I've almost got my 86 running again, after an engine/tranny swap and I am now thinking about lowering it some. I need pics and suggestions on what parts to get to achieve the best look. Right now the car is stock height with 15" old school solid 4 lug centerlines on it. The tires are 215/75 15 in front and 245/70 15 out back...I want it to hug the tires, know what I mean?

Is it "ricer" to run air bags on a Mustang?

No Prob. My dad and I picked up the hood eons ago. It was one of the first hoods they produced. Now they're big time and they made the Cobra R hoods for Ford- and I think they might even make the SCJ hoods, but anyway they're good guys. Tell em Sharad from 5.0 Mustang Magazine referred you. Maybe they'll hook up up a little?
