Man that looks like fun fer sure ... congrats for getting out there and driving it like you stole it !!!!!

Glad to hear you had a good weekend and you did well.

Congrats on a great weekend!

We love this thing! Wish that there were more trucks like it out on the track!

Speaking of volvo, did you get rid of yours? How do you like the rear suspension? No limit makes a kit for these trucks for i think around $1200. Would you do the mustang swap again, or possibly find a different solution?

Thanks man!!

Thank you

Appreciate the props....I totally agree. Just the look on people's faces when I rolled into the track was priceless. Even better when it was passing cars that were almost 50 years younger :confused59:

I did get rid of the Volvo, I don't have enough room to store any more than I have right now.

I love the rear suspension and so far it is up to the task of track days and handles extremely well. No regrets.

I am not too sure what I would do. Likely, a 2013 mustang rearend again, I like it and the rear suspension very well. I like the coyote as well but you don't really need much from the donor car.

Trans is a turd. I would either do a t-56, a Richmond, a Liberty or something along those lines over the MT-82.

That would also allow me to run a more conventional rear driveline.

All in all though, I am pleased with the end result, not necessarily the blown up motor in the garage =)

So no rest for the weary....well, I wanted to get these done before the weekend but just did not get around to it.

Stock 2012 mustang rear brakes to begin.

Rearend has to come apart in order to change the backing plates, to I leisurely pulled the diff cover, center pin, c lips and slid the axles out and cleaned them up. Pulled the stick brake brackets off the axle and bolted on the FORD GT500 brackets on. $60.00 each I believe.

Got those on both sides and put the diff back together, it needed a fluid change any way...no it really did. The cool thing was that this setup used the OEM mustang caliper and the GT500 bracket and rotors.

Got the rotors back on and bolted the calipers on as well. That is a 13.8" rear rotor.

18" wheels, 14" rotors in the rear.

I did it mostly because I wanted a bigger rotor, not for any kind of additional stopping power. Should give me a little better rear braking as well.

Going to run out of stuff to do soon :D

Sean

are you running a parking brake at all?

Yes sir. Factory mustang brake hooked up to the F100 foot pedal. Thinking about doing a floor mounted e brake though so I can do some kick panels with speakers in them =)

How was the show....I stopped in your booth but did not see anyone I know in there, Tan truck looked bad ass.

I went on thursday and spent 3 or 4 hours walking around and ended up not going back. Aaron was there alot over the weekend but he was probably not at the booth the whole time. The tan truck was pretty popular, its a cool truck I wouldn't mind having it myself! Im having a hell of a time finding rear brakes for my camaro, I have a bunch of weird issues to work around and im about to just put drum brakes on the back.. behind 20 inch wheels, kind of a sin haha:sieg:

Dude, you cannot put drums on the back of that car. It would be a total sin. I need to get out and say hi to you yahoos, just been busy. What you guys working on now?
