Already talked to the Wife.. She's down so we gotta set up a date. I'll be road tripping the stang
You know how i feel about this one.......
I'm a little bias though
I know, I got busy and was away from the computer. I'll catch you today on there and we'll finish up. And Justin...it will be a good time if you guys come out this summer, that I can promise.
Thanks guys. I can't wait either. Just gotta pick some wheels. I just sold my 96-97 Cobra wheels to a guy. I've got a pair of 04 Cobra chrome replicas, but I always wanted FR500's. Hack Job wouldn't accept them with that 2001 rear axle because they weren't available in the offset I needed.
I'm open to opinions on color and wheels.

Yeah, Justin, we'll talk about what time would be good.
Your rear end was Fox housing, Ranger axles, NRC caliper brackets correct? I think I want to go that route this time versus 94-98 housing. I will never go 99-04 housing again because I was forced to use +45mm Bullits. Nothing wrong with them, but this time I want FR500's or 18" Saleens, or 17x10.5 Cobra chromes. Even with a 94-98 rear, I would need to get 18X10 +45mm wheels. I couldn't even go 10.5" cause they would still stick out.
Yeah some times i wish i went that route as well, but ever since i was 10 years old i knew i wanted cobras on my car so i did 95 axle, but man i would sure love me some silver new edge Saleens in a 18x9

Yep! I went stock fox housing, Ranger axles (which you got me) and NRC caliper brackets.
however, when you are searching out rear calipers go with 94-95's (i think 96-98's too but not 100%) . they have a different hard line then the 99-04's. If you remember mine were from an 01 gt, so for the rear i just did a custom job. Bough a bunch of brake hard line and went to down with a custom setup. Works great but i think it would be easier if you went with the 94-98(?) hard line off the rear caliper. Just my findings
Thanks. Unfortunately, it's not going to be a coupe, but fortunately I've got a couple solid prospects to use. They are both hatches. But my first two foxes were hatches back in 2001 and in 2005. Both white GT's.
I remember you saying that you had to go through some stuff. I felt bad about that, but all my 94-95 stuff was rough looking and 150K miles. I was nervous to sell those to you. Yeah, 94-95 is unique. The lines bolt to the rear end housing.
So fox rear end guys....go with 94-95 stuff. 94-98 or 99-01 housing, any 96-04 caliper set up will work.
I like white GT's

I think a hatch project is going to slick!
If you do a 94/95 rear axle the hard lines are just like the fox, soft line connects to the center of a t fitting on the axle that attaches to the chassis, so you dont need to modify the lines anywhere, and everythig else will work as it should, how wide to you want to go out back? 17x9's without quads will fit 275's on a 6.5" backspaced rim with a 36mmish offset
Thanks. It will be cool because I've already done two notches, so why not change it up. Your project looked cool too. It's nice to really clean up the engine bay. That's one thing I regret not doing on my 1991 black notch. It was beautiful, besides the engine bay. I left it nasty and never popped the hood.
I'm still thinking of what to do. The Cobra I have, has 3.73 gears already installed and new bushings up top. The 94-95 GT's I have only have 3.08's and 3.27's. The fox rear ends have 1,000,000,000 miles on them and rotted bushings and 2.73/3.08/3.27's.
I'm trying to really save as much money as possible on this build versus what I spent on Hack Job, so I might just use my 97 Cobra rear end with all the goodies already installed. I'm not gonna go totally cheap though. The car will be just as nice....excuse me...better than Hack Job, but I want to cut a couple costs here and there.
What should the name of this project be when I start the official progress thread?
Wack Hack?
HAHA...no...."Project 81 Hack Job" was catchy...I need something similar.
1. The official "Project 91 Hack Job" progress thread?
2. "Project 4V mod fox" progress thread?
3. Project "Hacked snake" progress thread?
4. Project "I don't know, I'm an idiot right now" progress thead?
These suck...step in guys!
I like those boys! Keep 'em comin!
