    Sick Stewart-Warner '68 cluster for the blue fastback

    very nice. good choice on the gauges, that led may be a bit bright, a friend used them and ended up dusting the bulbs with some black laquer to tone them down. looks great.

    Zinc in Radiator

    yup, the dingleberry came attached to the cap. it seems to be working, been there for 2 years and is under heavy attack. $30 to protect my $389 rad along with all the other wetted parts, well worth it.

    carbon fiber 3" cowl

    no offense intended, ppls tastes differ, thats what is so great about the hobby, all the variations. i have seen some imports with cf hoods that didnt fit right at all and like you say (i think, cant dl pic @ work) a bad hood will kill the looks of an otherwise nice car. yr one cf required...

    carbon fiber 3" cowl

    with all the fitment problems of the glass hoods out there and all the factory tolerance variations could you imagine the "my cf hood dont fit right, now what" threads...I agree the year one tbolt hood looks killer, ive never liked the cowl, looks too chebby.

    4 point safety harness, who use it

    "proper harness mounting would be to check an NHRA..." exactly! 3 point (> my 2 point) for added street protection. roll bar and harness for race protection. where do you use your car? hopefully none of us will be testing safety equipment any time soon.

    How much HP to an 8 inch rearend

    ^ what failed? My Auburn pro posi will most likely address the factory track lock issues. I figure the 28 spline axles will be the weak point. Mine is an auto and will probably never have slicks.

    I own an 04 (stock), the 03's do not have limited slip, something to watch out for. Not exactly the cheapest dd getting 18mpg city/25hwy on premium and in an article I saw they rated it as 3rd most expensive car to insure (behind evo & something else) which i am inclined to believe. Fun car...

    64-66 exhaust system on 68 coupe

    stainless could fail, usually in the welded areas. the flowmaster kit i used on a fox was nice and will last a good long time. I am going magnaflow stainless 2.5 and jba stainless headers. go with a kit bent for your year.

    versailes rear discs

    Apparently Versailles brakes arent all they are cracked up to be... ive seen pics of the rotor cracked and seperated from the rotor hat, as well as reports that drums work better for stopping and e-brake. there are better options for rear disks now though from what I understand.
