Ok thanks, my car has the bigger front fenders and it's not lowered yet so I'm hoping to get away with it till the tires wear out, then I'll go smaller.

See, there's the problem. Completion date? Man, I'm glad I never thought of putting a deadline on my recreation. "I will begin to have fun at 10:14 AM, on the 30th of February, 2009..." First, its NEVER done. Second, its not work; if building it ain't fun, you may need a new hobby. 3rd, chit happens, things come up, priorities change, and the world will turn. Obi Wan said, "Patience, young padowan, a dangerous path to the dark side awaits those in a hurry..." Relax, man, you HAVE the car, the rest just comes. Unless you're terminal.

The only 5.0 Mustang likely to increase in value would be a very low mile car with all the original parts on it in excellent condition. It would have to be a collectible show car, like a mint 57 Chevy BelAir 2dr hardtop with the 4 barrel 283. All the rest of the Mustangs you & I drive just get worth less money with the passing of every day and mile. It's a hobby, not an investment.

Relax and enjoy your hobby: spend a little here and a little there. Make a few good buys on some used stuff and brag about how you got it for a steal...:

well i have OCD, and i have always been a planner its part of my training, and the prodject is fun im building the car more for the build rather than the car itself and this is always how i have done the other prodjects, and i never said anything about trying to save money...if i wanted to save money i woulda put all the prodject money in an account
