Project "BlackOut" 89 convert.

Very nice ryan. I think you should use that 331 kit, and for the love of god leave the interior alone, it is too nice, just do some aftermarket gauges.


im thinking of doing just black carpet. thats it. but some panels are faded so im not sure what to do to like bring them back to life. i like the grey. but black on black on black would be so sexy.
 
tried polishing the headlights..best i can get them too.

Mine were the same way. I wet sanded from 1200,1500 and 2000 (soapy water), and then hit them with 3M perfectit compound and polish with a professional style buffer. They came out like brand new.

Car's lookin sweet man :nice:

so..guess my numbers! the car feels very stout. like old mustang. compared to this one a world of a differene.. i tried out the posi today..lol. this is seriously. the most powerful stock 5.0 ive ever driven. i think the motor has been pulled and rebuilt at one time. it runs so smooth. doesent drip a drop of oil. the block is clean. oil pan. new gaskets hoses everywhere. for having 142k on it. it sure does not run like it.

so..guess my dyno numbers!

dynomax mufflers
BBK CAI
