i'm getting a nice little chunk back this year and my wife is letting me keep it all. with the exception of a new pistol (sig elite stainless or a commander style 1911 and who knows? maybe an AR), i am going to spend it on my mustang. here is what i need :
1) paint- i'm thinking a dull antique gold with a flat black hood and stripes (ala jerry titus trans-am car). i will go super cheap on body work and just be happy that i'm not in primer anymore (the car has been in primer since the first bush president). dents add character, right?
2) exhaust- thinking patriot clippsters and custom 2.5" pipes to turbos with no "H" or "X". this is mostly for acoustics right now, but i'd like to eventually support 300-350hp with whatever i choose.
3) 8" chunk- swapping the current 3.0:1 peg leg for a 3.5:1 posi. i'm having trouble finding the parts for under $1100, so...
4) wheels- if money holds out. they will be a grey torque-thrust as a companion to the paint job. i would prefer decent fakes in 14".
any opinions or disaster stories on this stuff would be appreciated. anyone know any talent locally in west-central Georgia, feel free to point them out.
car has a crappy 5.0 and a "built" C4. here is the victim:
