    flex a Form fiberglass springs

    How is talking to the FAF rep "second hand" info? Anyway, I have not had any problem with fraying or wheel hop and I think my 482 FE makes "decent HP". I do have staggered shocks, so that probably helps with the wheel hop. Definitely recommended.

    I would like to put a chin spoiler on a 68

    Just do what Foose does and cut the spoiler to whatever size/shape you want.

    70 spindle will it fit?

    The geometry is the same but 70 and up spindles are stronger. Would it make a difference on the street? Probably not. Do you already have the Cobra brakes? TCP has Wilwood brakes to fit 70 disc spindles.

    Feller for a product, Traction Device

    This site shows a few different ways to control wheel hop. Might give you some more ideas. +1 for engineering more/better parts for Mustangs. http://www.timskelton.com/lightning/race_prep/suspension/traction_bars.htm

    G-Bar rear exhaust photo

    When I was putting in my Magnaflow exhaust, I was concerned about being able to get the slip-fit joints apart. Plus I liked the clean look of a welded exhaust behind the mufflers. I used V-band clamps (commonly used in turbo applications) to make a quick disconnect for my exhaust. This way when...

    My bad. I pulled the pics from my posts but can't do anything about the responses that quoted my pics. Great project. Keep the updates coming.

    It's a real mild 482 so I can run power brakes and A/C. I am guessing 500hp/525tq. 67s didn't come with staggered shocks. I converted mine because of my previous wheel hop issues. Ford offered a drag-pack option on their 69-70 Mustangs that came with staggered shocks. They were also on...

    CPRstreetmachines 1969 Turbo'd Pro-Touring GT2 build

    I have a 482 FE with a TKO600 and 3.50 rear. It puts a fair amount of torque to the rear wheels. I have zero wheel hop. When I had regular leafs and under ride "traction master" type bars, I had terrible wheel hop. I also have Shelby snubbers for my springs so that may have help eliminate wheel...

    Should the white line that separates the green and black continue to the trunk? Not sure how the white border will look on a real car. Do you have any pics of a car that has used that technique to separate colors?

    The Wilwood Superlite Brake Kit Thread

    For good info on Wilwood brakes go to: http://www.hotrodsusa.com/store/brakesmustang.html They are very detailed about offset and spindle requirements. Their tech support guy was very helpful too. I have Wilwoods front and rear (I wanted matching rotors that you couldn't get with Baer). I...

    Composite springs and staggered shocks - you won't need a torque arm.

    [Snakepilot: nice paperweight! ;) This is for a track car so it has to take turns well. Big blocks definitely not an option. 122lb block = paperweight?

    Yeah, I don't mess with those little engines too much.
