Also installed a solid steering shaft after the old rag joint broke on me. Its always a nice feeling when you hear a pop and gain some slack in your steering.

Next on the list is subframe connectors and possible some Datsun Z flares.

Future plans:
For the rear, I a plan to design a 3 link setup and add a panhard bar.

For the motor, I have a lq4 and t56 that I have sitting in my parents garage...along with a 4in crank. So I am on the fence about swapping it into this car or saving it for another project. Decisions decisions

I dig it! Is the 98 rear set up any wider...it's not IRS is it?

Looks good, much better with the new hood.

Nice! Car looks to be in rather good condition overall. I'm happy to see 5.0 Mustangs and 3rd gen Fbodies get some attention.

I say go stroker LS and have fun. I also vote for 93 Cobra spoiler. Love that spoiler.

The fuel pump has been screaming for a little while now...so bad I could hear it over the radio! I assume it was the stock unit.

Anyways, I dropped the tank and replaced it with a Walbro 190





After I got it done, I took it for a drive down the Devils Triangle!
