new pics, 88GT

[rbonella]

Finally got the car out of the garage. Its been a while so I washed it and shot a couple pics. I'm putting the factory GT wing back on soon. And the interior needs a little cleaning. The motor is a 357 windsor with 10.5 to 1 comp. 1969 block, and was assembled back in 1996 (hence the old GT40 intake) car has 64,000 original miles, Tremec 3550, aluminum driveshaft, 3:73 gears, 31 spline axles. B-cam, Victor Jr. heads, 75tb, 77 Pro AM MAF,
Im either porting heads, new cam, higher flowing intake, or starting all over with a 408 stroker. Have not decided yet.

Interesting tachometer location mate.

nice clean car, and good call on putting stock wing back on. i personally never liked the big ones reminds me too much of Rice. good luck with the future engine build.

For the most part I really love that car. With the stock wing you are putting on it will be even better!
Never seen a tach there before. Nice job on something different.

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this.
There are too many nice GT's here, every time I see one as nice as this one I feel bad about the state of my 90.

Wow, that car is really nice. What's going on with the front fenders and rear quarters that I can't put my finger on??

 

[fivespeedsteed]

thats really clean. what kinda brakes are on it? and suspension stuff? nice tach location too. also what is that behind the fog light holes? did you jsut remove the bracket or make brake ducts?

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like they have been extended out for wide wheels like whatshisname did.

are you talking about me? yeah looks to be the same thing i did my spreading the fenders to accommodate larger wheels, looks stock unless you catch it at a weird angle

 

[LaserSVT]

The brakes are 13"/10" 95 cobra brakes, and the fenders were widened 1.5"front and rear. Doug from AutoKraft in Lincoln, NE (metal genious!) does all the Tiger Racing Mustangs, he stretched the fenders using the original fenders (hammer and bean bag) and was able to stretch the rear fenders while maintaining the factory quarter glass (crazy) Check out their website, (Autokraft.com) and check out Doug's widened and chopped baby blue mustang Used to run 275/40/17's all around, but having 275's up front grew very tiresome. Now running 265/35/18 BFG KDW"S, and 295/35/18 BFG DR rear. FRPP C springs (which I hate) megabite jr, lower control arms.

Dude... similar to mind but odd tach location... and lose the wing. Give it it's rightful place on the back of a 4dr honda accord... or the scap value of aluminum is still pretty good.

 

[rbonella]

yea, the wing HAS to go! I was thinking maybe I could sell it to the SN95 guys on here. I had brake ducting going on, but they became tore up so I removed the remaining tubing after the pic was taken.

 

[Chrome_Rust]

I would not install a wing at all... I think hatch cars look sick wingless. But then again I am a coupe owner...

 

[ill advised]

That is one sinister GT.

93 cobra wing would be the one
