    A Foosed Fox?

    Yeah that Boss Fox was done by Mike Desmond. Incredible Designer. He and Chip are both an inspiration to me. I kinda do the same thing these guys do just not full time - maybe some day. For now I stay up late at night and do it on the side. Here's a link to Desmond's site Mad Machines - link...

    Wheel Backspacing / Offset

    ...I think I'd categorize this as "Sticking Out"??? I have a 1.5 - 1.7" drop on my 88 GT using the Sportline Eibachs and if I had those mounted on the back of my car - the first hard turn I'd take the fender would be laying down on the tire. I niticed a couple guys mentioning which spindles...

    Anybody with Eibach Sportline springs - have a ?

    I have a 1988 Mustang GT. I did a complete SN95 4 wheel disc brake swap and put on 17x8 Buillitts. While doing this I also put in a set of Sportline springs (red) which lower the car 1.7" front and 1.5" rear. I also installed a set of aftermarket (non-adjustable) upper and lower control arms. I...

    Billet Specialties - Street Lite Drag Wheels Arrived!!!

    ...yeah I don't like the gold stripe either, it was on it when I got it. I wasn't going to modify this car since it's my daily driver so i bought the tomato red replacement stripe to go on it. Then I put the bullitts on it - red is out. I'd peel the gold off but it will take the paint off too so...

    Trying to get 165/15s for your skinnies??!!!

    A couple years ago you walked into Pep Boys and could get a set of 2 165-15s for about $70-$80! Good luck finding somebody who makes them still or has any of them in stock. Fortunately Kumho makes a tire called the Powerstar 165/80/15. The bad news is they have been on backorder forever! OK...

    Billet Specialties - Street Lite Drag Wheels Arrived!!!

    I know Scott pretty well over there and mentioned that the 5.0 guys really could use a 15x9. I think they already know that and are looking into it. I know that I'd really like a 15x9 and be able to get about a 6" B.S. and that would be perfect for me. See what happens and I'll keep you guys all...

    Lowered car pics please

    I have an 88 GT with the Eibach Sportlines. They lower the car approximately 1.7". These springs will give your Mustang "THE LOOK". Even the import guys can't look away. The car sits so sweet and handles awesome. I drive all back roads with curves and dips and drive an average speed of about 50...

    Lets see some pics!!

    Here's a couple pics of my 1988 Mustang GT daily driver - Scarlet Red in and out. I bought her a year ago with 97,000 miles for $3700 in clean good running condition and now she's got just over 110,000 miles on the clock. It already had the ram air hood on it and a K&N filter, other than that...
