I got some new ink in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Magazine

[JohnnyGMachine]

I've been waiting for this to finally hit print. It's my first article written by myself as well as all the photography. I can reall appreciate now what it takes to put together an article like this. It was a lot of work but very rewarding in the end. I think I'm goign to be doing a few more tech articles and look forward to it. Attached are low res pics of the 6-page article and current magazine cover. The article covers how to do a complete brake swap from a newer Mustang GT onto your fox from the first bolt turned to the last including tech tips.
My 1988 GT received a complete brake system from a 2003 Mustang GT. So we took it from stock 4 lug front disc/4 lug rear drum to front 5-lug disc brakes, spindles, and 4 piston PBR front calipers/ rear 5-lug disc brake 2 piston calipers. While I had it apart, I also dropped the car 1.7" with an Eibach spring kit, sway bars kit, and just got the AGX adjustable struts and shocks on. Also added was a set of aftermarket upper and lower rear control arms. Although it's shown with the new Billet Specialties Street Lite Drag wheels, 95% of the time this car rides around on 17" bullitt wheels. It handles and brakes SOOOOO much better, it's amazing.

Cool you must be stoked

[JohnnyGMachine]

Thanks guys and yeah I'm stoked. This is my second tech article but this one I wrote this time. Although John (In the pics) about 90% of the install, The research alone on this project before starting can be invloved. What I mean by that is you wanna make sure you've got ALL the parts before you start. I got all the parts together, did alll the prep, clean up and painting of the parts. But to get your car in an article, be able to improve the performance of your ride, and write about it telling guys about it who are really looking for solid info on this was a lot of fun. I've really got the bug for these cars and as a matter of fact, I may be adding a 3rd fox body to the driveway in about an hour. Looking at another 1985 LX Notchback - super clean driver. "When does the sickness end" - quote from Mr's McBride. LOL!
