Progress Thread 1985 Gt I Finally Have A T Top Car.

[Mustang5L5]

yeah 85s had single into a Y pipe.

Are you changing that out?

 

[NIKwoaC]

Eww!

 

[GroverDill]

I will be changing the entire exhaust but not till I make it into power phase of mods. most likely not till winter.

 

[GroverDill]

Just using the paint I had laying around, looks ok bit too shiny but it will do.

 

[GroverDill]

Why are the diff covers so damn expensive.. I think I will just keep the stock one for now.

Because the stock ones are so damn ugly I guess. The extra support is nice and all but they're definitely a little inflated

I agree man. Pricey.

Yet they are hot looking and do offer that additional support too.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Wow, you are right, they did go up. I think I paid under $100 for mine new years ago.

They're nice to look at but you'll never really see the diff cover accept when it's up on your lift. I get blingy mods and you're already here with the cover off but the $$ is better spent elsewhere for now IMO.

I'll be getting one of those Cobra MC now that I see how cheap RA has them for! Are those North race car brackets that you scored from the salvage yard? @GroverDill

 

[1990Coupe]

Sub'd for this Thread of Win

 

[GroverDill]

The brackets are off a 94-98 Axle, I am going to run the 3/4" wider axles and 8" wheels.

I have the North race car brackets on my 93 and they are nice but fairly pricey for what they are.

 

[GroverDill]

I had some wheel paint on the shelf so, I gave it a shot. I am not sure I like it. Keep the axle tag yes or no? I think I like it.

Tomorrow the subframes are getting welded in, thanks to my ing awesome neighbor.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I'd keep tag too

 

[QuietOne]

Yes!

 

[General karthief]

+1 stick it back on a cover bolt, gives it that 'stock' look.

 

[NIKwoaC]

I like the paint, looks good in the pic at least.

My axle tag has been looooong gone.

 

[GroverDill]

My neighbor is ing awesome, total perfectionist spent half his day doing this and wouldn't accept any type of payment.

I think the welding job he did is better than what I paid a performance shop to do on my 93!

I will prime/paint in just a bit but man I am impressed with how great these turned out.

 

[GroverDill]

Bling bling!

 

[NIKwoaC]

Wow that looks great. Tig?
