there is a thin piece of metal that runs down each side of the moulding, where moulding tape is applied. remove that strip and the moulding will flatten out.

nothing to radical. i didn't want to sink a ton of money into a drive train. i went with a stock late model 351W, bored .040 and balanced with an all steel flywheel. port and polished e7 heads. heads seem to flow well enough for a stock 351. gasket matched intake to heads. victor jr intake w/ 750 speed demon. mac 1 3/4 full length headers, 2 1/2 h-pipe and 40 series flowmasters with dumps. the only thing i don't know about the motor was what cam the fellow i had build the motor went with. it lopes pretty well. to be honest i feel it may be too much. i haven't made the decision to swap it for a different one yet. drive train is pretty much stock with the exception of 4.10 gears. ground pounder drag springs, 70/30 struts, 50/50 shocks and mac upper and lower control arms. the car has potential to make more power. i have thought about this, but would have to upgrade the transmission. more money i really do not want to shell out. besides it is fun as it is.

well, i really don't know what it may be worth or what a good asking price would be. it seems the fox bodies can go for a fair amount. course like with any project you always invest a boat load of money and never see that figure at selling time. that is one thing that drives my crazy about other individuals who sink 22k in their car and expect to recieve 22k out of it. i have the understanding that this will never happen; unless you are restoring a 1967 GT500. i need to do some more research to see what a car like this would sell for, plus i want to work out a few bugs before i sell. i just put the car on the road, so a little fine turning needs to be done.

i believe i went with 4.5 on the backspacing and the tires are NITTOs 275/60. the funny thing is i purchased all the wheels and tires new about 3 years ago and just now put 50 miles on them. this has been an ongoing project for quit some time.
