I have almost all the stuff in place to do my 5 lug swap and a couple other things with the suspension. I just know I am going to get murdered getting it installed at a shop though...so I was just thinking why not try to find someone from Stangnet that lives around Columbus Ohio to do it! I would love to find someone on here that has the know-how to do it and a decent selection of tools. I would definitely pay a fair price to somoene who knows what he is doing, I would also like to be a part of the whole process learning and helping however I can, I also have a fiar selection of hand tools and a jack, but no air tools. I am not a complete automotive idiot, but I am far too inexperienced to tackle this 5 lug swap alone. Plus it would be pretty cool to finally meet someone in Columbus that is into Mustangs...I have lived here over 7 years now and haven't met anyone besides spoiled teenagers that are into Mustangs...defintely not the crows for an almost 30 year old guy to hang out with

I guess the criteria for the ideal person would be the following; has done a lot of brake work and prefferably a 5 lug swap before, has some tools, and wants to help a newbie learn to wrench a little! I have a 2 car garage with plenty of room to do the work, or if you have a lift I could bring it to your place. Oh and adult beverages are definitely on me

PM me or post here if you are interested, and just so you know here is my parts list:

Cobra 13 inch front brake kit from PPI (also got all fittings/screws I need from PPI)
Cobra 12 inch rear brake kit from PPI
94 GT spindles/hubs
North race cars rear bracket
Fox length 5 lug rear axles from North race cars
stock prop valve delete kit and adj. prop valve from Maximum motorsports
will probably get a 94 GT master Cylinder from MM as well
also am thinking about getting front and rear upper/lower control arms from MM
SS front and rear brake lines
May be forgetting some brake related things

I also have some Shorty headers and a pro chamber laying around I would like to get installed

Well maybe we can both get some help

Or we could meet up and just stare at our cars wondering what to do hehe

I know there has to be a few good mechanics in Columbus that want to help the less mechanically inclined and make a couple bucks in the process.
