I'm waaaaay to lazy to create a progress thread, but this is what I've been doing in the last month and a half. 5 lug swap adventure. Here is a quick rundown:

Mach 1 replicas, 17x8 and 9. 245s front, 275s rear.
Anniversary Terminator Cobra brakes at all 4, "COBRA" text cut off.
Power Slot rotors.
NRC kit (axles, e-brake, brackets), '94-'95 spindles.
Sn-95 booster, '85 Town Car MC. SSBC APV.
FRPP progressive rate springs, Strange adj shocks & struts, Hotchkis CC plates.
Steeda upper and lower RCAs.

And maybe more... I can't remember right now.

Sorry for the cell phone pics- this is it right after I rolled it out of the garage. Better pics to come once I clean it up a bit.

Thanks a lot fellas, I put a lot of thought into those wheels. I think the 4 eye cars look best with some sort of a retro-looking wheel, and I just love the Mach wheels. I would have liked to go deep dish in the back, but finding a DD 17x9 Mach wheel with the grey accents is just about impossible. I believe AFS made a 17x10.5 DD, but they don't any more. The 10.5 would have been to wide anyway, the 9's are a squeeze as it is on my car.

Here is another, I wanted to censor the tag before I posted it:



... And here is my one and only in-progress picture:

Pepperoni, meatball, and black olive? Nice choice.

Edit... and tootsie rolls? WTF?


Oh yeah, the wheels... they look killer on your car. I don't think I've ever seen them on a 4-eye before. They look like they belong on there. Sick.

Nice! Those are a tough set of wheels to pull off, IMO, but that fox looks great with them! I've only seen a few cars pull off the Mach wheels like that!

Pizza brake rotor mod?

I find those rims to be most agreeable.

The only Mustang GT that actually looks good, even though the 10 holes were a bit plain. Nice upgrade.

So how many years do you think before seeing 4-lug Mustangs becomes a rare sight!

Wow NikwoaC, that looks really good. Pappa Johns?

As 302GTS said, the Mach 1 wheels are very hard to pull off. They fit that car nicely though.

Thanks for the kind words dudes. I know StangNet can be a tough crowd sometimes, so I was a little nervous to post!

A local pizza joint throws them in the box. Its a good idea, but they melt and get all sticky, so they never get eaten.

The most I've driven it was just around the parking lot in 1st gear. I'll post a follow up after it gets an alignment, etc.

It almost wasn't worth it with how much trouble it is to convert a pre-87 car. Getting the booster in was a farce, and I had to make a bunch of custom hard lines, etc, etc.
