Here's my inspiration. Mine will look like that, minus the stripes, minus the lettering, plus a orange pinstrip to break up the black that will be flat black. The Trans Am cars are crazy.

I used those cars to sort of come up with my current 94. a little new, a little old...

I love the Trans Am racer theme for your car. +35245!! All it would need is a big WMM logo

Haha. Sponsor me and we'll see.

Actually... If I get the race crap painted on (I had the idea of "Dawg House Racing" on the front fenders in memory of my grandfather), I could always get White mustang Mafia writtern on it somehwere else. haha

Can't get much easier than that. Simple swap. I'll have a little more umph then you still, but it should be strong

69 Torino Block/Internals/Heads. Heads have been reworked, Edelbrock Performer Intake, Holley 650 Carb.
I have a bunch of reciepts and stuff, but thats the big stuff.

Its not complete, but pretty close. I can grab most of the stuff off of the other motor. I might change up a few things, but I'm happy with the purchase.

Find out the casting numbers on the heads. Figure out what they are. Then go from there.

Found a set of Torque Thrusts II's on Craigslist that I'm going to try to pick up in a couple of weeks when I get some money. Staggered 15" Fronts, 16" Rears, not quite as big as i want but they'll look nioce once they're on there. Cross your fingers that he doesn't sell them in a couple of weeks.

sweet

mikey94gt · May 5, 2010

I think 15-17 looks just right on a early stang. anything more looks silly, imho

white95 · May 6, 2010

or ballah

Steven · May 6, 2010

thats what I have. Just 14's up front, 15's out back. Just run a big ass tire on the back, you'll be straight

I was wanting 17"s all around, it'd look good tucked under it once I got it down on the AirRide setup I am going with. But I'm not going to complain with 15"/16" wheels. They'll look good too and have a bit more muscle plus that's less clearancing issues to work with. Gotta change my brake setup idea but it already has full disc brakes. Gotta figure out what they are exactly because it needs new rotors something fierce. Just praying the wheels stay for another couple of weeks.

Silly update, I've decided that I really really really want some aviation gauges in this beyotch. Mustangs were named after P51 Mustangs after all and after checking out some badarse helicopters and oldschool planes, I want a few gauges in my car. They'll come much later on, but I think it'll go great with the theme I'm planning for the interior.

Haven't updated this in awhile!

Anyways, to catch some folks up, I ended up buying a new set of wheels. Staggered 17"/18" KMC Novas... some people like em, some dont, but they fit what I wanted PERFECTLY and will look sick once my car gets slammed on airride.

Home for fall break and I'm spending most of it working on the car. Started wiring it up to put my radio out of the 95 in it, ought to have that wrapped up tomorrow... got some ideas for the trunk and interior. I've got to learn how to fiberglass and I'll be set. Looked at what all would be required to put the 01 Cobra seats in it. Rears shouldn't be TOO hard. Gaps all the way around them, but they fit decently as it, wouldn't take much to get them in there. Fronts will take some custom brackets obviously. They sit super high if you try and just sit them in there and are a bit crazy. Custom brackets wouldn't be too hard to do, but not sure if I want to do all that when I could just get a nice set of racing seats and do a rear delete or something. Stilll weighing options. I'll post some new pics soon.
