    2012 BOSS 302 - It's Here!

    I like the black boss, BUT only with the C-stripe being red. Get rid of the red grill surround, red wheels, red mirrors, and red wing...yuck. If you wanted to bring it to a Nopi import show then leave it. The red one however looks AWESOME!!!! I've been hoping that Ford will bring back a real...

    Evolution Performance 2011 5.0 GT runs 11.65 with bolt-ons

    Didn't see this posted yet and thought it needed to be. I missed out and didn't make it to the show. Evolution Perf. got thier 2011 5.0 GT deep into the 11s! Apparently there were a couple of other 2011 5.0s there running 12.0s as well. Man i love these new 5.0 GTs!!!!:nice: YouTube -...

    Got a lot done on my '88 GT in the last few weeks...

    Yeah maybe on the black lettering. Well for now the car will remain as is. I'm hoping to start my smoothed LX front and rear bumper molds within the next few weeks. I have the donor bumpers and my tooling guy is ready to go. I really wanna get rid of the thick side molding on this car and clean...

    Got a lot done on my '88 GT in the last few weeks...

    No I used the stock ones. When i bought this car 3 years ago...wow has it been three years???....it only had 97k on it and you could just about eat off the chassis (with a good initial rinsing of course LOL). A lot of the undercarriage hardware, parts, rubber, etc. were in excellent shape. I was...

    Got a lot done on my '88 GT in the last few weeks...

    Here's another shot I took, low angle. You can really see how nicely the darker 84-86 tail light assemblies and blacked out recess break up the rather tall rear end of the 87-93 GTs. I've never been a GT body style fan. Not a ground effects guy, I always liked the LXs better since they looked...

    Got a lot done on my '88 GT in the last few weeks...

    Yeah at first i can see that BUT with the 87-93 GTs having such a fat butt out back with the taller rear wing and low fat rear skirt it really needed something to break it up out back. There was just way too much monocromatic 80's action going on. I think the black out tail section really helped...

    Got a lot done on my '88 GT in the last few weeks...

    BTW...the tail light lense install kit with clips and sealer kinda sucks. The sealer or roll of black sticky stuff isn't enough to keep the lense sealed together. There's no instructions so I'm going to carefully pry the lense back off and add some black sealant to it with the caulk gun then...

    Got a lot done on my '88 GT in the last few weeks...

    When you're used to having your Mustang as a daily driver and then you aren't driving it for a few weeks you really start to miss it!!! Been driving my 67 Euro Spec Bug everyday. Makes my GT feel like a luxury car!:D Here's a list of what we got done on the GT... - Tremec TKO - I had...

    The New 5.0 says good bye to the Camaro

    I have written a couple of tech articles for MM&FF and since then I've gotten to know Evan Smith pretty well. In my opionion from what I've seen him do with a car he's probably one of the best at ringing out the best 1/4 mile times out of a car than most I've seen. I was on the phone with him...

    AFR 165

    The 165s are impressive especially if you go with the 165 competiton port versions with 7/16 studs and beefier valve springs. That's the route I went based off the 302 motor and 165 comp heads built for a 2-3 issue installment in Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords magazine. On a stock 1985 5.0 (Merc...

    coupe spoiler, discuss

    One of the guys over on four-eyed pride mocked up one that looked much nicer than that on his notch. Yeah the molded in look doesn't work but what hurts it the must is that it has a FLAT horizontal shape at the top. I'd have given it a little curve to match the trunk lid shape. I have also been...

    If you knew what was what... Your Stang would look like this!

    Carbon Creations Hood

    C'mon, a stock carbon replacement hood doesn't make his car look like a clapped out Civic! Geez, the new Shelby Mustangs have carbon parts and they aren't "ricer":rolleyes: Besides, general rule - do what YOU LIKE...your car. Too bad there isn't a way to get the cowl panel between the...

    2011 GT500

    Yeah, I'm definately out on the stripes....the thinner ones look kinda weak and the solid side stripes just don't look right. I really like the 2010 GT500 stripes - especially the side stripes. I thought they looked clean and bold. The new GT500 is a heck of a deal now. Faster, lighter...

    GMP Mustang Diecast

    Hey guys - Glad you like the 1/18 GMP Mustangs! The scale is actually pretty close. When you're working with overseas factories and people that don't know what these machines look like in person and only go by measurements and photos we send they could be just a touch off. Plus the prototype...

    5 lug swap parts gathering ensues

    Here's the SN95 4 to 5 lug 4 wheel disc brake upgrade article I wrote and photographed using my 88 GT daily driver for Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. John Scatterday of Scatts Auto performed most of the surgery. If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to PM me.:nice: Fox...

    AFR 165 Heads

    You might want to consider this cam...Lunati (PN 510A2LUN). MM&FF did a three part article with a 1985 Capri 5.0 project car using the AFR comp heads and the above mentioned cam. I have an 85 Coupe that I'm using the same heads, intake, and cam as they used with a few more mods more than what...

    Mac or BBK Headers?

    Personally I've owned only the BBK Longtubes. I loved 'em, great clearance and great fit. Never leaked. Only complaint I had was that their polished coating starts to rust through in spots and this was on a car that was garage kept and only driven about 5000 miles per year. Now I am having them...

    2011 GT350

    I agree, too much $$$! The new GT500s will have an aluminum block now, look a LOT better than this car (just my opinion), and it will most likely make more horsepower for about $10k less?! I'll take a new GT500 thank you.:nice:
