whell i got it back today with the new 4:10's and the rebild kit, it was the 1998 GT i got for 5000.00 cuz of the rear end noise, had the K&N put in and the 180 Degree Thermostat. it had the 1" wheel spacers on it when i got it, still has the 17" 98 GT rims on it, but has cobra emblems ,and hood (i think its the hood) . any ways that will give me something to get down the road , and some other small things ( cams and head's ! ) got all the mods off the site , so thanks for the help ! i love the 4:10's most you guys got , they make it move on out ! and this is NOT my car (fu@k'ed up D-cam i got is crap ! ) but it look's just like it ! i'll have some of mine on soon...

Your stang looks really clean!
What can I say I like black stangs!
5K is a great deal for a 98 also I see
people paying alot more.
Congrats I'm happy you put the fix on your rear end and enjoy your new
4.10's because I know I do.

Those rims look so clean. Nice find man. If that is your car it is stock all around no cobra hood.

hood in that picture.

That's probably why it doesn't have the hood or badges on it.

Well I have a 98 GT as well and i at first wanted to see if I could get vette tires to fit but that was a no go with the stock 17's. I got the 96 cobra R wheels and I like them a lot. I used to have bigger tires on the back of mine and I must say that I like that too. Just my person opinion go with the 10.5's on the back because i believe that they should fit. I also have a question for u too. I am stuck about which gears i should get I have had equal amounts of people telling me to get 373's and some people who said get 4.10's. Did ur gears give u the kind of power u were looking for?

Pughman: I wasn't posting that as a bad thing towards you. I was pointing it out for everyone that was saying that they didn't see the badges and stuff on the car pic you posted. As far as I know the 17X10.5's should fit on there just fine. That's what I'm looking at for mine in the future.

i didnt take your post in a bad way ! i just dont know **** about mustangs ! i have been a chevy guy all my life but found out that fords are better cars, got a taurus and a F250 on 35's so i needed a hot rod ford to !


and i have no clue what the stock gears where... and i only drove it with them for like 50 miles, then had the 4.10's put in...but so far i love them ,B.A.D a ss ! i dont know about the gas mileage but a 70 mph it was at around 3000 rpm...in 5th...

That is a beautiful 68 camaro.

I also found out that FORD makes better cars after owning 3 GMs before I bought my mustang. Congrats on your new car and lets see some pics.
