So my mustang will be going in the garage so i can play with it till next summer. I got my money now from school im looking to kind of restore it a little and get the easy stuff done. Im gonna get rotors from summit im also gonna finish my exhaust right now thier is no cats h pipe and im gonna run the mac dumps off that which i will order tonight.

Now heres a couple questions i have a black gt I wanna get new weather striping i know i can get it from 50resto but how would it work does it go over the old or do i take the old off. And another question I wanna be diffrent so in the winter when i do my rims and suspension im doing black cobras with a polished lip i want bigger tires in the back so it sits higher in the back has anyone done this i wanna see what the results are. Also i was maybe thinking of smoked headlights but i want them to look stock and smoked i saw a guy at the tracks with them but i couldnt get to him to ask him where he got them i dont want nothing looking ricey. I searched around on the forums and saw some pics but i dont like the way they look? hmmm

Thanks guys, Dan

You may want to post some high resolution pics of you stang along with this request in the Virtual Body Shop on StangNet and someone could 'chop your car so you could get a feel for the look.

Sounds like you're going for the old school "California Rake" look. It would be way easier if you used some Weld Pro-Stars or other drag race type wheel to find tires in a wide 50 series that would suit your look.

BTW, what is the car's primary function? That has an important effect on how much you end up liking the mods you've done to it.
