lol you're nuts dude... that looks way fun. it's hard for me to think that in a year i haven't done a single donut... or seen any smoke from my rear tires, guess i'm waiting until right before i get rims, but it cant be too bad for the tires... can it?

post the vid of your car asap bro

everything is going pretty good....my court date is tomorrow for that speeding ticket which sucks. But my s/n is Chicagofan320

I found the 68 online on www.vintage-mustang.com. The seller is in New York. Pretty much the market sucks right now for selling cars, so his was on sale for a little over a month. I was able to talk him down. He's a nice guy and very knowledgeable on the GT/CS's (he has two). It will be on an enclosed truck and delivered to my doorstep.

The k-member brace pretty much stiffens the chassis of the car by linking each side of the k-member together via a stiff bar. The front end tracks much tighter through turns with it. It also has slots to allow for torque limiters to be installed. The torque limiters attach to the bar on each side and then attach to each side of the transmission via bellhousing bolts. They keep the transmission from turning over when the engine is torquing over at WOT. You ever miss 3rd gear at WOT? Well, the limiters keep that from happening. They stiffen up the drivetrain and make shifts much more predictable. It is a cheap mod for both the member and limiters and well worth it. It's even easy to install... unless you have my car... for some reason, I really had to muscle the bar to get the bolts to go in properly. I think my passenger side k-flange was bent a little.

The GT/CS is treating me pretty well. haha. I did scrape the bottom of the bumper on a parking marker though... I almost cried. My TI intake/tuner should be here on Monday and I got the CHE k-member brace and torque limiters installed. They were definitely worth it!

The 68 is on the way next week via FedEx (did you know they ship cars?). I'll have it in a little over a week I'm hoping. As soon as it gets here... I'm going cruising in the country. Pics will definitely come soon after. I'm planning a front disc brake conversion using repro parts based off of 68 mustang parts for maximum concours look. And power steering conversion will happen this winter. So much work to do!

awesome. I was thinking of going with 50s if I get 18 in rims, a lot of people who lower get like 40s or 45s, so I wanted something that fills the wheelwell up and liked how yours looked

lol i see you did the same thing i did below.... you shouldn't be able to comment your own profile

...................................

my bad, i meant to simply ask what size the tires that came with it are... my car came stock with 17s so i was curious as to how tall of a tire Ford puts on their 18s

thanks for the info... hey what is the tire size on your car with the optional 18s? you are stock ride height right?

hey i think i may be getting the same rear-end treatment on my car... do you like that magnetic panel (quality?) and what about the bezels? how do they go on? and another question, how tough is it to take the blackout off and is it obvious that it comes off? (like should i worry about thieves?) gracias.

man i don't even care, i'm just sick of meaningless high school...
