    at least it went to a good cause.

    ordered some 4.10's today, plus an install kit, and bought a couple new torque wrenchs because im just crazy enough to do the swap myself instead of paying a mechanic $400+. still need to get a couple other little things (marking compound, speedo gear, fluids, and more tool storage:(), but i hope to be able to get it done the first weekend in october. ive got a couple good internet writeups on it, but if anyone has any good tips i could probably use em. hopefully if everything goes well i can take a friday night off an go see what shell run over at gateway, im hoping high14's/low15's since this thing is still pretty much stock (all its got is exhaust atm).

    Measure, measure, measure and measure one more time to make sure it's right.


    Have fun.

    Good luck! most shops only charge about 250 for instal, id rahter have a mustang shop do it so I know they measured everything correctly. should be fun though!

    if i knew of any around here i would, and thats the funny thing about it, ive lived in this town my whole life and still dont know where any good shops are. guess thats a side effect of wanting to do everything myself, you dont really go out and find other people to do it for you. oh well, im confident i can do it myself, plus itll be one more thing to knock off the skills list.
