will require a retune.

    Flowmaster exhaust?

    I have the Flowmasters on my '05 and they sound great both inside and outside of the car. I have not noticed any drone with mine, but others have saids they noticed some at the lower rpm's.

    Bassani axel-back

    I have them, and they sound great. They do have a drone in the cabin however, that can get on your nerves after awhile.

    Storing my stang

    Just drive the car. It's a friggin' Mustang GT for goodness sakes. I bought my car in early November and currently have 16K on it. While they may be hot right now, they will be a dime a dozen in a year or so. Now, if I had a GT500, it would be a different story.

    18X9 Ordered....now which tires?!

    I would not recommend running a 285 tire on a nine inch rim. The optimum rim size for this tire is 10 or 11 inches. Since it looks like you will be running 18x9's all the way around, I would stick with the 255/45 size. That will give you a 10 inch contact path (only 1 inch less than the...
