costco had some really nice 4' led lights for $40 bucks each a while back, they look similar to a fluorescent light and work great, if anyone is in the market. I put up 8 on my garage ceiling.

This was an option, problem being I would have had to buy new fluorescent fixtures and gut them to use this type of bulb. At the end of the day I got a better lighting package with only a little more expense than going the other route.

I'm excited TOO!!!

@RaggedGT Not a pester at all, it was a matter of time before I got moving on this. To be honest I expected the shop to be done by now and the car build underway. Life gets in the way of plans some times and that will just have to be OK I guess

wait... you picked up a new car????

FoxMustangLvr · Jan 11, 2016

Why are you guys referring to the S550 car as an SN car? It's the 2015 Mustang that your are transferring parts over to right?

I present the "new" 97 Cobra
It's not much now but is slated to be a 25.3 chassis Ultrastreet car when finished some time next year.

Car will be parted out for what I don't need to help fund some new goodies

That is going to be an awesome car. I am looking forward to the build thread for it-and looking forward to the used parts sale coming up as @TOOLOW91 is hoarding all his old parts lol I call dibs on the interior lol
I have those same wheels

stangboy · Jan 11, 2016

I'd love to see how light you can make that SN95. Before I bought my current moneypit...I mean project, I really wanted another 94-95 but I know how heavy they are compared to this little fox coupe. I miss my 94.

RangerJoe · Jan 12, 2016

Aluminum Teksid block in that thing?

I am expecting to get the car down to 2,900 fully dressed in Ultrastreet trim with the driver, this would allow me to put ballast in where we need to so the car scales correctly

Nice, I'll have to look into it!

As of right now the same motor will be transplanted, it may get some new parts in it but that's up in the air. It seems like with these smaller blowers the motors make more power with less cubic inch. 400 ci seems to be where alot of guys are now, we will see how my 438 does this year to determine any changes.

srtthis · Jan 12, 2016

you being on M1 you could throw a metric ass load of compression at her also. make up for what the little blower wont make boost wise

You don't think the fuel debate may come up again at the end of the year ? Something tells me that whole debacle is under the carpet again and not off the table as far as banning still . This year as everyone is flying it will come back up like slinging in the sky because it's the easiest to blame . Just my opinion though .

yup everyones quick to blame stuff... granted the M1 opens up a lot of options but it isnt the reason person is fast. tons of work knowledge and money went into those cars that started the storm

I agree . It comes down to the biggest wallet playing the rules to the T . And maximizing on the combo.

before... I had 1 4' fluorescent light when i moved in, definitely not enough.

After, four lights per row, about 10' apart, going to do 2 more perpendicular to those at the front of the car for more light under the hood also.

That car is one of my favorites . And my garage is about as lit as your first picture

My old house all i had was the garage door opener light, and a drop light for about 2 or 3 months, that was rough.

Sorry @84Ttop for the highjack
