    Hydroboost

    I have read some threads on master cylinders and some mentioned that 94+ Mustang MC's will fit early cars. Is this true? If so then it seems this 96 Mustang Hydroboost might fit also? For sure someone here has done a DIY hydroboost install?

    need to sell the wheels/tires on my car, advice as to where???

    For shipping cost on eBay you can set up your auction such that the buyers can calculate their own shipping cost by entering in their zip code. All you need to do is calculate the shipping weight up front when you create the auction. Another option is to state "local pick-up only" in your...

    widest tires in back in stock wheel-wells?

    The biggest factor is how low you want the car. My coupe has 5.94" backspace 18x9s with no spacer and 275/40 tires. The Global West leafs have been dearched an additional 2". The return flange on the wheel openings have been rolled but ironically at this ride height they do not matter much. I...

    Late model suspension

    J Bittles 68 Trans Am coupe pulled 1.01 G's with a modified stock suspension on period correct 15" bias ply race rubber...so why go to all of the trouble and expense to completely replace the suspension with anything like the RRS or the Martz? I understand the need if you have to ditch the shock...

    Fun with +0mm offset Bullitt wheels

    Allowed? Some people think it is not safe and I imagine some racing organazations might frown upon it as well....but if it is done right by professionals like www.weldcraftwheels.com then at a minimum the modifed wheel is just as strong as the original. It is also somewhat common for people to...

    I should probably mention that my car has Global West upper control arms...and I am unsure of how they compare with stock arms as far as wheel clearance is concerned.

    18's on the front?

    The tires are 245/40. The lips have benn hammered & dollied flat. Plus a small pie shaped piece of material was removed from the lower front corner of the wheel opening...this was recommended by the guy doing the bodywork/paint from his experience building vintage and open track race car.
