    there was a wood board in there with two small round speakers- looks like originally it was like a 4x6 or something in there. - in the top of the dash- under the dash was an a/c evaporator. They were fit by dealerships upon delivery.

    after all the number crunching i ordered my new wheels- american muscle SC 17 x9 and 17x10's. i bought these expecting to narrow the rear end 1" on each side. When the wheels arrived i placed the rear end up in there and put the wheels on to get a visual. Looking at it some more i decided to not...

    sat down and crunched the numbers on my rear offset/rear end. Decided to narrow the rear 1" on each side. Will start working on this soon and i need some Moser rear axels 1" shorter. Already ordered the new wheels as i wanted to fit them before i get the rear welded up.

    so today i had some garage time, so i fit and mounted my AJE front subframe. This went way easier than i had expected, just drill four holes, then drop the bushings into the frame and weld them grind and bolt everything up! I mounted one a-arm on and dropped the ds strut in with the spindle and...

    ok so i got my new motor yesterday, talked them down to $800 for a full motor, complete minus the harness and computer with 7k miles on it! Looked up the numbers after it was here and turns out, its an LY6 motor- better heads, more compression- 352 hp factory! Headers and a tune away from 400hp...

Should be awsome in the 64, comes with struts, coilovers, upper adjustable camber plates, lower control arms, k-member - and i can use my parts that i purchased for...

    so im changing some plans up abit. Found a guy with a nice fox body rear end converted to five lug and im trading the sn95 rear end for this, which will save me from having to narrow it and or flaring the rear quarters out. Also, decided to ditch the 351w- although its a great motor, it seems...

    stopped by a reputable mustang shop yesterday to check out some options for my rear end narrowing and check out the cars there. Now im just depressed thinking of how much this crap all costs. He was trying to talk me into a coyote swap and a heits front end, a rear end that costs double what i...

    had most of the day today to get out in the garage and i made the most of it! Welded in the ps frame tie, finished welding the drivers and then started on the strut towers. I welded up the braket that holds the firewall brace and smoothed it in with welds all around. Then i cut the drivers side...

    i say make it however you want it- flares, scoops or not. Its your car. I personally like the simple clean look, but who am i? A nice driver can be had for a decent price and then you can do some modern brake/drivetrain upgrades as you go. Dont get stuck on the numbers. If you want a...

    so i talked to the rep from AJE today and i am definitely going with that setup. It has a tubular K member like a fox body aftermarket deal, doesnt use the factory mounts which i actually like, and it puts the fox body rack in the right spot up front! Also about $500 less and readily available...
