Tomorrow I am going to help a friend swap out his rear end for one that has 3.55's installed. Then I am trading my drag radials for his old one so I can start getting mine back together again. I will clean this one up like I did the last one and I will be installing my 3.73's. I am also picking up a damage free stock hood, black in color from him for helping with his exhaust work a few weeks ago. He also picked up the gas tank seals I need to fix mine for a bottle of gear oil so now I can fill my tank and really track the MPG since my sending unit isn't the most accurate.
I also hit a nice jack pot. A guy on a local forum is comming up and we are REMOVING his Griggs racing pan hard bar, torque arm, and rear end girdle and installing a UPR control arm set and stock diff cover. Then I am getting those "extra parts" for FREE!!!! The stuff is comming off a real 93 cobra and he wants to bring it back to stock form. He already has a 2011 5.0 so he said he isn't worried about the cobra being fast or anything. He wants the softer feel back again.
SOOO those will be going onto the 93 while it is in the garage.
Then off of one car and onto another, on Tuesday I will be meeting up with another friend and picking up my cowl hood for the 83

Awesome J, they want $17 for one at the junk yard.
Robert, how about you just purchase the kit yourself for $25 or so and take the 2 hours to do it. I spent an hour or so on the first one. No you wouldn't have to cut them off either. Just raise up the rear of the car and unbolt the tops of the shocks. You will have enough room to remove the muffler and tip together.
