I think it will be fine for what the car is at the moment. Do you have any pictures of your set up? Just curious as to how the car sits.

Well its been awhile so here is whats changed.

I finished the 9" swap and I couldn't be happier. Unfortunately I don't have an "before-after, in progress" pictures on this computer so these will have to do

The motor was running a bit hotter with the new 9" and gears so I upgraded the cooling system a little.

- custom made fan shroud
- K&N air filter

Better picture of my fan shroud I came up with.

New retro racing seat belts. Ray Brown/ AC cobra repros. They're sweet, all cars should have seat belts like these!


Got this too!

Not much to report, but I did a few things to the stang while on break from college. Was able to get my signed glove box door and the new valve covers installed. They are the S/T valve covers from Cobra Valley, I was having some issues with the height of my roller rockers.
