Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words. I'm currently fighting with a crazy once in a while issue, but other than that, this car is a ton of fun!!
To answer some questions/comments:
I didn't do the actual spraying of the paint, I just did all the prep work. This was the 2nd Mustang I've had painted, I'm getting better at it. The key is to remove as much trim as possible, it makes the final product look so much better. From 10 feet she's a beut, but it does have some orange peel. For what I paid the guy, I'm satisified.
The rear end is the stock 7.5 inch open diff, which because it was an automatic car it has 3.73's. What I am going to do is just take the trac-lok unit out of the 86 turbo coupe (which Red LX is correct, had 3.45's) and put into my rear end. So voila, 3.73 w/trac-lok rear!
The seats are comfortable as can be. I dont' have the gangsta lean, just the driver's seat creaks. When money permits I'd like to recover them and at that point fix the creak. I'm also trying to figure a way to tastefully mount the 8-way adjustable controls so I can have both seats be powered just as they were in the TC.
Although I do like the
Hurst look, I've ordered a new shifter boot, bezel and knob from LRS to make it look factory. The turbo coupe's boot and shift knob looked like poo, so I had the Hurst laying around from a prior stang. I'm a little bit of a melvin, I like things to look like they at least "could" have come that way from the factory.
