11-17-09 Ok finally time for some updated pics..I decided to loose the old 8.8 rear end it just looked to busy with all the brackets and i had a custom rear end made its a ford 9 inch housing filled with Strange 31 spline axles a brand new strange center section with a eaton posi and polished 3.50 gears as well as Wilwood disc brake assy.....also worked on gapping the doors and fitting the drivers fender ,radiator suppor and dr inner fender ..the hood is also installed...here are some pics...
Rear out with the old
in with the new
Here you can see that the hood and hood scoop are installed ..I opted to use stock rear inner fenders as well as stock hood hinges i wll have them powder coated.....as i needed a starting point for the hinges and i built the rest of the inner fender from here....
12-16-09 Ok time for an update...The company i bought the rear brakes from dropped the ball and sent the wrong ones so after a 3 week wait they showed up ..i built up the rear end and installed it under the car ..had to refabricate the new upper and lower mounts as well as relocate the coil overs and mounting set up.. and reset the rear...once the rear was back where I wanted it I ordered a custom made drive shaft (only 44" long)....as for the interior I had to remove all the sheetmetal that I had already fabricated for the stock looking interior, as i changed the direction the interior I was going..it will now be all black leather and power, lets just say im bringing some new touches into the old..I will post pics when its all installed....
Here are some pics..
Here is the upper mounts that were made from 1/4 steel plate as u cant just buy fabricated mounts for a late model setup onto a 9 inch
12/3/2010 Hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas and New year...started back in on the stang .she is now a roller after i refabbed up the rear and modified the rear the suspension... here is a sneek peek of the interior i am going with...It should look familar..its out of an 08 stang
